推动迈阿密豪宅市场飙升的主要动力来自加州的富裕居民，尤其是面对该州拟议的亿万富翁税——一项一次性5%的征税提案将于今年11月进行公投。科技巨头拉里·佩奇、谢尔盖·布林和马克·扎克伯格均在今年60天内先后购入迈阿密房产，其中布林以5100万美元买下艾莉森岛上的一座滨水豪宅。纽约新实施的临时住所税也促使部分豪宅买家暂停在纽约的购房计划，转向迈阿密。
由于豪华房源供应紧张，迈阿密的超豪华房地产市场预计将持续繁荣，竞价战和全价成交屡见不鲜。然而，这些超级富豪买家通常拥有五到六处房产，佛罗里达是否会成为他们的主要居住地仍有待观察。经纪人指出，这一波科技财富的涌入已达到「完全不同的层次」，市场中的买家都是顶级精英。
Miami's ultra-luxury real estate market is set to shatter records in 2026, surpassing both New York City and the Bay Area in high-end sales. In the first half of the year, 24 homes closed above $30 million in Miami-Dade County—nearly double the same period last year—with the majority purchased in cash. Once home to just two such sales in 2019, Miami has emerged as a top destination for the ultra-wealthy, even as its metro area has become more expensive than greater New York City.
The surge is largely driven by wealthy Californians seeking a financial safe haven amid the state's proposed billionaire tax, a one-time 5% levy heading to the November ballot. Tech billionaires Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg all acquired Miami properties within a 60-day window this year, with Brin paying $51 million for a waterfront mansion on Allison Island. Meanwhile, New York's newly enacted pied-à-terre tax has prompted some luxury buyers to pause their searches there, further tilting demand toward Miami.
With limited luxury inventory available, brokers expect the market boom to continue, marked by bidding wars and full-price closings. However, since ultra-rich buyers typically own five or six residences, whether Florida will serve as their primary domicile remains uncertain. As one top agent noted, the influx of tech wealth represents an entirely different stratosphere of buying power, elevating Miami's status among the world's most elite real estate markets.
