Witness the transformation of Miami's housing landscape as we highlight the dramatic disappearance of affordable single-family homes under $500,000. Rising median prices and increased interest rates have created a lock-in effect, steering the market towards high-priced single-family replacement condos.

Delve into the bustling development scene, from North Bay Village's ambitious projects to Ken Griffin's strategic acquisitions that have captured media attention.
Miami's real estate development scene is a rich tapestry of opportunity and controversy. With major developments like Amazon's lease in Wynwood and the construction of 14 Rock, the region is poised for growth. We also tackle the contentious issues surrounding new housing projects in Miami Beach and the pushback from local residents. Yet, amidst these challenges, the entrepreneurial spirit of South Florida shines bright, offering a promising future fueled by the region's strategic advantages and supportive environment. Join us in raising a glass to the exciting prospects that await in the year ahead.
