After a whopping 55.6% drop in year-over-year luxury sales in the second quarter, third-quarter sales of existing homes skyrocketed by 65.2% for single-family houses and by 18.2% for condos when compared with the same period in 2020, according to the latest Keyes Luxury South Florida Market report.

Condo sales rose by 5.9%, from 202 to 214 in the third quarter of 2020. The median sales prices climbed by 7.8%, from $1.6 million to $1.725 million. The number of all-cash buyers increased from 123 to 128.
