Top 12 Miamism Articles of 2025

Welcome to Miamism’s Top 12 Articles of 2025, a curated roundup of the stories that defined this year through architecture, culture, lifestyle, and real Miami perspective.

Let’s start with some brutal honesty. 2025 was not an easy real estate year. Uncertainty ruled, and the market was tough to read. Why? Because we witnessed a lot of firsts. A so-called buyer’s market where sellers kept overpricing, creating the illusion of falling values. The economy runs on a supply and demand equation, but when behavior breaks from historic logic, economists are left shrugging.

Which brings us back to the broken record. Stop generalizing macro markets. Real estate is local. Micro markets tell the truth.

As Managing Partner and Co-Owner of Avanti Way East Miami, leading a powerhouse branch of nearly 200 agents, I’ve seen how innovation, storytelling, and hyperlocal insight continue to shape the future of real estate. From cultural deep dives to moments that captured the soul of our city, this year’s posts were all about clarity, purpose, and showing up for Miami in ways that matter.

2025 was also a year of amplified impact. I had the chance to speak on global stages about AI, help shape national conversations through leadership roles at Miami Realtors, Florida Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors, and still find time to tell the stories that make you stop and see Miami through a different lens.

These 15 most read articles reflect what resonated with you, our readers, clients, colleagues, and neighbors.

Thank you for continuing to believe in thoughtful content that celebrates Miami’s essence.

And remember, we don’t just write blog posts. Our real estate team is here when you need strategy, insight, or someone who truly understands this city.

Here’s to 2026. Stay sharp. Stay curious. Keep it 100 percent Miamism.

From all of us at the Miamism Sales Team, Happy New Year.
