Brazilian businessman Camilo Miguel Jr, owner of Mast Capital, comments on the evolution of the profile of Brazilians purchasing real estate in Miami. He notes that unlike previous years when Miami Beach was the preferred destination due to its tourist appeal, buyers are now expanding their search to the entire metropolitan area. This trend reflects a significant change in demand driven by affluent Brazilians looking for diverse investment opportunities.

Recent estimates from Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicate that around 400,000 Brazilians reside in the Miami region, which has likely influenced this shift in purchasing behavior. During Miguel Jr's recent visit to São Paulo, he highlighted that Brazilians now have greater purchasing power, particularly for luxury properties. The price range for some of the high-end accommodations under construction by Mast Capital is between $2 million and $75 million, showcasing the high-end market's appeal to wealthy buyers from Brazil.

Additionally, the presence of major Brazilian banks such as BTG Pactual, XP, and Itaú establishing offices in Miami signals a strengthening of economic ties and support structures for Brazilian investors. The combination of increased purchasing power, a diverse array of property options, and favorable financing conditions in Florida suggests that more Brazilians will continue to invest in the Miami real estate market, altering the landscape of the local property market and reflecting broader trends in international real estate investments.
