Luxury Report
Q1 | 2023 | S O U TH FLO R I DA
An Introduction
from Mike Pappas
In the first quarter of 2023, we began to see indicators that luxury residential
buyers and sellers have adapted to last year’s return to a normal market.
High-end single-family and condominium sales were mostly up across the
board when using a quarter-to-quarter comparison.

Across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach counties, the Treasure Coast and
Southwest Florida, luxury condo transactions jumped from 812 in the fourth
quarter of 2022 to 1,178 in the first quarter of 2023 – a 45.1% increase. The
region’s single-family sector had a 16.9% quarter-to-quarter gain in $1
million-and-up sales, from 1,776 to 2,077. All five geographic areas had
transaction upticks in both sectors during that timeframe.

While the tri-county area of South Florida tends to dominate headlines, the
Treasure Coast and Southwest Florida regions appear to be gaining steam.
The Treasure Coast was the only geographic area covered in this report to
generate a year-over-year gain in luxury single-family sales. That is largely
driven by Stuart, which had substantial luxury transaction and pricing gains.
Southwest Florida had an encouraging jump of 35.6% year-over-year to 396
in the first quarter of 2023 and a 152.2% surge when compared with the
previous quarter. It is possible that supply constraints in the tri-county area
are motivating some buyers to look further north and west.

Why focus on near-term gains from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the first
quarter of 2023 instead of the traditional year-over-year timeframe?
Because they offer a glimpse of what is likely to come over the rest of this
year. Activity should steadily increase – with pricing following suit – as 2023
unfolds.

Miami Dade County Market Highlights
While year-over-year metrics show luxury transaction and pricing
declines in the first quarter of 2023, the quarter-to-quarter comparison
Average Price Median Price
tells another story. Near-term market conditions are improving in the

$2,638,483 $1,700,000
county’s high-end sector. For instance, $1 million-and-up single-family
sales climbed 5.9% from the fourth quarter of 2022 to 430 completed
transactions in the first quarter. For high-end condos, sales increased
-2.3% YEAR OVER YEAR -4.5% YEAR OVER YEAR
by 3.8% to 411 during the same span. The median luxury sales price

After being the only geographic area covered in this report to post
year-over-year transaction increases for both luxury single-family
homes and condominiums in 2022, Broward County joined its
-48.9% YEAR OVER YEAR -51.7% YEAR OVER YEAR
neighbors by recording year-over-year declines in the first quarter of

$1,839,606 $1,500,000
6.4% (347 sales) quarter-to-quarter, and luxury condo sales surged
by 21.6% (118 sales) in the same timeframe. Broward’s top single-

alternative to the supply-constrained single-family sector. Most of

true for luxury single-family, with Boca Raton/Delray Beach
