On September 10, 2026, Americas Great Resorts tested what ChatGPT and Google AI Mode tell buyers looking for a new luxury condo in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. On November 4, we repeated the six county-level questions from our September South Florida study. We wanted to see whether a buyer using the same wording about two months later would get the same list of developments to consider.
Three questions asked each platform to recommend projects for a full-time primary residence without naming any developments. The other three named projects and asked the platforms to compare them and provide their official sales websites. We examined which projects made the shortlist, what the answers said about those developments, and where the sales links led.
Appearing on a shortlist is only one part of the buyer’s path. The description can shape how a buyer compares a development with its competitors. The sales link can determine whether the first inquiry reaches the project’s sales team or another organization.
What changed between September and November?
- 0 of 17 complete November shortlists contained the same projects as the corresponding September list.
- 1 of 16 same-day pairs matched. ChatGPT’s second and third Palm Beach County lists contained the same projects in a different order.
- Three projects missed both September county-level lists and every complete November county-level list for their respective counties. They were Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach (551 Bayshore Drive), and St. Regis Bahia Mar. The platforms discussed them when asked by name.
September’s separate market-name questions produced different results. Both platforms recommended Bahia Mar and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach (551 Bayshore Drive), in the Fort Lauderdale answers. Google AI Mode recommended Bentley in its Miami answer. Those prompts used different geography and buyer criteria. The omission finding applies to the county-level questions in this comparison.

Each county table includes every development that made a September or November discovery shortlist. September has one answer per platform. The November fractions show how many complete answers from each platform included the project. Green marks a shortlist appearance and red marks a project that stayed off that shortlist.

Bahia Mar and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach (551 Bayshore Drive), each appeared in 0 of 8 complete Broward County discovery shortlists across September and November. The separate named comparison included both.

South Flagler House and Olara appeared in all six November lists. Alba Palm Beach joined all three Google AI Mode lists after missing its September list. Mr. C went from a Google AI Mode recommendation in September to zero of three in November. Each November ChatGPT list retained four of its September projects.
Bahia Mar: the same question produced different sales destinations
In September’s named Broward comparison, Google AI Mode included a Miami Dream Properties page among the developers’ property portals. In November, its first answer put that same page in the official-sales section. The brokerage page disclaims official developer status in its footer.

The three November Google AI Mode answers paired their sales links with three different descriptions of the hotel.
| November answer | Bahia Mar link in the sales section | Hotel size stated in the answer |
|---|---|---|
| First | Miami Dream Properties project page | 256 rooms |
| Second | Project’s official team page, alongside coverage from Florida YIMBY | 122 keys |
| Third | Project’s official homepage | 200 rooms |
On November 4, the brokerage page showed 256 rooms, and the project homepage and Related Group’s listing showed 200. Florida YIMBY’s October 23, 2026 coverage reported a 122-key hotel. The final hotel size remains unresolved in the public sources reviewed. Bahia Mar project team page · Bahia Mar project homepage · October 23 redevelopment coverage
Both complete automated ChatGPT comparisons gave the project homepage in their sales sections and cited the site’s 200-room figure. The first also noted reporting on a revised 122-key plan.
South Flagler House: consistent discovery, conflicting residence counts
South Flagler House made every November Palm Beach shortlist. In the named comparison, Google AI Mode gave 105 residences in its second answer and 108 in its third.
Related Ross’s April 2024 groundbreaking announcement gave 108, and its corporate property page still lists that number. Related Ross’s June 2025 financing release and September 2026 announcement both give 105, as does the project’s residences page. The newer dated releases agree with the project site. A buyer can still encounter either figure in official materials.

Manual follow-up: Viceroy Brickell’s inquiry link
Viceroy Brickell appeared third in a manual ChatGPT discovery answer after missing all 17 complete automated discovery shortlists. The prompt asked for sources. ChatGPT went further by labeling a brokerage link “Viceroy Residences sales website.” The form names Privé Advisory Group at Bayview International Realty as the contact. The developer has a separate project site. Brokerage inquiry form and footer · Viceroy Brickell developer site
The two other manual answers completed the Broward and Palm Beach comparison questions. The Broward answer linked to Bahia Mar’s project site and used 200 rooms. The Palm Beach answer flagged the two South Flagler House counts. All three manual answers were reviewed separately from the automated results.
Study scope and method
AGR repeated the same six county questions published in September. Three questions asked for up to five projects suitable for a full-time primary residence. The other three named developments and asked for a comparison of project facts and official sales websites.
| Capture or review group | Count |
|---|---|
| September 10 county-level baseline answers | 12 |
| November 4 automated captures | 36 |
| Complete November discovery lists used for shortlist analysis | 17 of 18 |
| Complete November sales sections available for review | 16 of 18 |
| Separate November manual ChatGPT answers | 3 |
September used one recorded answer per question and platform. In November, an automated collector submitted each question individually to ChatGPT and Google AI Mode three times and saved the returned text and links. One saved discovery answer ended after the first recommendation. Two saved comparison answers ended before their sales-link tables were complete. The cause of the cutoffs is undetermined.
AGR compared primary lists by project membership, ignoring display order and normalizing alternate names for the same development. When an answer recommended fewer than five projects, AGR scored the shortlist as returned. The 16 same-day pairs came from comparing every pair of complete November lists for the same question and platform.
The two collections were 55 days apart and used different capture procedures. The relative effects of elapsed time, capture procedure and ordinary answer variability remain unresolved. The study records answers and links. Actual clicks, inquiries, commissions and sales fall outside its scope. AGR retains the captures used in this analysis.
A buyer can ask the same question and see a different set of developments. Even after settling on a project, they can get conflicting facts or be directed to a different sales team. For developers, that makes an AI recommendation an incomplete measure of visibility. What matters is whether buyers can find the project, understand what’s being offered, and reach the team authorized to sell it.
Check the path from recommendation to inquiry
Test the questions buyers ask before they know a development’s name. Then ask about the project directly and verify the facts the answer uses to compare it. Finally, open the sales link and confirm who receives the inquiry. Each check addresses a different point where a development can lose a buyer’s attention or the opportunity to speak with them.
