  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.

  8,100 Vintage Condo Units Concentrated In Sunny Isles Beach In Post-Surfside Era 18.06.2026 45min

  In this episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™, the host analyzes how condos at least 30 years old are reshaping the calculus in Northeast Miami-Dade County on the five-year anniversary of the tragedy.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 June 17, 2026, episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski drills down into ZIP code 33160, which is the single greatest concentration of condos in the tricounty South Florida marketplace.The episode breaks down how many of the nearly 27,700 units across Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura and Eastern Shores are Modern vs. Vintage—at least 30 years old—in the post-Surfside era.Using state records compiled by the Condo Ratings Agency™, Zalewski maps how the Modern vs. Vintage split in 33160 diverges sharply depending on which side of the Intracoastal Waterway a buyer is shopping, and why that distinction matters more today than the old real estate mantra of location, location, location.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.In response, the Florida Legislature adopted several measures that are now forcing cash-strapped unit owners to figure out how to pay for rising maintenance fees, hefty special assessments and pricey insurance premiums. 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.

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts analyze how 9,200 of Middle Beach's nearly 11,750 units are at least 30 years old, five years after the Surfside condo collapse on June 24, 2021.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 15, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ open Season Two's second episode on the night Miami hosts its first-ever FIFA World Cup match.During the 66-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski size up what the World Cup is and is not delivering for South Florida’s hospitality sector.Hotel rates and ticket prices tell a story that hoteliers, short-term rental operators and fans may not have seen coming.The episode then pivots to the core data segment.As part of the build-out of the Condo Ratings Agency™, Zalewski presents a first-of-its-kind breakdown of Miami Beach’s condo stock across three zip codes—South Beach’s 33139, Middle Beach’s 33140 and North Beach’s 33141—covering 930 associations and more than 45,265 units.Middle Beach's Vintage concentration stands well above the other two Miami Beach submarkets, with consequences for owners and buyers that the hosts discuss in detail five years after the Champlain Towers South collapse on June 24, 2021.The finding from the Condo Ratings Agency™ emerges as rising maintenance fees, hefty special assessments and pricey insurance premiums push many Middle Beach owners toward the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff, making condo living cost prohibitive for longtime owners and new buyers alike.As part of the 2026 Summer Buying Season initiative to publish episodes more quickly, the podcast summary has been eliminated, meaning viewers should use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways to navigate the show on demand.

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts discuss whether international soccer fans will buy up some of the 11.5 months of condo supply listed for resale in the tricounty region.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 8, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ mark the one-year anniversary of Miami Condo Mondays™ and open Season Two with a discussion about the May 2026 condo sales data stretching back to the year 2000.South Florida’s headline number out of the May 2026 statistics is 11.5 months of condo supply listed for resale in the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The Miami Condo Supply Tracker™ classifies that reading at the high end of a Buyers Market, moving closer to entering a Deteriorating Buyers Market, which begins at 13 months.With 24,300 condos sitting unsold at an average asking price of $967,000, and sellers demanding a 52% premium above the $636,000 average transaction price from the recently concluded 2025-26 Winter Buying Season, the market is testing the outer boundary of the Buyers Market tier.Sellers are not moving fast enough to avoid it.South Florida’s Overall condo sales posted their first year-over-year gain since 2021 in May but only after sellers cut prices.Vintage condos—units at least 30 years old that represent the dominant share of both the tricounty market's 760,000 units and all transactions—tell a similar story, with sellers showing signs they are closer to capitulation than their Overall market counterparts.The episode covers the wall of headwinds facing sellers for the remainder of the 2026 Summer Buying Season: the FIFA World Cup drawing tourists but not condo shoppers, mortgage rates climbing toward 7%, a new Federal Reserve chairman who may have to raise rates rather than cut them and a coming Fannie Mae policy change in August 2026 that will make condo financing harder to obtain.Huertas and Zalewski also revisit the call she made in Season One—that the market felt like 2007 before the 2008 selloff—and discuss what kind of event it would take to finally break the standoff between stubborn sellers and buyers waiting for price capitulation.They also share a practical rule of thumb for buyers who want to move now without “catching a falling knife.”Season One produced a year’s worth of calls that held up.

  Lauderhill Joins Sunny Isles Beach, South Beach As Top 10 South Florida Condo Market 29.05.2026 43min

  In this episode of Condo Capitalism™, Peter Zalewski discusses a new report that ranks nearly 200 condo market zip codes based on total existing units across South Florida's tricounty region.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 May 28, 2026, episode of the Condo Capitalism™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski breaks down a new report ranking nearly 200 South Florida zip codes by total condo units across the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The top of the list holds few surprises. Sunny Isles Beach's 33160 zip code ranks No. 1 with nearly 28,000 units. South Beach's 33139 zip code is No. 2 with nearly 23,000 units. The Brickell Avenue Area’s 33131 zip code in Greater Downtown Miami checks in at No. 3 with nearly 19,750 units.The No. 10 slot is another matter. Western Broward County's 33313 zip code—covering the Lauderhill-Lauderdale Lakes suburbs—lands in the Top 10 on the strength of nearly 12,000 units. The neighboring Lauderhill-Tamarac zip code of 33319 ranks 12th with more than 11,350 units.Lauderhill's Top 10 ranking is a direct byproduct of Broward County's decades-long condo construction boom in the second half of the 20th century, when developers built heavily into the western suburbs.The rankings are a result of the buildout of a Condo Ratings Agency™, which is a platform designed to grade the financial stability of individual condo associations using government data to provide buyers, sellers, lenders and regulators an objective measure that goes beyond sellside marketing campaigns.To build it, Zalewski started with the Florida Condo Law of 1963. From there, he reconstructed a county-by-county ledger of every active association and unit built since. State records show nearly 13,000 condo associations encompassing about 760,000 units have gone up across South Florida in the past six decades.Of that total, 67% of the units are now classified as Vintage condos based on being at least 30 years old. Vintage condos have been the subject of greater scrutiny in the five years since the Surfside condo collapse in June 2021 when nearly 100 people died and a $1 billion settlement paid out to the families of the victims.Broward County dominated the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Miami-Dade took the regional lead in the 1990s and accelerated sharply in the 2000s, accounting for more than 113,000 of the roughly 195,000 units built that decade across the tricounty area.As part of the 2026 Summer Buying Season, the podcast summary has been eliminated.

  Do Vintage Units Pose Systemic Threat To Prices In South Florida Condo Market? 19.05.2026 46min

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts discuss the repercussions of a new report from the Condo Ratings Agency showing 67% of tricounty units are at least 30 years old.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 May 18, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ discuss a new report from the Condo Ratings Agency™ showing the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach has nearly 509,000 Vintage units that are at least 30 years old.The report is notable as it contradicts the talking points of the sellside brokers who claim—on the eve of the five-year anniversary of the Surfside condo collapse in June 2021—that Vintage condos are a nonissue—rather than a systemic risk—as this segment represents only a sliver of South Florida’s Overall market.In reality, the new report shows that Conventional units built since 1997 account for only 33% of the South Florida condo stock.Vintage condos are a primary driver of rising maintenance fees, hefty special assessments and pricey insurance premiums that have led to surging expenses for condo owners.The rising costs of condo living is prompting an increasing number of unit owners to head for the exits, a trend reflected by the first jump in unit sales in four years during the recently concluded 2025-26 South Florida Winter Buying Season of November through April.To unload their units, cash-strapped owners have cut their prices and accepted lower offers.We predicted this phenomenon back in June 2024 when we coined the term the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff.In January 2025, we called for a 40% price drop in South Florida condo prices driven by the recalibration of the industry and measured against the inflated valuations of the go-go days of 2021-23 when out-of-town buyers flooded into South Florida to work from home and not have to wear a mask during the pandemic.During the 47-minute episode, Huertas and Zalewski review the statistics, examine the charts and provide insightful analysis about what the repercussions could be now that it has been documented that the South Florida condo market is dominated by Vintage units.As part of the 2026 Summer Buying Season initiative to publish episodes more quickly, the podcast summary has been eliminated, meaning viewers should use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways to navigate the show on demand.
