Some may want fabulous sprawling estates with plenty of space for privacy, while others opt for a low-maintenance option in an exclusive residential high-rise.

The sustenance and even growth of luxury oceanfront aspirations were reflected in Miami-Dade county’s jump in real estate sales throughout 2020. An upsurge of home sales by 16.6% year-over-year was reported by the Miami Association of Realtors. Amid a global pandemic, that is no small feat.
