Real Estate Market Sees Increased Inventory and New Luxury Developments
The real estate landscape in Sunny Isles Beach is currently favoring buyers, with reports from earlier in the year indicating an increase in the supply of homes. This trend gives potential buyers more leverage and a wider selection of properties. The median home price has seen a decrease compared to the previous year. Despite this market shift, the luxury sector remains robust with significant construction projects underway. Vertical construction is progressing on the St. Regis Residences, and the oceanfront Bentley Residences tower has surpassed its seventh level. These high end developments signal continued confidence and investment in the city’s luxury real estate market.
