Million-dollar homes continued to gain ground in 2024 in Southeast Florida with demand driven by wealthy buyers coming from other states and internationally and as rising mortgage rates that hit 7% by year-end sidelined the typical buyer.

 

Million-Dollar Sales Made Up Higher Share of Sales in 2024

In the single-family market, the share of million-dollar sales rose in all counties, with the highest share in Palm Beach County (24%) followed by Miami-Dade (23%), Martin (20%), Broward (18%) and St. Lucie (1%). Million-dollar sales rose 12.6%  while overall sales fell 1.7%

In the condominium/townhome segment, the share of million-dollar homes to total sales rose in Miami-Dade (14%), Palm Beach County (9%), and St. Lucie (3%). The share was unchanged in Broward (3%) and fell in Martin (3%). Total million-dollar condominium/townhome sales fell 1.5%, but this is a smaller decline than the overall 13% decline in condominium sales.

Million-dollar buyers are naturally wealthier, and a higher fraction tends to pay all-cash, which gives buyers a competitive edge over mortgage borrowers especially in a rising interest rate environment. Over half of the million-dollar home sales were cash sales, with the highest cash share in Palm Beach County, at 71%.

In Miami-Dade County, the single-family luxury homes threshold (top 5% of sales) rose 22% to $3.3 million in 2024 among homes sold on the MIAMI MLS sales.  The  “ultra-luxury” homes (top 1%) rose 38% to $10 million.
