  Downtown Fort Lauderdale Vintage Condos Priced 63% Below Overall Market

  Aug 11, 20261h 6mS2026

  In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts examine why Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Beach remains mired in a Buyers Market with 10.8 months of resale condo supply sitting on the market. 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 Overview In this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on Aug. 10, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ examine why Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Beach remains stuck in a Buyers Market with 10.8 months of resale condo supply weighing on sellers. The hosts trace the stall to a disappointing FIFA World Cup—which filled Fort Lauderdale hotels with visiting teams and fans during the six-week tournament in Miami between June and July 2026 without translating into condo sales—and to a tightening mortgage landscape after Fannie Mae eliminated limited reviews for condo loan applications. Rather than easing, Huertas and Zalewski said the conditions in the market have only hardened as the 2026 Summer Buying Season of May through October wears on. The Downtown Fort Lauderdale And Beach market is defined as Oakland Park Boulevard south to Marina Mile Boulevard and/or State Road 84, and the Atlantic Ocean west to Interstate 95. During the 66-minute episode, Zalewski drew a sharp line between Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old and Modern condos that are no more than 29 years old. Vintage units are priced 63% below the Overall market on a per-unit basis, yet even that discount has failed to move buyers off the sidelines. Modern condos told the opposite story, with overly optimistic sellers still anchored to pricing from the 2021-2023 buying frenzy despite a market that has since turned decisively toward buyers. Huertas and Zalewski also weighed the rental market as a fallback for sellers, finding little relief there either, with landlords asking top dollar sitting vacant far longer than those willing to price to lease quickly. Huertas and Zalewski closed with different outlooks. Huertas said she would continue watching the market and submitting lowball offers rather than committing capital. Zalewski said sellers should not expect relief soon, pointing to a stretch of slow months ahead including the midterm elections in November 2026 that could keep buyers on the sidelines.

  Boca Raton Condo Cliff Index™ Down 35% At Halfway Mark Of Summer Buying Season

  Aug 10, 20261h 8mS2026

  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 Overview In 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

  Aug 4, 20261h 6mS2026

  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 Overview In 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?

  Jul 28, 20261h 17mS2026

  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 Overview In 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

  Jul 23, 202641 minS2026

  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 Overview In 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.
