  Condo Sellers In Miami's Little Havana Scramble As Buyer Demand Plummets In Summer 15.09.2026 53min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts detail how pending sales tumbled in the Summer Buying Season, dragging down the Little Havana Overall Condo Cliff Index™ by 48%. Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on Aug. 31, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ examine why condo buyers crossing I-95 from Greater Downtown Miami into Little Havana are hitting the brakes as pending sales plunge.Sellers holding out for peak pricing are running into buyer resistance midway through the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October. While deal velocity has cooled across the board, the market has fractured into two distinct markets of Vintage units at least 30 years old and Modern units no more than 29 years old.Miami’s Little Havana territory is defined as all condos situated between Southwest Eighth Street north to Florida State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway) and/or the Miami River, and 37th Avenue east to the Miami River and/or I-95.During the 53-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski drilled down into the widening gap between Vintage and Modern inventory.Vintage condos are currently in a Sellers Market with 4.9 months of supply. In the first eight months of 2026, buyers purchased 34 Vintage condos at an average price of less than $199,545 per unit or $287 per square foot, according to CVRRealty.com.Zalewski pointed out that this $200,000 closing figure perfectly hits the classic 1% Rule of real estate investing when measured against Little Havana’s prevailing $2,000 monthly median rental rate.By contrast, Modern condos are in a Deteriorating Buyers Market saddled with 16.4 months of supply. Sellers of Modern units are asking an average of about $403,470 but actual completed sales averaged less than $292,770 between January and August of 2026. Unsold Modern units have languished on the market for an average of 171 days without a contract.Combined, the Little Havana Overall condo market has 9.3 months of supply, placing it squarely in a Buyers Market.Broader momentum has cooled dramatically. Miami’s Little Havana Overall Condo Cliff Index™ tumbled nearly 48% between April 29, 2026, and Aug. 27, 2026, dropping from 18.75 points down to 9.76 points, pulled down by a 47% drop in pending sales.Conversely, the Little Havana Vintage Condo Cliff Index™ dropped nearly 41% during the same stretch, sliding from 22.58 points to 13.33 points.External pressures continue to mount. Zalewski noted that 30-year fixed mortgage rates have climbed past 7%—up sharply from 5.99% immediately prior to the war with Iran—while inflation pushes daily costs higher, from $4 per gallon gas to pricey $35 lunches in South Florida. Huertas observed that buyers are increasingly floating creative financing terms, including seller financing and adjustable-rate mortgages, to cope with borrowing hurdles.The hosts also checked the rental market to see if sidelined sellers could find a profitable fallback, but the statistics show little room to maneuver.

  Aventura Condo Market Heats Up As Sellers Concede To Deep Price Cuts In South Florida 01.09.2026 1h 15min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts detail how falling listings and rising pending sales stem from buyers driving average contract prices down 19% for Vintage units and 12% Overall.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on Aug. 31, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ examine why Aventura condo listings on the mainland in Northeast Miami-Dade County are dropping while pending sales tick up. Cash-strapped sellers are finally conceding and accepting deep price cuts to exit at the halfway point of the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October.The hosts weigh this shift in momentum in the Aventura condo market against a broader Deteriorating Buyers Market, according to the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™. A much-hyped FIFA World Cup brought 450,000 fans to nearby Hard Rock Stadium this Summer Buying Season without generating actual unit sales. Now Vintage buildings are feeling the squeeze of hefty special assessments resulting from repairs identified during mandatory inspections instituted in the post-Surfside era.Zalewski said conditions will likely get worse with mortgage rates hovering around 6.87% on Aug. 31, 2026. That is a steep climb from the 5.99% rate on Feb. 27, 2026, immediately before the Iran War began.Add to that a nervous Wall Street bracing for a possible Federal Reserve rate hike as early as September 2026 to fight stubbornly high inflation. New Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh signaled exactly that at the recent 2026 Jackson Hole Economic Symposium in Wyoming. The Aventura market is defined as the mainland community in Northeast Miami-Dade County stretching from Northeast 163rd Street north to the Broward County line, and Biscayne Boulevard east to the Intracoastal Waterway. During the 75-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski drill down into the state of the Aventura market based on the age of units.Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old have 14.5 months of resale supply sitting on the market. Modern condos that are up to 29 years old are saddled with 18.1 months of supply, according to the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™.The two sectors—Vintage and Modern—together make up the Overall market. That combined market holds 15.5 months of supply to also qualify as a Deteriorating Buyers Market.The Florida Legislature mandated strict inspections after the Surfside condo collapse on June 24, 2021. Yet Vintage condos have emerged as the smart play for today’s buyers thanks to prime locations, larger floor plans and the ability to park your own car.Zalewski said Vintage condos also significantly benefit from a massive discount. They are priced 33% cheaper than the Overall market and about 59% lower than Modern units. Vintage units carry an average asking price of less than $459,000. Modern condos are listed for sale at an average price of more than $1.1 million.The Aventura Overall market commands an average asking price of nearly $682,000. Huertas pointed out that reality is forcing sellers to concede to price cuts.

  Sunny Isles Beach Vintage Condos Listed At 77% Discount To Overall Market 26.08.2026 1h 11min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts examine the Deteriorating Buyers Market gripping the barrier island in Northeast Miami-Dade County at the midway point of the Summer Buying Season.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on Aug. 24, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ examine why Vintage condo listings in Sunny Isles Beach are priced 77% below the Overall market at the halfway point of the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October.The hosts evaluate the Vintage unit discount against a broader Deteriorating Buyers Market, driven by a disappointing FIFA World Cup that filled South Florida with visitors this Summer Buying Season without translating into unit sales, and Fannie Mae's decision to eliminate limited review underwriting for condo loans on Aug. 3, 2026.Zalewski said the conditions are likely to deteriorate further with mortgage rates hovering around 6.75% today compared to 5.99% on Feb. 27, 2026, before the Iran War.Added to that, Wall Street is bracing for a possible Federal Reserve rate hike as early as September 2026 to fend off inflation.The Sunny Isles Beach market is defined as the barrier island community in northeast Miami-Dade County stretching from Haulover Park north to Golden Beach, and the Atlantic Ocean west to the Intracoastal Waterway.During the 72-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski drilled down into the the state of Sunny Isles Beach market based on the age of the units.Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old have 14.1 months of resale supply sitting on the market. Modern condos that are up to 29 years old are saddled with 21.6 months of supply.The two sectors—Vintage and Modern—together comprise the Overall market, which has 17.5 months of supply to qualify as a Deteriorating Buyers Market, according to the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™.Despite mandatory inspections instituted by the Florida Legislature after the Surfside condo collapse on June 24, 2021, Vintage condos have emerged as the most popular option for today’s buyers thanks to more square footage, better locations and self-parking.Zalewski said Vintage condos also greatly benefit from being priced 77% cheaper than the Overall market and 85% lower than Modern units.Vintage units have an average asking price of about $440,000 compared to Modern condos that are listed for sale for an average price of more than $3 million.The Sunny Isles Beach Overall market has an average asking price of nearly $1.9 million.Huertas said it is no surprise that the Vintage sector—which is in a Deteriorating Buyers Market—has the smallest amount of supply available for resale given the pricing.Conversely, the premium-priced Modern units are stuck in a Severe Buyers Market based on 21.6 months of supply available for purchase.Huertas and Zalewski also weighed the rental market as a fallback for sellers, finding little relief there either, with landlords asking a median monthly rent of $5,300 compared to the $2,950 that leases were completed at in the first half of 2026, according to CVRRealty.com.

  Downtown Fort Lauderdale Vintage Condos Priced 63% Below Overall Market 11.08.2026 1h 5min

  Boca Raton Condo Cliff Index™ Down 35% At Halfway Mark Of Summer Buying Season 10.08.2026 1h 7min

  In this episode of Condo Capitalism™, Peter Zalewski Peter Zalewski analyzes the Boca Raton condo market where pending sales have fallen 44% and listings have dropped 15% between May and July 2026.Condo Capitalism™ is a weekly podcast hosted by Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ that provides data-driven analysis on distressed real estate—foreclosures, shortsales and bank-owned REOs—in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The program tracks the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff, where rising maintenance fees, special assessments and insurance costs are squeezing cash-strapped owners.On the show, experts analyze how the national “two-sided risk”—rising inflation and falling employment—magnifies these local pressures, potentially forcing a capitulation by owners who can no longer afford condo living.Join Peter Zalewski at MiamiCondo.Club for a livestream every weekday at 4 pm (Miami time). On-demand recordings of all shows are available here.Episode OverviewIn the Aug. 6, 2026, episode of the Condo Capitalism™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski examines whether the Downtown Boca Raton And Beach condo market—long overshadowed by the troubles facing the bigger markets in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach—is beginning to show signs of unraveling.In the first three months of the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October, the Boca Raton Condo Cliff Index™ has fallen by nearly 35% Overall and 30% for Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old.The Boca Raton Indices have both tumbled as a result of pending sales plummeting 44% in the Overall market and 42% in the Vintage sector between April 29, 2026, and July 30, 2026.Simultaneously, the Downtown Boca Raton And Beach condo listings are down about 15% Overall and more than 17% for Vintage units during the same three-month period.The Boca Raton analysis comes ahead of the August 2026 Monthly Meeting of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026.Boca Raton has largely escaped scrutiny this year as it is a smaller market overshadowed by the recalibration underway in its larger neighbors to the south, including the Greater Downtown Miami, Miami Beach and Downtown Fort Lauderdale And Beach markets.The episode opens with the story of Addison Mizner, whose vision for Boca Raton helped define South Florida’s look of the 1920s land boom with a focus on Mediterranean Revival architecture featuring red clay barrel-tiles, stucco walls and open courtyards.Unfortunately for Mizner, his firm—like many development companies of the era—ultimately collapsed after the Great Miami Hurricane made landfall between today’s Greater Downtown Miami and South Miami on Sept. 18, 1926.The episode also examines the current disconnect between condo prices and rental rates in Downtown Boca Raton And Beach.Asking rents in Boca Raton have separated far enough from rents actually collected that the 1% Rule of real estate investing—a metric private lenders and investors use to value a property—increasingly points to condo sellers asking more than the market can support.As a result, buyers are sitting on the sidelines waiting out sellers. The average number of Days on Market for a Boca Raton condo is now 124 days for the Overall units and 114 days for Vintage units.During the 68-minute episode, Zalewski also focuses on the marketing disconnect in Boca Raton, which brands itself as an upscale, modern community, yet 76% of the condos listed for resale are Vintage units.Besides representing the bulk of the condo resale market in Boca Raton, the Vintage units are not good for sellers seeking premium prices.Vintage condos traded at a steep 42% discount to the broader Overall condo market in the first six months of 2026 in Boca Raton, according to data from CVRRealty.com.

  Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island Experiences Rare Sellers Market For Condos 05.08.2026 1h 5min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts explore the Mar-a-Lago effect as buyers flock to Downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island seeking proximity to the nation's power structure.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on Aug. 4, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ examine why Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island stands alone as a Sellers Market for condos while every other major market in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties remains a Buyers Market.The hosts credit the divergence to what Zalewski first identified in February 2026 as the "Mar-a-Lago effect," the pull exerted by President Donald Trump's near-weekly visits to his Palm Beach Island estate, located across the Marjorie Merriweather Post Memorial Causeway from Downtown West Palm Beach. During the 66-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski identify two additional forces driving condo sales in the Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island market, a planned Vanderbilt University campus in Downtown West Palm Beach and an active push by New York Developer Stephen Ross—who owns the Miami Dolphins football team—to reinforce the corridor as "Wall Street South."The election of Zohran Mamdani—a self-described Democratic Socialist—to Mayor of New York City has reportedly only bolstered interest in South Florida and especially the Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island market. Pundits are referring to the New York-to-South Florida relocations as the “Mamdani Migration.”The Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island market is defined as Southern Boulevard (including a portion of the road known as President Donald J. Trump Boulevard) north to Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard (on the mainland) and/or Dunbar Road (on the barrier island), and the Atlantic Ocean west to I-95.Huertas frames the underlying dynamic bluntly, arguing that money and power tend to gather in the same place, and that a limited supply of land on Palm Beach Island only sharpens the effect.The hosts provide examples of the trend with the latest statistics, pointing to months of supply well under equilibrium and a wide gap between asking prices and closed sales prices.Zalewski also flagged an unusual reversal in which Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old are commanding higher sale prices than Modern units that are no older than 29 years, along with a rental market where landlords asking top dollar are waiting far longer than those who price their units to lease.Huertas and Zalewski close divided on where the Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island market heads next. Huertas said she would wait until after the midterm elections in November 2026 before committing capital, wary that a shift in the nation’s power structure could unwind the very dynamic driving demand. Zalewski countered that he remains skeptical of buyers paying such steep premiums for condo units in the Downtown West Palm Beach - Palm Beach Island market regardless of the electoral outcome in Washington.

  Does Miami’s No. 44 Global 'Liveability' Ranking Justify Premium Condo Prices? 28.07.2026 1h 16min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts analyze the "2026 Global Liveability Index" of 173 cities, debating whether South Florida’s ranking captures market reality or hides weaknesses.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on July 27, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ evaluate whether South Florida’s real estate market can continue to command premium prices in light of global quality-of-life rankings.The hosts examine the “2026 Global Liveability Index” report from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) that assesses 173 cities worldwide based on the five core categories of stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.While South Florida real estate marketers pitch the region as a world-class destination, the numbers collected by the EIU report outline a far more modest standing.Globally, Denmark’s Copenhagen claimed the top spot with an overall score of 98.0 out of 100, while Miami came in at 44th place worldwide, holding the exact same rank as in 2025.Domestically, Miami ranked eighth among U.S. metropolitan areas with an overall “Liveability” score of 90.4.Miami finished behind top-ranked Honolulu at 93.2, Atlanta (No. 2) at 92.3, Pittsburgh (No. 3) at 92.1, Seattle (No. 4) at 91.8, Washington, D.C. (No. 5) at 91.2, Chicago (No. 6) at 91.1 and Boston (No. 7) at 90.5.Miami, however, outranked San Francisco (No. 9) at 90.3, Minneapolis (No. 10) at 90.2, Los Angeles (No. 11) at 87.6 and New York City (No. 12) at 87.0.During the 77-minute episode, the hosts trace Miami’s performance by the specific subcategories and discuss the EIU results.On Stability, Miami logged an 85.0 score, matching Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, yet trailing Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Minneapolis at 90.0.Miami recorded standard U.S. baseline scores of 91.7 for health care and 100 for education.In culture and environment, Miami posted an 88.9 score, beating Los Angeles and New York City at 87.5, but falling short of Seattle at 96.5, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco at 94.4 and Atlanta, Chicago and Boston at 91.7.On infrastructure, Miami achieved a score of 92.9, matching Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis and Los Angeles but lagging Honolulu, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Washington D.C., Boston and New York City at 96.4.Huertas notes the study contains a critical methodology blind spot for local buyers and renters because the Index excludes housing affordability, tailoring data toward corporate expatriates who typically receive relocation subsidies.The hosts tie civic fundamentals directly to macro headwinds, noting geopolitical conflict in the Middle East disrupting competing hubs like Dubai, while 10-Year Treasury yields near 4.65% push 30-year fixed mortgage rates toward 7.6%.Huertas and Zalewski close the episode divided on the South Florida market’s outlook, with Huertas bullish on Miami’s long-term international trajectory and Zalewski bearish on buyers paying premium prices for eighth-place domestic fundamentals.

  World Cup Fails To Generate Condo Sales Bump Despite Miami Hosting 7 Matches In 6 Weeks 23.07.2026 40min

  In this episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™, the host examines how developers and sellside agents who bet on a World Cup buyer wave instead watched pending sales and asking prices fall.The weekly podcast The Peter Zalewski Show™ features interviews with South Florida business leaders focused on real estate, finance and the economy.The program - hosted by Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ - is broadcast live every Wednesday at 4 pm (Miami time) at MiamiCondo.Club and on Peter Zalewski’s social media accounts to watch the free live broadcasts.The objective of the show is to deliver straight talk, share institutional knowledge and provide data-driven analysis on the macro and micro economic forces shaping the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.Episode OverviewIn the July 22, 2026, episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski puts a number on the promises made ahead of the FIFA World Cup that started on June 11, 2026.Coming into Miami’s World Cup involvement with seven matches and nearly 450,000 attendees passing through South Florida during the six-week tournament, developers and sellside agents pushed a narrative that the matches would generate a flurry of new condo buyers rushing into the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach to sign a deal.The tournament wrapped up in Miami on July 18, 2026, with the third-place match between England and France. The World Cup ended the following day on July 19, 2026, when Spain beat Argentina in New Jersey.Zalewski's verdict on Miami's World Cup tournament for new condo sales was a zero.Based on state and listing data compiled in the South Florida Condo Cliff Index™, Zalewski tracks the resale market in the tricounty region on a Week-over-Week basis from June 9, 2026, through July 21, 2026, the six-week span bracketing Miami’s World Cup matches.Active listings did not climb on a flood of new buyers but actually fell 3.3%, a net loss of 808 units. Pending sales did not climb either, falling 4.7% for a net loss of 104 contracts.Vintage units that are at least 30 years old—and make up 68% of the tricounty condo stock—told the same story, down nearly 3.2% in listings and about 4.3% in pending sales.As for the pricing, buyers who did step forward drove pending sales prices down by nearly 1.7% Overall and about 3.8% on Vintage units, even as sellers moved the goalposts in opposite directions, nudging the Overall asking price up nearly 0.8% while the Vintage asking price slipped more than 1.8%.Zalewski reads the split as Overall sellers still betting on a rescue the pending sales numbers already seemed to veto.It is not to say buyers who came to South Florida for the World Cup could not come back but the immediate results show the tournament was probably more of a distraction than a buying opportunity, Zalewski said.The episode arrives as sellers already squeezed by rising maintenance fees, hefty special assessments and pricey insurance premiums under the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff now face a new deadline.Fannie Mae is set to eliminate its Limited Review for condo mortgage applications in August 2026, a change Zalewski argues will make financing slower, harder and more expensive just as the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October enters its final stretch.Zalewski makes the case that six weeks of global attention bought South Florida condo sellers nothing, and that anyone still waiting on a World Cup rescue is running out of runway before the 2026-27 Winter Buying Season of November through April resets the calculus.The episode also serves as the latest breadcrumb in the build-out of the Condo Ratings Agency™, which is set to launch in November 2026 to coincide with the start of the 2026-27 Winter Buying Season.The Agency is tracking nearly 13,000 condo associations and about 760,000 units across the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

  Landlords Scramble As South Florida Rents Drop To Lowest Levels In 5 Years 23.07.2026 57min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts discuss why the median monthly rental rate in the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach has fallen 20% since 2022.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on July 20, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ document the erosion of landlord pricing power across South Florida in the last five years.The hosts contend that rents have entered a correction that mirrors the broader softening already underway in condo resale pricing in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The numbers pulled by CVRRealty.com reinforce the claim.The median monthly rental rate across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties settled at $2,200 during the first half of 2026 from January through June, down from $2,750 during the same six-month period in 2022 but up $400 from the $1,800 median rent recorded in 2021, when Florida lifted its mask mandate and remote work fueled a wave of newcomers into the region.On a price per square foot basis, the tricounty median monthly rental rate fell to $2.26 during the first half of 2026 from $2.82 in 2022.During the 58-minute episode, the hosts trace the decline to a surge of corporate-owned rental towers undercutting individual condo owners with concessions unavailable to private landlords, including two months of free rent and security deposits as low as $500 in place of the traditional three months due at signing.Despite South Florida’s current 3.8 months of rental supply qualifying as a Landlords Market, the bid-ask spread between asking and achieved rents tells a different story.Miami-Dade County rental listings are striving for $2,930 monthly on a median basis yet achieve $2,500, a spread of 17.2%.Broward County landlords are asking $2,300 and achieving $2,000, a spread of 15%.Landlords in Palm Beach County are asking $2,650 but realizing only $2,200, a spread of nearly 21% for the widest of all in the three counties.Zalewski notes the spread should run closer to 20% in a market where landlords hold genuine leverage, meaning Broward and Miami-Dade owners are conceding ground faster than the headline supply figures suggest.Huertas shared a story about a recent negotiation from her own desk, where a prospective tenant countered a $3,300 listing with an offer of $2,600, illustrating how far renters are now willing to push.The hosts tie the rent decline directly to valuations through the “1% Rule” of real estate investing, the screening tool used by private lenders to size a property against its monthly income.They close the episode divided on the market’s outlook, with Zalewski bearish on landlords and Huertas bullish on tenants heading into the back half of 2026.Click play above to watch the analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.

  Broward County Reigns As Top Condo Market For South Florida Investors 15.07.2026 1h 1min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts examine why Broward County condos are listed for resale at a 52% discount off of the South Florida Overall average asking price of $947,900 per unit.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on July 13, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ put Broward County in the spotlight, arguing the market is the best opportunity in the tricounty South Florida region for condo investors chasing a discount.The numbers pulled by CVRRealty.com reinforce the claim.Broward County carries an Overall average asking price of less than $453,000 per unit compared to the South Florida Overall average of nearly $947,900.During the 61-minute episode, the hosts trace the gap to the county largely being built out during the 1970s and 1980s, decades before Miami-Dade County absorbed the bulk of new condo construction in the 21st Century.Veteran broker Huertas walks viewers through what the stock of Broward County condos look like on the ground: shorter buildings, fewer units, self-parking, cement balconies and asking prices of $325 per square foot compared to transaction prices of $261 per square foot for the Overall market in the first half of 2026 between January and June.The discount runs deeper in the Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old and now subject to Milestone Inspections mandated after the Champlain Towers South collapse on June 24, 2021.Vintage condo listings in Broward County have an average asking price of more than $261,425—or $246 per square foot—compared to transaction prices of about $240,000—or $216 per square foot—for a bid-ask spread of less than 9%.For comparison, Broward County’s Overall condo pricing has a bid-ask spread of more than 30%.Zalewski attributes the pricing disparity to sellers pricing their units at arbitrary numbers to meet their unwarranted expectations rather than current market value.In an on-the-spot analysis conducted during the episode, Huertas runs the numbers on her own team’s listings, where several units meet the “1% Rule” screening tool that measures whether monthly rent generates adequate revenue to justify a unit’s value.The hosts close the episode by outlining the headwinds facing Broward County sellers, pointing to 11.1 months of condo resale supply—which qualifies as a Buyers Market—in Broward County, a 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.75% and the looming elimination of the limited review by Fannie Mae in August 2026.Click play above to watch the analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.

  Has World Cup Hype Converted Into Miami Condo Sales? 13.07.2026 1h 12min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts examine a South Florida condo market where listings have fallen to less than 23,625 units, yet the region still has nearly 11 months of supply.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on July 6, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ test whether Miami’s run as a FIFA World Cup host city has translated into condo sales activity during the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October.Developers spent the early weeks of the tournament stocking sales centers with match-day raffles and hospitality events, betting that fans flooding into town for group-stage and knockout matches would extend their visits into condo shopping trips.Huertas—a veteran broker with 20 years of experience—reports a different reality from the trenches.Locals already active in the market, not visiting fans, are the ones placing offers, and the overall pace looks like an ordinary Summer Buying Season rather than a tournament-driven surge.During the 73-minute episode, Zalewski walks through the South Florida numbers behind that read. Active listings in the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach have fallen to less than 23,625 units from a level closer to 26,000 just months earlier, yet the region still carries nearly 11 months of supply, a level the hosts classify as an elevated Buyers Market.The hosts also revisit the chaotic evacuation of the FIFA World Cup Fan Fest at Bayside Marketplace in Greater Downtown Miami during a lightning warning, a scene Huertas witnessed firsthand amid the Mexico vs. England match, as an example of how the World Cup consumed attention that developers had hoped would flow toward condo showrooms.The episode also previews the Summer Buying Season backdrop taking shape headed into August, when the elimination of the Fannie Mae limited review for condo mortgage applications is expected to compound an already soft market.Click play above to watch the analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.

  Will South Florida's SIRS Generation Towers Command Premium Condo Prices? 30.06.2026 1h 1min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts debate the massive pricing spread opening up along the chronological line between Before Surfside and After Surfside era units.Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com in a weekly deep dive into South Florida condo real estate.Recorded in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast delivers an hour of high-level analysis on preconstruction condos, market trends and investment strategies for the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The show leverages more than 60 years of combined institutional knowledge as Zalewski provides the macro perspective and Huertas offers on-the-ground micro insights from her daily experience in the trenches.The show streams live every Monday at 4 pm on the social media accounts of both hosts to provide an authoritative look at the latest shifts in the condo market.Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on June 29, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ analyze the dawn of the SIRS (Structural Integrity Reserve Study) Generation of new developments.This new era of construction is mandated by post-Surfside state laws requiring strict inspections, fully funded capital reserves and association transparency.Following the five-year anniversary of the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside—where nearly 100 people died and a $1 billion settlement was paid out to the families of the victims—the market has officially bifurcated into two distinct periods: Before Surfside (1963 to June 24, 2026) and After Surfside (June 25, 2026 and beyond).As developers roll out the first projects conceived for this new era—highlighted with the June 26, 2026, announcement of a 70-story Breitling tower in Miami’s Brickell Avenue Area submarket just two days after the five-year anniversary of the Surfside tragedy on June 24, 2021—a massive valuation chasm is opening.Units in Vintage condo towers that are at least 30 years old have asking prices that are discounted by 40% off the broader Overall market average price.During the 61-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski evaluate whether preconstruction units will thereby command a 40% premium over that same Overall market, potentially creating a staggering 80-percentage-point price spread from the bottom of the ledger to the top.With safety mandates now serving as the baseline legal standard for all new projects across the board, the hosts analyze whether these new towers can actually command their premium pricing.The discussion targets the competitive, voluntary development upgrades buyers will expect when paying top dollar, including redundant elevator access, 24/7 on-site chief building engineers, proactive water-leak detection systems and an increased number of dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.The episode also serves as the latest breadcrumb in the build-out of the Condo Ratings Agency™, a proprietary analytical platform set to launch in November 2026 to track and evaluate the financial feasibility and structural stability of nearly 13,000 condo associations across the tricounty region.Click play above to watch the analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.

  5 Years Later, 3,700 Vintage Condos Dot Skyline Of Bal Harbour, Surfside, Bay Harbor Islands 19.06.2026 46min

  In this episode of Condo Capitalism™, Peter Zalewski reflects on the state of the barrier island condo market as South Florida marks the Champlain Towers South collapse on June 24, 2021.Condo Capitalism™ is a weekly podcast hosted by Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ that provides data-driven analysis on distressed real estate—foreclosures, shortsales and bank-owned REOs—in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The program tracks the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff, where rising maintenance fees, special assessments and insurance costs are squeezing cash-strapped owners.On the show, experts analyze how the national “two-sided risk”—rising inflation and falling employment—magnifies these local pressures, potentially forcing a capitulation by owners who can no longer afford condo living.Join Peter Zalewski at MiamiCondo.Club for a livestream every weekday at 4 pm (Miami time). On-demand recordings of all shows are available here.Episode OverviewIn the June 18, 2026, episode of the Condo Capitalism™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski drills down into ZIP code 33154—covering Bal Harbour, Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands—to examine the Modern vs. Vintage condo split on the barrier island of Miami-Dade County.The episode arrives on the eve of the five-year anniversary of the Surfside tragedy on June 24, 2021, when nearly 100 people died and a $1 billion settlement was paid to the families of the victims.Vintage condos—defined as at least 30 years old—are at the center of the post-Surfside scrutiny.Using state records compiled by the Condo Ratings Agency™, Zalewski determined that the nearly 7,400 condo units located in 138 associations in 33154 are split almost evenly between Modern units at 50.1% and Vintage units at 49.9%.The Florida Legislature's post-Surfside reforms are now forcing cash-strapped unit owners to contend with rising maintenance fees, hefty special assessments and pricey insurance premiums, a dynamic known as the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff.The pressure is showing up in the Overall resale market where nearly 390 condos are listed in 33154 at an average asking price of $3.6 million with more than 15 months of supply. The Miami Condo Supply Tracker™ classifies this level of supply as a Deteriorating Buyers Market.Nearly 160 Vintage condos are listed at an average asking price of $1.2 million per unit with about 10 months of supply for a Buyers Market.Zalewski applies the 1% Rule of real estate investing to the ZIP code’s rental market to assess whether asking prices for both Overall and Vintage condos can be justified by underlying fundamentals, and makes the case that the window for data-driven buyers willing to do their homework is open.The Condo Ratings Agency™ is designed to give those buyers the tools to act on that window when it launches in November 2026 to coincide with the start of the 2026-27 Winter Buying Season.The Agency is tracking nearly 13,000 condo associations and about 760,000 units across the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties using state records to evaluate the financial feasibility, stability and viability of individual condo associations.Click play above to watch Zalewski’s analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.

This dynamic is known as the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff.With nearly 1,800 condos currently listed for resale in 33160 representing more than 19 months of supply, sellers are sending a clear signal in what the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™ classifies as a Deteriorating Buyers Market.Zalewski makes the case that the window for data-driven buyers willing to do their homework is open.The episode also serves as the latest breadcrumb in the build-out of the Condo Ratings Agency™, which is set to launch in November 2026 to coincide with the start of the 2026-27 Winter Buying Season.The Agency is tracking nearly 13,000 condo associations and about 760,000 units across the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties using state records to evaluate the financial feasibility, stability and viability of individual condo associations.Click play above to watch Zalewski’s analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.
