What’s Miami’s luxury real estate market been up to? Well, with an expected slowdown after a high-paced second quarter, Miami’s luxury housing market downshifted into a softer cycle in Q3 2024.  While there was a decline in sales volume, prices increased and the average number of days on the market remained consistent year-over-year.
