Why Ultra-High-Net-Worth Buyers Are Choosing Central Florida Over Greenwich and Palm Beach

For buyers relocating from Greenwich, CT, the Hamptons, Beverly Hills or Palm Beach, Central Florida's over $2 million market offers a proposition that is difficult to argue with: comparable privacy, comparable quality and comparable prestige at 50 to 70% of what those markets now demand. An Isleworth estate on the Butler Chain that would cost $8 to $12 million in Palm Beach costs $3 to $5 million here, with zero Florida state income tax adding $90,000 to $130,000 annually in savings for buyers at those income levels.

Premier Sotheby's International Realty's global network connects Central Florida's ultra-luxury listings to qualified buyers in over 80 countries, ensuring that a property in Isleworth or Winter Park is presented to exactly the audience it deserves.
