Relocating to Miami

Luxury Homes and Luxury Condos

Miami is home to many luxury homes and luxury Condos. These blogs will cover specific Condos and neighborhoods. Exploring the performance, assessing changes in the environment around these, and much more.

New Construction Condos

Our expert knowledge in new Construction Condos is unparalleled. We have written 'independent reports' on almost every new condo across Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Our independent reports typically look at what we like and don't like about the project. We delve into the best lines and consider the developer marketing around the project and whether we believe they can actually pull it off! Every developer will try and tell you that their project is the best, which can leave buyers confused. Some developer marketing is just purely misdirected.

We are honest and direct and will openly tell buyers if we think they can deliver. We also look at the geographical aspects of these projects and whether they are indeed located in a prime location or not. Additionally, we believe that no project is perfect. There are some lines that we like in a project and some we do not. We also recognize and talk about who the building is a good fit for. Is it good for second homeowners or primary buyers? There is an overwhelming choice of Condos for the untrained eye, but once you apply the size you need, budget, and lifestyle we can typically narrow these down to just a few. Finally, we compare Miami's new construction condos to Fort Lauderdale's condos.

Some towers have proven themselves as fortress assets with strong premiums and loyal end-users. Others are weighed down by sluggish resales, high costs, and investor-heavy ownership.

Miami Branded Condo Mirage | High Value or High Risk?

October 3, 2025
