Miami Ultra-Luxury Real Estate: Why Demand Holds Even With 6.7% Mortgages

Despite mortgage rates that remain elevated by recent-historical standards, Miami-Dade’s ultra-luxury market continues to behave like a distinct asset class: cash-heavy, supply-constrained, and increasingly defined by trophy-level price discovery.
