New market data from October illustrates why the region continues to be one of the preferred destinations for discerning buyers, global investors and wealthy families. 1️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 With USD 4.8 billion in transaction volume (+14% YoY), South Florida confirms its position as one of the most stable luxury markets in the world. All three counties – Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach – are seeing rising degrees. 2️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮-𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 Sales of USD 1 million or more increased significantly. More than 400 transactions above USD 10 million are expected by 2025 – a level that only a few international markets reach. 3️⃣ 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 Around 50% of new and pre-sales in the past 18 months went to international buyers from 73 countries. The region is increasingly establishing itself as a global "safe haven asset" location. 4️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 Miami reaches a new high in the median price for single-family homes. Over the past decade, the values of high-quality real estate have risen by up to 157% – a strong signal for long-term investors. 5️⃣ 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 In international benchmarking, Miami offers above-average value for money: 58 m² for USD 1 million – significantly more space than in New York, London or Monaco. An advantage that is particularly relevant for diversifying family assets.

Miami Once Again Leads Foreign Real Estate Investment in the U.S. - Funds Society ... "For high-net-worth Latin American investors, Miami real estate also plays a key role in international portfolio diversification, combining potential rental income in dollars, residential use, and protection against country risk." [Source: Funds Society - https://lnkd.in/drSreitS] This line hits like a bullseye for anyone operating in the luxury and international real estate space. If you're working with global investors or looking to attract high-net-worth individuals from Latin America, this right here is your insight: Miami isn't just a city—it’s a financial instrument. Rental income in USD, diversification away from volatile markets, strategic living, and asset protection rolled into one. There’s a reason capital from cities like Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and São Paulo continues to flow into Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles. And it's not just about location—it's about vision. Are you positioning your business to speak the language of strategic investment—not just real estate? #InternationalRealEstate #LuxuryPropertyInvestment #GlobalRealEstateInsights (Article and image referenced: https://lnkd.in/drSreitS)

Miami’s multifamily market continues to evolve 🏢 Fueled by out-of-state migration, corporate relocations, and lifestyle-driven demand. But beneath the surface, the story is one of balance between growth and affordability. Here’s what stands out: 1️⃣ Migration & Momentum: High-income job growth from firms like Citadel Securities and Starwood Hotels has added 8,000+ positions averaging $100K, driving demand for upscale rentals across Class A and B assets. 2️⃣ Affordability Divide: While rent growth has normalized post-pandemic, Miami remains one of the nation’s most rent-burdened metros. Lower-income renters are feeling the squeeze as vacancies rise in Class C properties. 3️⃣ Supply & Pressure: Developers face challenges from zoning restrictions, high insurance costs, and tighter lending slowing new projects even as demand persists. 4️⃣ Private Capital Advantage: Institutional buyers are largely on the sidelines, creating opportunity for private investors to capture value in well-located, quality assets. 💡 Why it matters: Miami’s multifamily market isn’t cooling, it’s recalibrating. Strong fundamentals remain, but success depends on disciplined underwriting, operational efficiency, and long-term vision. 👉 Do you think affordability pressures will reshape where the next wave of multifamily capital flows? #realestateinvestor #multifamilyinvestments #multifamilyinvestors #miamirealestatemarket #housingmarket #investors #realestate #investmentopportunities

If a $235M C-PACE allocation for new condo construction doesn’t get your attention, it should. This is now Florida’s largest C-PACE-financed multifamily project – a clear signal of how rapidly this tool is scaling. The Naftali Group just secured $465M for its 67-story JEM Private Residences at Miami Worldcenter (including $230M in construction debt and $235M in C-PACE from Nuveen Green Capital). With the tower already rising and sales gaining momentum, the market implications are hard to ignore. For anyone exploring capital stacks or financing strategy in today’s environment, I suggest this overview of C-PACE financing (full disclosure, I know the author fairly well 😁): https://lnkd.in/etBBvCDP

CEE IS EMERGING. Mews (Czech-founded) just raised $300M series D from i.e Atomico (They became a unicorn at after raising $110M back in 2024.) That's just another in a string of real CEE startup wins recently: Preply raised $150M at a $1.2B valuation (2026) ​Flo Health Inc. (Belarus-founded) crossed $1B+ valuation with a $200M+ investment from General Atlantic (2024) ​ElevenLabs (Poland-founded) hit $1B+ valuation in 2024​ and multiplied it since. ​ And theres many more (see Vestbee) I think we’ve been underestimating our region and the potential it has as a united startup hub. Most of us share a similar background. Similar constraints. The same kind of ambition. And the same end goal: building companies that can grow globally. But when it comes to founder-to-founder networking across CEE, we still operate like separate islands. From the outside it looks different. A lot of Western investors and corporates treat CEE as one market anyway. It can be annoying, but for expansion it can actually work in our favor.​ For Polish startups — especially B2B — CEE is often the most natural first expansion step. You can leverage existing relationships, cultural similarities and a familiar way of doing business. And there’s a very practical thing people underestimate: Poland's success has been noticeds. And references from this market often carry real weight in the region, much more than they do in the US or Western Europe. Also: networking. Poland’s startup scene isn’t massive. After a while you keep seeing the same faces at the same conferences. If you want new perspectives, fresh ideas, and applicable lessons about growing globally - there's so much we can learn from our peers in other CEE countries. That’s why I created Emerging Founders with CEE founders in mind — not just Polish. And that’s why we’re starting a series of meetups in key cities across the region, kicking it off in Budapest in a bit over a week. February 6th we're meeting at Puzl CowOrKing, courtesy to MBH Fintechlab and one and only Baiba Rozenberga. We'll have 7-8 pitching startups (both Hungarian and Polish) and a bunch of VCs and operators. Coming with us are already Paweł Soproniuk LegacyApp Norbert Kapiński, PhD Smarter Diagnostics Anna Firlej Janek Sikora Lukas Trzeszczkowski but you can still join us! If you’re building and CEE feels like your first step toward global expansion — come with us to Budapest - there are cheap&easy flights from Wroclaw and Warsaw :) Free tickets: https://lnkd.in/dEvFaXt2 Apply to pitch: https://lnkd.in/dk2g4XWM Next up: Bucharest and then other cities.

No advisor comes close to Software Equity Group’s volume of M&A transactions or experience in the software real estate/proptech vertical.

That’s a lot! What’s more, we’ve earned client testimonials on nearly all as well as the respect of countless investors and buyers.
