South Florida’s High-End Properties In High Demand

Where do the affluent buyers shift to?

The scene: Luxury Real Estate, SE Florida- Sunny Isles, Miami Beach, Down Town Miami

The players: Europe, South America, US, Israel, Russia.


The circumstances: Europe's Political and economic tensions not only push up U.S. bond prices, but also boost the US real estate markets, as some of its most affluent residents start looking for stability and comfort elsewhere. Political instability in South America, has always been the driving force out for some of these countries’ investors. General disappointment and loss of confidence in the stock market was the determining factor for the local luxury buyer. Israel has a technologically advanced market economy and although the global financial crisis of 2008-09 spurred a brief recession in Israel, the economy has recovered better than most advanced, comparably sized economies, thus producing a number of substantial investors. Russia: as the number of Russian billionaires almost doubled over the last year to 101, (reported by Forbes), our sunny coast plays host to some.

The results: Luxury homes in SE Florida are selling for nearly what they were at the peak, even if the market as a whole remains in the dumps.
