Leading sales growth stats with the highest percentage of sales growth in Miami, as compared to the Miami Beach or Greater Downtown groupings, this modest market for luxury condos topped popularity charts in Q1 2024. Our premier condo reports for Coral Gables and Coconut Grove confirmed the pairing also recorded its second-best volume of all time, just shy of reaching Q1 2022's record high.

With its 12-month Sales Trendline maintaining a positive trajectory from Q2 2023 through to Q1 2024, this dynamic pairing was one of few luxury condo markets to report a positive curve in our quarterly review – showing signs of a market poised for robust growth.

In our year-over-year price watch, the Price per Square Foot reported a 14.6% uptick to $851/sq. ft. This shows that sellers continued to receive great value for their luxury condo investments as most properties sold for a gain in Q1 2024.

— Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Market Predictions for 2024

Looking further into 2024, we expect the following to influence market trends:

• With high-income, international expats moving to Miami and domestic buyers demanding larger condos starting at three bedrooms, well-compensated millennial remote workers looking to move closer to nature, and top-performing tech workers buying all-cash, we anticipate a broader demographic to push luxury condo sales this year.
• With the continued inflow of businesses, top-tier decision makers like Jeff Bezos moving to Miami, and FIFA 2026 bringing a bigger boost to our economy, we expect to remain in the spotlight for those seeking a sophisticated corporate destination.
• Offering an unbeatable combination of year-round warmth, world-class beaches, tax-friendly policies, and our prime real estate predicted to offer a 4% price gain in 2024 (as per Knight Frank's latest wealth report), we expect to attract more high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors to Miami.
• Even with new Miami condo deliveries for 2024 and motivated sellers expected to boost inventory this year, we expect levels to remain within the ideal range in these two coveted neighborhoods, keeping it a balanced market throughout 2024.
