Global Buyers Dominate 52% of Miami New Construction Market – Colombia & Mexico Lead (2025)

Global Buyers Dominate 52% of Miami New Construction Market – Colombia & Mexico Lead

International buyers now control 52% of Miami’s new construction and pre-construction market, with Colombia (23%) and Mexico (20%) leading the charge in what has become one of the world’s most globally-driven real estate markets.

November 14, 2025 – International buyers now dominate Miami’s new construction real estate market.

A groundbreaking new report from the MIAMI Association of REALTORS® reveals that international buyers now account for 52% of all new construction and pre-construction sales in South Florida over the past year. This remarkable statistic—representing more than half of all new development purchases—confirms Miami’s transformation into a truly global real estate capital where foreign investment drives market dynamics, pricing, and development decisions.

The data, released November 12, 2025, identifies Colombia (23%) and Mexico (20%) as the leading source countries, collectively representing 43% of all new construction purchases—or an astounding 83% of the international buyer segment. These buyers seek security, stability, and strategic diversification through U.S. real estate investment, positioning Miami as Latin America’s preferred gateway city for capital preservation and lifestyle enhancement.

This blog post explores what the 52% international buyer statistic means for Miami’s real estate ecosystem, why Colombian and Mexican buyers dominate, how this impacts pricing and development, and what opportunities and challenges this creates for domestic buyers, investors, developers, and the broader South Florida economy.

Understanding the 52%: What the Data Actually Reveals

Breaking Down the Numbers

Total New Construction & Pre-Construction Sales:

  • International buyers: 52%
  • Domestic buyers: 48%

International Buyer Breakdown by Country:

  • Colombia: 23% (of total market) = 44% of international segment
  • Mexico: 20% (of total market) = 38% of international segment
  • Other countries: 9% (of total market) = 18% of international segment

Key Insight: Colombian and Mexican buyers alone represent 43% of ALL new construction purchases—nearly matching the entire domestic buyer population (48%). This concentration demonstrates Latin America’s profound influence on Miami development.

What Qualifies as “New Construction and Pre-Construction”?

The 52% statistic covers:

Pre-Construction (Off-Plan Sales):

  • Condominiums sold before or during construction
  • Buyer commits via deposit (typically 20%-50% of purchase price paid over time)
  • Delivery 2-5 years in the future
  • Examples: Brickell supertalls, Edgewater bayfront towers, Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront developments

New Construction (Recently Completed):

  • Brand-new condos, townhomes, single-family homes delivered within past 12-24 months
  • Never previously occupied
  • Includes luxury towers in Brickell, Wynwood lofts, Coral Gables new estates

What’s EXCLUDED:

  • Resale market (existing condos/homes changing hands)
  • Renovated or “like-new” properties
  • New construction outside Miami-Dade and Broward (the report focuses on South Florida)

This distinction matters because international buyers disproportionately favor brand-new inventory over resale properties—a pattern we’ll explore below.

Year-Over-Year Context

While the November 2025 report provides current 52% snapshot, historical context reveals acceleration:

Estimated Historical Progression:

  • 2019-2020: International buyers ~35%-40% of new construction
  • 2021-2022: Surge to ~45%-48% (post-pandemic migration begins)
  • 2023-2024: Continued growth to ~50%
  • 2024-2025: Now at 52% (new record)

Interpretation: International buyer share has grown 12-17 percentage points over 5-6 years, representing fundamental market restructuring rather than temporary fluctuation. Miami’s new construction market has transformed from domestically-driven to majority-international.

Why Colombian and Mexican Buyers Dominate: The Pull Factors

Understanding WHY Colombian and Mexican buyers represent 43% of total new construction requires examining both “push” factors (conditions in home countries driving capital flight) and “pull” factors (Miami’s specific advantages).

Colombia: 23% Market Share

Push Factors (Why Colombians Seek U.S. Real Estate):

Political and Economic Uncertainty:

  • Colombia’s political landscape has experienced significant shifts with leftist government under President Gustavo Petro
  • Wealthy Colombians seek capital diversification outside domestic political cycles
  • Currency volatility (Colombian peso) drives dollar-denominated asset demand
  • Concern about wealth taxation proposals motivates offshore investment

Security Concerns:

  • Despite improvements, wealthy families remain concerned about kidnapping/extortion risks
  • U.S. real estate provides haven for family members and capital
  • Miami’s Colombian community offers cultural familiarity reducing transition friction

Wealth Concentration:

  • Colombia’s economic growth created new affluent class
  • Successful entrepreneurs in tech, commerce, manufacturing seek global diversification
  • Family offices managing multi-generational wealth prioritize U.S. allocation

  • Wealthy Mexicans seek geographic wealth diversification

Security Considerations:

Latin America:

  • Argentina: Economic instability and currency controls drive Miami investment
  • Venezuela: Political/economic crisis creates refugee capital

Canada:

  • Escaping harsh winters for South Florida climate

Asia:

  • China: Limited due to capital controls but still present
  • Wealthy Chinese families seeking education/lifestyle access

Key Insight: While diverse, no other single country approaches Colombia’s 23% or Mexico’s 20% share—Latin America’s dominance is overwhelming.

How International Buyers Reshape Miami’s New Construction Market

Pricing Dynamics: Upward Pressure on Values

International buyer dominance creates specific pricing effects:

Currency Arbitrage Advantages:

Mexican or Colombian buyers earning/holding pesos benefit when:

  • Peso strengthens vs. dollar (can afford more)
  • Peso weakens vs. dollar AFTER purchase (Miami property appreciates in peso terms)

Example:

  • Colombian buyer purchases $800,000 Brickell condo in 2023
  • Colombian peso was ~4,500 pesos per dollar = 3.6 billion pesos
  • By 2025, peso weakens to 5,000 per dollar
  • Same $800,000 condo now worth 4 billion pesos (11% gain in local currency)
  • Plus any dollar-denominated appreciation

This currency dynamic means international buyers can justify higher dollar prices than domestic buyers because local currency returns remain attractive even if dollar appreciation is modest.

Cash Purchase Premium:

International buyers disproportionately purchase all-cash:

  • Avoids U.S. mortgage underwriting complexity
  • No foreign income verification challenges
  • Eliminates interest rate sensitivity
  • Speeds closings (developers prefer cash buyers)

Cash buyers can often negotiate 2%-5% discounts but simultaneously support higher base pricing because they remove financing contingencies. Developers price aggressively knowing 52% of buyer pool doesn’t need mortgages.

Competition Intensity:

When Colombian and Mexican buyers compete for same inventory:

  • Bidding wars emerge for desirable units
  • Developers hold pricing or increase asking prices
  • Domestic buyers face affordability challenges

Example – Hypothetical Brickell Tower:

  • 300 units offered in pre-construction
  • 156 units (52%) will likely sell to international buyers
  • 144 units (48%) available for domestic market
  • Scarcity for domestic buyers drives prices higher

Development Decisions: What Gets Built

Developers design projects specifically targeting international preferences:

Unit Mix:

International buyers prefer:

  • 2-3 bedroom condos (family accommodation, rental flexibility)
  • Furnished units or “furniture packages” (turnkey for absentee owners)
  • Flow-through floor plans (multiple exposures, cross-ventilation)
  • High floors (status symbol, views maximize)

Developers respond:

  • Fewer studios/1-bedrooms (domestic renters prefer these)
  • More 2-3 bed layouts in 1,200-2,000 sq ft range
  • Premium pricing for penthouses and upper floors
  • Furniture packages offered as standard options

Amenity Packages:

International buyers value:

  • Concierge services (property management for absentee owners)
  • Resort-style pools (entertaining visiting family/friends)
  • Children’s rooms (families traveling with kids)
  • Business centers (managing home-country affairs remotely)
  • Wine storage (luxury lifestyle signaling)

Developers respond:

  • Expensive amenity packages increasing HOA fees
  • Hospitality-branded partnerships (Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria)
  • Services like housekeeping, car service, restaurant reservations

Location Preferences:

International buyers concentrate in:

  • Brickell: Urban convenience, proximity to Latin American banks/consulates, walkability
  • Sunny Isles Beach: Oceanfront, family-friendly, resort amenities, established international community
  • Edgewater: Bayfront, new construction, proximity to Brickell and beaches
  • Miami Beach: Beach lifestyle, international cachet, cultural diversity
  • Coral Gables: Mediterranean elegance, top schools, established prestige

Domestic buyers often prefer:

  • Wynwood: Arts/culture, younger demographic, walkable nightlife
  • Coconut Grove: Village atmosphere, sailing culture, family-oriented
  • Pinecrest: Suburban space, top public schools, single-family focus
  • Doral: Affordability, Latin flavor, proximity to airport

Developers allocate inventory accordingly—if targeting international buyers, Brickell and Sunny Isles Beach locations maximize appeal.

Absorption Rates: International Buyers Accelerate Sales

Pre-construction projects with strong international marketing sell faster:

Typical Pre-Construction Timeline:

Without International Marketing:

  • 30%-50% sold in first 6-12 months
  • 18-36 months to reach 70% sold (construction financing requirement)
  • Risk of stalled projects if sales lag

With Strong International Marketing:

  • 50%-70% sold in first 6-12 months
  • 12-18 months to reach 70% sold
  • Projects gain momentum, reducing developer risk

How Developers Attract International Buyers:

  • Sales offices in Bogotá, Mexico City, São Paulo
  • Spanish/Portuguese marketing materials
  • Partnerships with Latin American banks for financing
  • International real estate exhibitions (ABIR Brasil, Colombia expos)
  • Relationships with foreign brokers and agents

Impact: Projects achieving quick international sales secure construction financing faster, break ground sooner, and deliver on schedule—benefiting all buyers through reduced development risk.

Opportunities for Different Buyer Types

For Domestic Buyers: Navigating the 52% Reality

Challenge:

Competing with all-cash international buyers for best units creates disadvantages:

  • Domestic buyers often need financing (slower, more contingencies)
  • International buyers pay asking price more readily
  • Best views/floors go to international buyers first

Strategies:

1. Pre-Qualification Strength:

  • Get pre-approved for maximum mortgage amount
  • Consider all-cash if possible (perhaps via family loans, business capital)
  • Demonstrate financial strength through bank statements, investment accounts

2. Target Domestic-Friendly Buildings:

  • Wynwood new lofts/condos attract young professionals
  • Coconut Grove family-oriented developments
  • Midtown Miami walkability-focused projects
  • Buildings emphasizing local community over international status

3. Resale Market Focus:

  • 52% statistic applies to NEW construction only
  • Resale market has lower international participation
  • Existing inventory in Brickell, Coral Gables, Edgewater offers value
  • Avoid premium pricing of brand-new deliveries

4. Patience and Negotiation:

  • Projects that don’t sell quickly to international buyers may reduce prices
  • Later-stage pre-construction sometimes offers discounts
  • Post-construction inventory (unsold units after delivery) can be negotiated

For International Buyers: Maximizing Miami Investments

Opportunity:

Miami offers unparalleled combination of:

  • Political/economic stability (U.S. property rights)
  • Dollar-denominated assets (inflation hedge)
  • Lifestyle quality (weather, culture, dining)
  • Geographic proximity (3-4 hour flights from Latin America)
  • Tax advantages (no state income tax, favorable estate planning)

Best Practices:

1. Understand Tax Implications:

  • FIRPTA: Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act requires withholding at sale
  • Estate taxes: Non-U.S. citizens face lower estate tax exemptions (~$60K vs. $13M+ for citizens)
  • Rental income taxes: Must file U.S. tax returns on rental income
  • Consult specialists: Cross-border tax attorneys essential

2. Structure Ownership Wisely:

  • LLC ownership: Provides privacy, liability protection
  • Trust structures: May reduce estate tax exposure (consult attorney)
  • Direct ownership: Simplest but highest tax/estate exposure

3. Rental Strategy Clarity:

  • Many Brickell and Sunny Isles Beach buildings restrict short-term rentals
  • Long-term rentals (annual leases) generate modest yields (3%-5% typical)
  • Furnished rentals (where permitted) improve returns
  • Verify HOA rules BEFORE purchase

4. Property Management:

  • Absentee owners need reliable local management
  • Services handle maintenance, tenant coordination, emergencies
  • Costs typically 8%-12% of rental income monthly

5. Financing Considerations:

  • U.S. mortgages for foreign nationals: Possible but complex
  • Typically require 30%-40% down payment
  • Higher interest rates than domestic borrowers
  • Foreign bank financing (e.g., Colombian/Mexican banks) sometimes available

For Developers: Strategic Implications

The Data Confirms:

International buyers are now the primary target market for Miami new construction—not a secondary niche.

Strategic Recommendations:

1. International Marketing is Mandatory:

  • Budget 30%-50% of marketing spend for international channels
  • Establish sales presence in Bogotá, Mexico City, São Paulo
  • Hire Spanish/Portuguese-speaking sales teams
  • Partner with international brokerages

2. Product Design for International Preferences:

  • 2-3 bedroom units (70%-80% of mix)
  • High-floor premium units (20%-30% of inventory)
  • Resort-style amenities (pool decks, spa, concierge)
  • Furniture packages standardized

3. Pricing Strategy:

  • International buyers less price-sensitive than domestic
  • Premium pricing justified by currency dynamics, scarcity perception
  • Focus on value ($/sq ft relative to comparable international cities)

4. Sales Pace Expectations:

  • Target 60%-70% sales in first 12 months (aggressive but achievable)
  • International buyer urgency can create momentum
  • Quick sales pace enables construction financing, reduces risk

5. Currency and Payment Flexibility:

  • Accept deposits in bitcoin/cryptocurrency (growing trend)
  • Facilitate wire transfers from foreign banks
  • Clear escrow procedures for international buyers

Broader Economic and Social Implications

Miami’s Position as Global Gateway City

The 52% statistic cements Miami’s role as:

Latin America’s Capital Gateway:

  • Families maintain Miami properties while operating businesses in home countries
  • Miami serves as “plan B” if home-country situations deteriorate
  • Children educated in U.S. through Miami base
  • Capital preserved in stable jurisdiction

Investment Hub:

  • International capital flowing into Miami real estate supports:
  • Construction jobs (estimated 10,000+ workers on active projects)
  • Architecture, engineering, design firms
  • Banking, legal, accounting services
  • Retail, hospitality, service sectors

Cultural Diversity:

  • Colombian, Mexican, Venezuelan, Brazilian, Argentine communities create:
  • International cuisine diversity (Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral restaurants)
  • Bilingual/multilingual services standard
  • Cultural events, festivals, programming
  • Global mindset differentiating Miami from other U.S. cities

Affordability and Accessibility Concerns

Challenge:

International all-cash buyers drive prices beyond local income capacity:

Miami-Dade Median Household Income: ~$57,000

Median New Construction Condo Price: ~$650,000-$800,000 (estimated)

Required Income (Traditional 28% Rule): ~$180,000-$220,000

Income Gap: 3.2x-3.9x the median household income

Consequences:

  • Middle-income Miami residents priced out of new construction
  • Teachers, nurses, service workers cannot afford new inventory
  • Growing income inequality and wealth stratification
  • Displacement pressures on working-class neighborhoods

Policy Considerations:

  • Affordable housing mandates in new developments
  • Inclusionary zoning requirements
  • Public sector workforce housing initiatives
  • Foreign buyer taxes (implemented in some Canadian cities, discussed for Miami)

Market Stability Questions

Risk Factor: International Dependency

If 52% of market relies on foreign buyers, what happens when:

  • Home country economies contract (recession in Colombia/Mexico)
  • U.S. political changes alter foreign investment attractiveness
  • Currency controls in source countries restrict capital outflows
  • Geopolitical tensions emerge

Potential Scenarios:

Downside:

  • Pre-construction projects could stall if international sales dry up
  • Developers facing financing challenges might not complete projects
  • Condo glut emerges if international demand reverses
  • Prices correct 20%-40% in oversupplied segments

Upside:

  • Diversified international buyer base (9 other countries beyond Colombia/Mexico)
  • Domestic demand remains at 48% (still substantial)
  • Miami’s fundamentals (weather, tax policy, location) remain strong
  • International buyers view real estate as long-term hold (not speculation)

Most Likely:

Moderate volatility but no collapse—international demand fluctuates but Miami’s gateway city status ensures baseline support.

Comparing Miami to Other U.S. International Real Estate Markets

Miami vs. New York City

New York International Buyers:

  • Historically ~15%-25% of luxury condo market
  • Primarily Europeans, Middle Eastern, Chinese buyers
  • Focused on Manhattan ultra-luxury ($5M-$100M+ penthouses)
  • More geographically diverse (global rather than regional)

Miami Advantage:

  • 52% vs. NYC’s ~20% = 2.6x higher international concentration
  • Latin American focus creates cultural alignment
  • Weather/lifestyle more appealing than NYC winters
  • No state income tax (vs. NYC’s 10%+ state+city taxes)

Miami vs. Los Angeles

Los Angeles International Buyers:

  • Historically ~20%-30% of luxury market
  • Primarily Asian buyers (Chinese, Korean, Japanese)
  • Focus on Westside (Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Bel Air)
  • Single-family estates more than condos

Miami Advantage:

  • Latin American cultural ties vs. LA’s Asian focus
  • New construction condo product vs. LA’s estate market
  • Geographic proximity (3-4 hours vs. 6-8 hours to Latin America)
  • Tax advantages (vs. California’s 13.3% state income tax)

Miami vs. Toronto/Vancouver

Canadian Cities International Buyers:

  • Historically 20%-40% (varies by city, market segment)
  • Primarily Chinese buyers
  • Led to foreign buyer taxes, vacancy taxes, restrictions

Miami Similarity:

  • High international concentration comparable
  • Affordability concerns mirror Canadian cities

Miami Difference:

  • Latin American vs. Asian buyer base
  • U.S. hasn’t implemented foreign buyer taxes (yet)
  • Florida’s pro-business climate vs. Canadian regulations

Key Takeaway: Miami’s 52% international share is exceptionally high even compared to traditionally international U.S. gateway cities, reflecting its unique Latin American connection.

Will International Share Grow Beyond 52%?

Factors Supporting Further Growth:

  • Latin American wealth creation continues (growing middle/upper class)
  • Political/economic instability in source countries persists
  • U.S. dollar remains global reserve currency
  • Miami’s infrastructure and cultural amenities improve
  • Climate migration from northern U.S. continues

Factors Potentially Limiting Growth:

  • 52% may represent saturation (domestic buyers need some access)
  • Foreign buyer tax proposals could emerge
  • Source country capital controls might tighten
  • U.S. immigration/visa policies could change
  • Alternative destinations emerge (Austin, Nashville attracting capital)

Prediction: International share likely stabilizes 50%-55% rather than growing dramatically further—this represents a new equilibrium where international buyers dominate but don’t monopolize the market entirely.

Emerging Source Countries

Conclusion: A New Era for Miami Real Estate

The revelation that international buyers now account for 52% of Miami’s new construction market—with Colombian (23%) and Mexican (20%) buyers leading the charge—represents far more than a statistic. It confirms a fundamental restructuring of Miami’s real estate economy, where foreign capital, cross-border families, and global investment strategies now drive development decisions, pricing dynamics, and neighborhood evolution.

For Colombian and Mexican families, Miami new construction offers security, stability, and opportunity unavailable in volatile home markets. A $700,000 Brickell condo provides dollar-denominated wealth preservation, U.S. education access for children, political risk mitigation, and lifestyle enhancement—making even premium pricing rational when viewed through the lens of multi-generational family strategy.

For Miami’s real estate industry, the 52% threshold validates years of international marketing, Spanish-language services, and product design targeting Latin American preferences. Developers who master international sales channels achieve faster absorption, reduced risk, and premium pricing—creating powerful incentives to continue prioritizing foreign buyers.

For domestic buyers, the reality is more complex. Competing with all-cash international buyers for prime inventory creates challenges, particularly for middle-income households. However, opportunities exist in resale markets, domestic-focused developments, and neighborhoods like Wynwood, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest where international buyer concentration is lower.

For Miami-Dade’s broader economy and community, international capital brings both benefits (construction jobs, tax revenue, cultural diversity) and challenges (affordability pressures, displacement risks, foreign dependency). Navigating this balance will define Miami’s evolution over coming decades.

As we look forward, the 52% international share appears sustainable rather than transitory. Latin America’s wealthy class continues expanding, political/economic uncertainties persist, and Miami’s gateway city advantages—proximity, cultural alignment, tax benefits, lifestyle quality—remain unmatched. Whether this share grows to 55%-60% or stabilizes at current levels depends on broader economic forces, policy decisions, and competitive dynamics.

What’s certain: Miami’s new construction market is now, indisputably, an international market where global capital, cross-border families, and Latin American wealth preservation strategies shape the skyline. Understanding this reality is essential for anyone—buyer, seller, investor, or observer—engaging with South Florida’s dynamic real estate ecosystem.
