Top 10 Most Expensive Active Home Listings in South Florida Entering 2026

A snapshot of South Florida’s ultra-trophy inventory entering 2026 reveals more than $800 million in combined asking price across the region’s 10 priciest active listings, spanning Indian Creek, Palm Beach, Manalapan, Bal Harbour, and Miami Beach. The ranking underscores a bifurcated luxury landscape: legacy single-family estates engineered for privacy and land value, and rare penthouses built for lock-and-leave altitude with hotel-grade services.

Across South Florida’s most coveted towers, ultra-luxury buyers are quietly assembling adjacent residences into single, estate-scale homes in the sky. From merged penthouses in Miami Beach to multi-level trophy offerings marketed in Bal Harbour, the move is less about novelty than about solving a practical problem: true “large-format” inventory in prime locations is finite.
