Hi Seven Isles Neighbors. I am the Street Rep for Sea Island and I am also a Realtor with Compass FL on Las Olas.
Season is upon us, and I have noticed (have you?) that traffic is a bit lighter than usual. Although as a full time resident, I relish this…as a Realtor, I do not…ah, my life is full of conundrums!
We have definitely seen a pull back from internationals coming to our town, but we have also seen a lot of domestic people moving south to our locale.
Time will tell if we get the influx of New Yorkers that some predict will come if the NYC elections turn out a certain way. Personally, I have not seen anyone truly making serious indications of moving to South Florida, but time will truly tell.
As for our little enclave…activity is actually picking up. I have several buyers looking for the perfect house, and since last month (October) three houses on Sea Island have gone under contract after sitting in the market for a bit, including our North Point Lot whose asking price was $17M.
I have professed this many times. A little seller motivation goes a long way! No matter how great you as a house owner think your home is, it is ultimately the buyer who decides your home’s worth.
Luxury Market Snapshot ($1M–$10M)
$1M–$3M: Still relatively strong thanks to cash buyers and relocations. Some listings will see slower sales and selective price adjustments.
$3M–$5M: Fewer active buyers in this range. Pricing needs to be strategic and realistic.
$5M–$10M: Ultra-luxury remains stable, though not fully immune to market softening. In September 2025, $1M+ single-family transactions were up 27% year-over-year — proof that high-end demand remains alive.
