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).

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.

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.

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.

They do not always agree. The friction is the point.During the 52-minute episode, Hernandez and Zalewski examine five pressure points testing the limits of South Florida's celebrated boom, ranging from a wealthy island community gambling with its own flood future to a billionaire land rush quietly reshaping the region's private school landscape.Along the way, the hosts debate a trio of Greater Downtown Miami stories that raise hard questions about money, litigation and whether the market's newest and most powerful players actually understand the city they are betting on.The first story starts with water and ends with a question about judgment.Key Biscayne—one of Miami’s wealthiest island communities in South Florida where the median home price is about $1.6 million—has just walked away from a study, betting instead on a flood control strategy that neighboring Miami Beach has already tried and publicly abandoned.Next comes a story about schools, or more precisely, about what happens when the people moving to Miami discover that money alone cannot buy a seat at the right lunch table.A cluster of billionaires new to South Florida have started funding their own private schools, unwilling to wait for the existing system to catch up to their ambitions.The third story focuses on Brickell Key where a Vintage condo tower is rumored to be in the crosshairs of a pair of developers with big plans and a large checkbook.The hosts discuss how difficult it is to get a building full of owners to agree on anything, especially selling their units to a development group once a story has been leaked to the press.For the fourth story, Hernandez and Zalewski discuss a new lawsuit filed against the developer of the Aston Martin condo tower, raising questions not about the look of the building but about whether the developer knows what he has gotten himself into with the latest suit.

In this episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™, veteran developer Henry Torres is betting the next opportunity in Miami is not luxury towers or rental projects but moderately priced condo buildings.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 April 29, 2026, episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski interviews veteran developer Henry Torres of the Astor Cos. in Coral Gables about why he is betting that the most overlooked opportunity in Miami real estate right now is moderately priced condos in the Little Havana neighborhood.The conversation focuses on why Torres—who had 85 contracts fall through on the 128-unit Nordica tower on Coral Way in Miami during the Great South Florida Condo Boom and Bust of 2002 to 2011—relied on his development experience to change the focus of a rental project that he is currently constructing into the Havana Enclave condo tower with 179 units at 315 NW 27th Ave.During the 77-minute episode, Torres—who spent 25 years selling seafood to nearly every major cruise line sailing out of South Florida before unloading his company Empire for $88 million in 2001—shared his insights from 24 years of developing condo and rental units about the future of the Miami residential real estate market at this tenuous moment.Torres makes the argument that the rental market in South Florida is overbuilt, the luxury condo market is concentrated between Greater Downtown Miami and the Miami-Dade County barrier island and the working-class buyer in Little Havana has been ignored by every developer chasing a wealthier customer somewhere else.Havana Enclave, he said, is built for that buyer. Studios start in the mid-$300,000s. One-bedrooms open in the low $500,000s. Two-bedrooms start in the low $700,000s. Every unit comes with a full-sized refrigerator, a washer and dryer, a walk-in closet and a space the owner can self park.Torres is asking buyers to put down a 30% deposit, a requirement he connects directly to what he watched happen during the go-go days of the 2000s when buyers with little or nothing invested walked away from signed preconstruction contracts.The 30% deposit, he argued, is not a barrier. It is the difference between a condo projects full of committed owners and a building full of investors who leave the moment the market trends change.The episode also gives Torres the opportunity to assess where the broader Miami condo market stands today compared to the last cycle.Torres is not sounding an alarm, but he is not dismissing the risks either.Construction costs have risen between 40% and 50% since before the pandemic.Institutional money built rental towers across South Florida in 2021, 2022 and 2023 without much concern for short-term returns, and that supply is now putting pressure on rental rates across the region.Torres does not see interest rates falling fast enough to change that equation anytime soon.What Torres does see is a city where billionaires are arriving with capital, and working-class families are spending $100,000 to $150,000 to renovate their Little Havana homes as they have nowhere else to go.
