In the Miami metro area, that number has jumped from 2 percent to 4 in the same time. Though new construction has contributed to the doubled million-dollar-property inventory, the increase is mostly owed to
However, not all neighborhoods were affected equally.
According to Trulia, here are the Miami-Dade neighborhoods that saw the largest increase in big-ticket homes. These numbers include estimated property values for all homes in the area and not just recent sales prices.
1. La Gorce Island (Miami Beach)
Million-dollar homes in 2016: 66.5 percent.
Million dollars homes in 2016: 96.1 percent.
Total increase: 29.5 percent
2. Biscayne Island (Venetian Islands)
2012: 25.7 percent
2016: 49.3 percent
Total increase: 23.7 percent
3. Nautilus (Mid-Beach north of West 41st Street and south of La Gorce)
2012: 18.8 percent
2016: 41.2 percent
Total increase: 22.4 percent
4. Belle Isle (Venetian Islands)

Bayshore, southwest Coconut Grove, San Marco Island, northeast Coconut Grove, and Hibiscus Island also all saw increases in million-dollar homes of more than 10 percent.
Keep in mind, these neighborhoods aren't necessarily the ones with the highest percentage of million-dollar homes, just the one that saw the biggest increase in homes worth that much. For example, 93.3 percent of properties on Star Island are worth more than a million. That's the same exact rate as in 2012.
