A Resilient Luxury Market Fueled by Confidence
Despite economic pressure and global uncertainty, luxury real estate remains strong. The Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® team collected data from 120 U.S. markets, and across the board, pricing has held steady. Even with more inventory entering the market, well-located and well-prepared properties are still moving. Why? Because affluent buyers still view real estate as a safe, tangible investment.
In Miami, I’ve seen increased activity among both domestic and international buyers. Cash purchases are rising, and many homes are going under contract quickly when presented correctly. This isn’t just happening in headline neighborhoods like Miami Beach—it’s also spreading to evolving areas like North Bay Village, Edgewater, and Wynwood. As always, presentation, pricing, and marketing make all the difference.
Younger Buyers and Generational Wealth Are Shaping Demand
One of the standout trends from the 2025 Mid-Year Report is the rise of younger buyers entering the luxury market. These buyers—often supported by generational wealth transfers—are focused on lifestyle, location, and flexibility. They’re looking for more than just square footage. They want waterfront views, walkable neighborhoods, and amenities that fit their active lifestyles.
This new wave of buyers is helping to redefine what “luxury” means. For sellers, this means staging and marketing should speak to modern tastes and expectations. As someone who specializes in helping sellers prepare properties to meet today’s demand, I’ve found success in highlighting lifestyle-driven features and leveraging social media and digital reach to attract this tech-savvy group.
Key Takeaways for Miami Buyers and Sellers
If you’re thinking of selling this year, the report shows that opportunity is on your side—especially if your property is turnkey and located in a desirable area. Pricing is crucial, but strategic marketing is what sets a listing apart. My custom approach includes professional staging, high-end photography, digital marketing campaigns, and exposure through Coldwell Banker’s international network.
Buyers, on the other hand, should feel confident about stepping into the market. While competition is steady, today’s pricing is holding firm, and options have expanded slightly with new listings. Whether you’re shopping for a primary residence, a second home, or an income-producing investment, Miami still offers value—especially with properties that allow short-term rental flexibility like Edge House and other pre-construction projects I represent.
