Bal Harbour luxury sales in Q3 2026: 11 verified deals, all on Collins Avenue
Eleven verified sales at $2 million or more added up to $44,650,000 in the third quarter. Four more, all at one hotel-coded address, came with a question mark.
Bal Harbour’s oceanfront.
Bal Harbour recorded 11 verified residential sales at $2 million or more in Q3 2026, totaling $44,650,000, with a $3,850,000 median and $1,693 per square foot. Those figures set aside four hotel-coded records at 9703 Collins Avenue whose residential use is unverified. Counted in, the report as published shows 15 sales and $65,150,000. The sample is small.
Bal Harbour’s luxury market spent the third quarter on a single street. Every sale of $2 million or more recorded between July 1 and September 30, 2026, was a condominium on Collins Avenue. There were no houses, no townhouses and no land.
The harder question is which of those sales to count. Four of them sit at one address, 9703 Collins Avenue, where the records describe the source property as a hotel. Together they total $20,500,000, and they include the most expensive sale on the table. Set them aside, as this article does, and a smaller, cleaner quarter comes into focus: 11 verified sales, $44,650,000 in volume and a $3,850,000 median.
Those numbers come from the Bal Harbour Luxury Market Report — Q3 2026, which Haute Residence published on November 4, 2026. What follows is the story of the verified quarter, and of the four records that did not make the headline.
A quarter told in Collins Avenue condos
The typical verified sale landed at $3,850,000, the sixth of 11 prices when sorted. The average ran slightly higher, at $4,059,091, pulled up by a top tier of four sales at $5 million or more. None of the 11 reached $10 million.
The quarter’s high point came early. On July 10, 2026, a sale at 9705 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, FL 33154, recorded at $6,700,000, the highest amount in the verified set. That address and its neighbor at 9701 Collins Avenue accounted for three verified sales between them, totaling $16,100,000.
Measured by the square foot, buyers paid $1,693: the $44,650,000 in total volume divided by 26,373 square feet of interior space across all 11 sales. No sale in the verified set is dropped from that ratio.
A busy July, then a steady pace
The calendar tilted toward summer. Counted by county recording date, July brought five verified sales worth $18,175,000. August followed with three sales and $15,150,000, and September matched that count with three sales and $11,325,000.
That last figure comes with a caveat. Deed records can be filed late, so September’s total is a floor rather than a final count. And the sample is small: in an 11-sale quarter, a handful of Collins Avenue records can move the median, the average and the share of volume. These figures describe what happened, not a forecast.
The report also took a separate snapshot of supply. As of November 3, 2026, it counted 11 active listings at $2,000,000 or more, kept apart from the sales totals.
| Q3 2026, sales at $2M+ | Verified (this article) | Report as published |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | 11 | 15 |
| Total volume | $44,650,000 | $65,150,000 |
| Median sale | $3,850,000 | $4,000,000 |
| Price per square foot | $1,693 | $1,836 |
| Highest amount | $6,700,000 (9705 Collins Ave) | $7,350,000 (9703 Collins Ave, hotel-coded) |
The question mark at 9703 Collins
A screen for land or commercial sales would have passed every row in the report. An independent review of all 15 published rows on November 11, 2026, found no land, vacant, commercial, office or retail property-type labels; every row is classified as a condominium on Collins Avenue.
The complication is subtler. Four rows at 9703 Collins Avenue, totaling $20,500,000, are classified as residential condominiums while the extract describes the source property type as hotel. Residential use and unit identity have not been independently verified. Among them is the table’s highest amount, $7,350,000, recorded September 2, 2026. Rather than let unverified records shape the headline, this article sets all four aside.
Counted in, they change the picture. The report’s published total, independently recomputed from the full table and left unchanged as a disclosure, is 15 sales, $65,150,000 in volume, a $4,000,000 median and $1,836 per square foot ($65,150,000 / 35,479 sq ft). Those figures describe the report as published; they are not this article’s headlines.
The boundaries matter too. Following the general rules in How we count: market report methodology, the report counts residential sales at $2,000,000 or more (condominium, single-family and townhouse property types) in ZIP 33154 records carrying the Bal Harbour postal label. Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands share that ZIP and are excluded by the report’s locality filter, and the report states that this postal-label selection is not a verified municipal-boundary census. Dates follow the county recording date in the deed-derived extract, not the contract or MLS close date. Q2 comparison figures on the report are supplied summary values, not independently row-recomputed for this article.
Where new construction fits
The resale numbers also frame the village’s newest tower. Rivage Bal Harbour, at 10245 Collins Avenue, is under construction with 56 residences and estimated delivery in 2027, according to its Haute Residence landing card, last verified August 30, 2026. Pricing starts at $13.5 million, above every sale in the report’s Q3 table, hotel-coded or not.
Rivage is context, not part of the Q3 resale totals above. Neighborhood framing stays on the Bal Harbour hub, other active projects are in the new-development directory, and other quarterly reports are under Market Reports.

No land, vacant or commercial rows appear in the report’s 15-row table. All 15 records are classified as condominiums.
