Federal Reserve Signals End of Rate-Hiking Cycle as Interest Rates Rise by 0.25%

The Federal Reserve increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, marking its highest level since 2007. Additionally, the Fed plans to continue reducing securities on its balance sheet, indicating ongoing monetary tightening. The Fed has revised its projections for GDP growth, unemployment, and inflation in 2023, with weaker GDP growth, lower unemployment, and higher inflation expected. The federal funds rate is expected to reach its peak at 5.1%, indicating the potential for one more rate hike this year. Despite stubbornly high inflation, the consensus is that the rate-hiking cycle is coming to an end, with the Fed likely to begin cutting rates by the end of the year. Tighter lending conditions and a weakening economy will likely keep capital markets activity subdued, but greater certainty on the interest rate outlook could lead to a recovery in the latter half of 2023.

Here are South Florida’s 10 priciest resi deals of 2022

South Florida’s residential market may have slowed in 2022, but trophy mansions remained a hot commodity. From Larry Ellison to Ken Griffin, billionaires kept on buying in South Florida, setting records for single-family home and condo sales across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

The top 10 deals ranged from a princess’ $45 million sale of her waterfront Palm Beach home to the $173 million trade of a 16-acre compound in Manalapan, a wealthy enclave north of Delray Beach.


Properties in Palm Beach, where inventory remains tight and pricing high, dominated The Real Deal’s ranking, which is based on property records and the Multiple Listing Service. A select few agents also participated in most of the deals, including Lawrence Moens and Christian Angle.

These were the 10 priciest home sales recorded in South Florida this year:

Larry Ellison drops $173M on Manalapan estate

Apollo-linked entity sells oceanfront Palm Beach mansion for $66M

One of the biggest South Florida residential sales of the year closed just under the wire.

In an off-market deal, an entity tied to private equity giant Apollo Global Management sold an oceanfront Palm Beach estate for $66 million — nearly twice what it traded for 18 months ago.


Sunshine Home 5 LLC, a Delaware entity, sold the mansion at 6 Via Los Incas to another Delaware corporation, TT 47th LLC, records show.

Mortgage documents and a construction contract link the selling entity to Frank Marra, managing director of finance at Apollo. Marra signed for a $33.6 million loan on the property from Bank of America in September, according to public records.

New York-based Apollo, which had $523 billion in assets under management as of Sept. 30, was one of many financial firms that expanded in South Florida last year, opening offices in Brickell and West Palm Beach.

The 0.6-acre Via Los Incas estate sold for $35.4 million in June of last year, pro ...
