The Miami Buyer Migration

July 28, 2026

Why Buyers Move From Brickell to Coconut Grove to Palmetto Bay If you have spent any time house hunting in Miami, you have probably noticed a pattern. Buyers land in Brickell first, then a few years later they are touring Coconut Grove or Palmetto Bay, and eventually some of them end up back in a Brickell condo. It is not a coincidence. It is a predictable migration that plays out across almost every relocating family and every growing local household in South Florida. The David [...]

Miami Zoning Laws Explained: What Every Buyer Must Know Before You Purchase

July 27, 2026

Before you buy that corner lot, that waterfront fixer-upper, or the multi-parcel site you're eyeing for a new development, there is one conversation you need to have first: the one about zoning. Miami's rules on what can be built, where, and how tall are changing fast, and buyers who skip this step often find out the hard way, sometimes after closing, that their lot can't be developed the way they imagined. That's why we sat down with Javier Vazquez for this episode of Better Decisions, [...]

July 27, 2026

Where Claude AI Impressed Us—and Where It Fell Short. If you're not asking Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini about your next Miami real estate move, you're probably in the minority. AI has become the new first stop for buyers doing their homework before they ever call an agent. So we decided to test it. With 20 years of selling luxury real estate on the ground in Miami, we wanted to know: does Claude actually understand this market, or is it just really good at sounding like it [...]

How We Set a Ponce Davis Record: $2,545 Per Square Foot — and the Playbook Behind It

July 24, 2026

By David Siddons, David Siddons Group | Douglas Elliman Ponce Davis just set a new ceiling. We closed 5545 SW 81st Terrace at $2,545 per square foot — the highest price per foot ever recorded in the neighborhood. That number deserves a second look, because of where it happened. Ponce Davis has no waterfront. Not a single canal or bay lot. This is a dry-lot neighborhood, start to finish. And a dry lot just cleared a price per foot that most of Miami assumes only water [...]

The 5 Best Condos in Bal Harbour & Surfside 2026 (And 2 Condos to Avoid)

June 23, 2026

The Bal Harbour and Surfside condo market in 2026 is more divided than any single number captures. The corridor carries roughly 15 months of inventory and an average closing near $1,837 per square foot, with the typical unit sitting around 200 days — technically a buyer's market. But that headline hides three markets stacked on each other: ultra-prime branded product setting records (Surf Club has closed as high as $7,949 per square foot), a contemporary luxury tier where all-cash buyers pay for quality but not [...]
