South Florida’s Trophy Home Market in 2026: Records, Global Cash, and the New Luxury Baseline
South Florida enters 2026 with ultra-luxury momentum that is broad-based but not uniform: $10M-plus closings remain frequent, Miami Beach condo pricing is pressing higher on a per-square-foot basis, and trophy transactions are resetting expectations without necessarily rewriting everyday comps.
