Just Released: Analytics Miami 2025 Q4 Report & Forecast Themes of the week: Wealth Migration • 2025 Q4 Report & Forecast • New Interviews Wealth migration is the theme of the week, and will be the theme of the century. Global HNWI relocations reached record levels in 2025 and still increasing into 2026. Within the United States, a clear trend persists: high value tax payers are relocating and our feeder jurisdictions are predictably increasing their hostilities to capital. The net effects of California billionaire tax are obvious. Recall that Bezos moved to Miami when his home state proposed a wealth tax. He would have accounted for 45% of the theoretical revenue. Today I read that the Netherlands is likely to start taxing unrealized capital gains at 35%. One starts to wonder what these regimes may start doing to curtain inevitable exoduses. Wealth mobility is real. Miami's emergence as a destination for wealth is evident in the year-end and Q4 numbers.
Ana Bozovic Debunks Business Insider
I released my official Q3 2024 Miami Dade report last week.
All of the Miami and South Florida numbers were fresh in mind.
I happened to come across an article in Business Insider that made the bold statement:
“Home-listing prices are down as much as 12% in boomtowns in Florida, Texas, and other popular states”
The article then lists Miami as #1, with a 12% drop in list prices.
This is absolutely not true. Not even close. This is honestly mind-blowing.
I caught this because I am an expert in this field. And in all honestly, this makes me seriously wonder what else is completely false.
NOTE: I previously debunked a Newsweek article that this Business Insider article appears to borrow from.

I emailed the entire editorial board, and no one answered at all. You would think there would be some notion of journalist integrity, since with a platform comes responsibility. And perhaps not coincidentally: The journalist who wrote the article is based in California.
As I keep saying: we are poaching their tax payers & it is still early days.
Our feeder jurisdictions will keep increasing their hostilities towards capital … and towards us for flourishing under a different belief system. (recent example of new hostilities to capital: IL just proposed a new millionaire tax).

These are the actual numbers:
The median list price for SFH in the city of Miami in Sept 2024:
$748,500
last September: $698,900
That is an increase of 7%
The median list price for condos / townhouses in the city of Miami in Sept 2024:
$484,500
last September: $450,000
That is an increase of 8%
===
I will also use this as an opportunity to reiterate my stance that SFH in proximity to the urban core is one of the best purchases an individual investor can make. This logic also applies to true SFH replacement condos.
Median SFH pricing in Miami Dade county is up 10% YOY, while the reality remains that we cannot add more inventory vertically.

830 Brickell just got its TCO!
The building has over 640,00 square feet of class a office.
About 20% of tenants are there now, the rest are finishing their buildouts, they will be in next year.
CONTACT ME for the best investment opportunities in Brickell. It is still early days and the shortage of SFH within proximity of the urban core is underestimated. The play is to align with that.
The blue circle in the first photo shows the location of the incoming Citadel HQ.
The second photo shows a comparison between Brickell in 1979 and Brickell in 2022.
Fast forward another 40 years, and I think the transformation will be even more extreme.
