Key Data of the Brickell Condo Market Report

The $1M to $3M Market: Volume-Heavy and Value-Driven

This remains the most active segment in Brickell. Sales volume dipped slightly from 88 in the first half of 2024 to 75 in the same period of 2025. Despite the slowdown in deals, the average price per square foot rose from $869 to $894, suggesting that values are holding steady or even gaining traction, particularly for well-positioned properties.

The $1M to $3M range, which accounts for the largest share of inventory and transactions in Brickell, has the lowest months of inventory at 22. While still elevated, it reflects more balance compared to upper tiers. Interestingly, prices have continued to appreciate despite high supply, pointing to a more nuanced environment in 2025 likely driven by end-user demand and long-term positioning. Properties in this bracket are also moving faster, with median days on market dropping from 99 to 65.

For sellers, it’s important to understand how recent shifts in buyer behavior and inventory levels have changed the landscape. In this environment, differentiation is essential. Renovated units can still attract strong interest, but only when priced thoughtfully and aligned with current market conditions. Properties with dated finishes, awkward layouts, or in buildings facing high resale competition are at greater risk of prolonged market time. In a landscape where inventory is abundant, standout features matter more than ever. Success now depends on clear positioning, strategic pricing, and a compelling value proposition that resonates with today’s more selective buyer.

For buyers in this segment, there is an abundance of choice. With ample inventory available, you are able to remain active yet highly selective, knowing that time may work in your favor while you pursue the right opportunity. Value continues to be defined by thoughtful floor plans, strong building reputation, and long-term upside potential. While options are plentiful, the most compelling properties that offer a blend of design, functionality, and investment appeal still attract swift interest. Buyers who recognize quality and act with intention are best positioned to capitalize on today’s conditions.

The $3M to $6M Market: Gaining Momentum and Speed

This segment has become one of the most compelling stories of 2025. Sales in the $3M to $6M range nearly doubled, and the average price per square foot climbed from just over $1,100 to nearly $1,290. Most notably, median days on market dropped sharply from 207 to just 26, signaling a shift from a period of limited activity to heightened momentum.

This uptick is likely driven by a combination of new, thoughtfully designed inventory and end-users who had been waiting for the right moment to act. Buyers in this tier tend to be strategic, prioritizing long-term livability, architectural quality, and overall value.

For sellers, there is clearly renewed interest, but competition remains, particularly from new developments. Properties that offer a compelling mix of location, layout, and well-managed amenities continue to command the most attention.

For buyers, current conditions offer room to negotiate, with higher inventory and broader economic uncertainty creating meaningful leverage. That said, when price and quality are in alignment, waiting too long can mean missing the opportunity altogether.

The $6M to $10M Market: Price Growth Meets Slower Absorption

The $6M to $10M segment posted the most significant price appreciation of any bracket, with average price per square foot increasing by more than 44%, rising from $1,136 to $1,642. Yet, during the same period, median days on market jumped from just 15 to 103. While this may seem at odds, it reflects the impact of increased supply rather than a decline in demand. Much of this can be attributed to newly delivered inventory entering the resale market, where units originally priced at pre-construction levels are now going through a period of price discovery as the market reassesses their value.

For sellers, this puts them in a more delicate and competitive environment that demands precision. With elevated inventory and continued competition from developers, sellers must lead with product quality, strategic positioning, and thoughtful pricing. Even well-located or well-finished units may struggle if not aligned with current buyer expectations. In this segment, differentiation is no longer optional; it is essential.

For buyers, this tier presents one of the most strategic windows in the market today. Motivated sellers and elevated carrying costs have created conditions for negotiation, especially in buildings with a track record of holding or growing in value over time. While certain properties may still command premiums, others offer meaningful upside through private dialogue or off-market access. Those who combine patience with a clear understanding of quality will be best positioned to capitalize in the months ahead.

The $10M+ Market: A New Era of Ultra-Luxury Living Is Taking Shape

There were no recorded sales in the $10M+ segment during the first half of 2025 or the same period in 2024. However, this does not reflect inactivity. The landscape is shifting, with a new generation of ultra-luxury developments poised to reset expectations at the top of the market. Projects like the St. Regis Residences and Mandarin Oriental are redefining what qualifies as true luxury in Miami, combining architectural distinction, refined design, thoughtfully planned floor plates, and elevated services.

For sellers, this shift highlights the need to understand how your property compares within this evolving landscape. Many resale units fall short of emerging standards in design, brand prestige, or exclusivity. Legacy buildings may require significant updates or must offer truly unique attributes to remain competitive. Price alone is no longer enough. Presentation, positioning, and product quality are critical.

For buyers, the focus is increasingly on next-generation towers that are setting new benchmarks for luxury and long-term value. Today’s buyers are highly selective, globally attuned, and looking for residences that align with both lifestyle and investment potential. As the ultra-luxury segment evolves, timing and discernment will be key to securing the right opportunity.

In Summary: The Market Is Recalibrating, Not Retreating

The Brickell and Downtown condo market in 2025 is not in decline but in transition. Elevated inventory and a more selective buyer pool are challenging outdated pricing strategies, prompting sellers and developers to adjust. Still, demand remains steady, especially among end-users who value thoughtful design, quality construction, and long-term potential. Certain buildings are outperforming the broader market due to exceptional management, prime location, and architectural appeal. On the other hand, buildings with aging infrastructure, history of poor performance, or frequent assessments are seeing longer days on market, deeper discounts, and a rise in expired listings.

For sellers, success now depends on presentation, pricing, and product differentiation. Simply being “luxury” on paper is no longer enough. In today’s market, thoughtful updates, floor plan functionality, and a building’s track record matter more than ever.

For buyers, especially in the upper tiers, increased inventory presents new leverage. But well-positioned residences, those with enduring fundamentals and lifestyle appeal, remain competitive. The release of new luxury inventory, particularly from pre-construction towers priced over $3 million, is reshaping the landscape. These projects introduce compelling new options, but they also raise the bar for resale properties, contributing to higher inventory and slower absorption in some pockets.

Final Thoughts: What This Means for You

• Sellers should price thoughtfully, present their property with intention, and understand how it measures up against new development inventory.
• Buyers have more negotiating power, especially above $3 million, but well-priced, turnkey homes are still seeing strong demand.
• Market activity is shifting. Days on market have decreased in many segments, and pricing remains stable, even with elevated inventory levels.
• Top-tier buildings such as Four Seasons, Santa Maria, and Bristol Tower continue to lead due to strong management, design quality, and long-term value.
• Opportunities still exist for both buyers and sellers, but success in this environment depends on thoughtful strategy, timing, and product differentiation.
