Northeast Florida's luxury market spans Atlantic Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Sawgrass, TPC, Old Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine beaches, and Amelia Island. The combined segment has been remarkably resilient, supported by Northeast US relocation demand, low Florida income tax, and strong school zones.

What's actually happening.
01Cash buyers now represent over 44% of luxury transactions, up from 31% in 2020.
02Amelia Island has emerged as the fastest-appreciating luxury submarket, driven by Ritz-Carlton-area demand.
03Off-market transactions are increasingly common at the $2M+ level, with many homes never hitting the public MLS.
04Northeastern US relocation buyers (NY, NJ, CT, MA) continue to be the dominant origin source for $1.5M+ purchases.
05Florida's no-income-tax positioning continues to drive luxury inflows from high-tax states.
★ Forecast
The Northeast Florida luxury market should continue to perform above the Florida statewide luxury average through 2026. Expect off-market activity to grow as a percentage of total transactions in the $2M+ tier. Cash buyer share will likely remain elevated as interest rate sensitivity matters less at higher price points.
