Property Values: What you get for $2m - $3m

The price range between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 hardly appeals to the first-time-homebuyer, fresh out of college. Unless you're a college drop-out and own a social media site.

But the 37 modernist homes in this bracket which are on the market in South-East Florida make up 14% of the total modern inventory for sale, and contribute 11% of the total Dollar volume, so it's rather significant.

While the price tendency for these homes seems stable, exceptional locations and waterfront homes are becoming increasingly rare. That is especially true for Key Biscayne, the small island connected to Miami by causeway, which is slowly developing into a little hotbed of contemporary modern design. A recent street-by-street survey there showed nearly all new single family home construction to be modernist.
