   South Florida Median Condo Prices Down 18% From Summer Buying Season Peak Of 2022

   In this episode of Miami Condo Mondays™, the hosts discuss how unit sales and prices recorded in the first five months of the 2026 Summer Buying Season against a decade of historical market data. Miami Condo Mondays™ features Peter Zalewski (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/about) of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/the-miami-condo-market-intelligence) and veteran broker Jenny Huertas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-huertas-96787913/) of CVRRealty.com (https://www.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™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/podcast) podcast on Oct. 6, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas (https://substack.com/profile/112626374-jenny-huertas-miami-broker) of CVR Realty (https://www.cvrrealty.com/) and Peter Zalewski (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/about)of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/the-miami-condo-market-intelligence) examine the deepening buyer's market across South Florida as the 2026 Summer Buying Season (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/will-2026-summer-buying-season-drag) of May through October enters its final month. The South Florida condo market is defined as all condos located in the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. During the 65-minute episode, the hosts trace the region’s pricing retreat to a combination of tightening Fannie Mae lending standards, the ongoing Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff and a disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/world-cup-fails-to-generate-condo) that drew massive crowds to Hard Rock Stadium without translating into real estate transactions as developers and listing agents had claimed. Zalewski and Huertas detail a stark reality for sellers, noting that active inventory has swelled to nearly 23,400 units. The South Florida Overall condo market currently sits at 10.6 months of supply, placing the region firmly in a Buyers Market, according to the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/miami-condo-supply-tracker-a-new). Zalewski drew a sharp line between Vintage condos—units at least 30 years old—and Modern condos—units up to 29 years old. Vintage condos represent 67% of all active listings and 74% of closed sales, trading at a steep discount with an average closed price of more than $389,500 compared to $1.3 million for Modern units, according to CVRRealty.com (https://www.cvrrealty.com/). Despite their newer construction, Modern units are languishing in a “Deteriorating Buyers Market” with 13.7 months of supply. Putting the current data into historical context, Zalewski analyzed a decade of Summer Buying Seasons from May through September, revealing a market in correction. The 2026 median condo price of $282,500 marks an 18.2% drop from the 2022 peak of $345,500. South Florida Overall sales volume in dollars is also down nearly 38.0% compared to the first five months of the Summer Buying Season of 2022. Huertas and Zalewski also weighed the rental market as a fallback for struggling sellers, finding a widening gap between expectations and reality. Landlords are currently asking a median price of $2,690 per month and sitting vacant for 80 days and counting, while completed leases are transacting at a median of $2,150 after 49 days on the market. Huertas and Zalewski closed with converging outlooks. Huertas called herself a bull for buyers willing to prioritize building financials over unit aesthetics, advising sellers they need a “religious moment” to cut prices aggressively if they want to exit. Zalewski warned that sellers should not expect relief soon, pointing to the macroeconomic pressures of 10-year Treasury yields at 5.3%, rising maintenance fees and the upcoming November 2026 midterm elections at the start of the 2026-27 Winter Buying Season.

   Will Mandatory Repairs, Condo Defects Turn Miami Into Giant Construction Site?

   In this episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™, David Podein of Haber Law discusses how Milestone Inspections and construction defects in new towers will spark endless restoration and costly litigation. The weekly podcast The Peter Zalewski Show™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/podcast) features interviews with South Florida business leaders focused on real estate, finance and the economy. The program - hosted by Peter Zalewski (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/about) of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/the-miami-condo-market-intelligence) - is broadcast live every Wednesday at 4 pm (Miami time) at MiamiCondo.Club (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/) 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 Sept. 16, 2026, episode of The Peter Zalewski Show™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/podcast) podcast, host Peter Zalewski (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/about) interviews David Podein, an equity partner at Miami-based Haber Law, to examine how post-Surfside safety mandates and the wave of defect lawsuits bound to follow the recent surge in new construction threaten to turn South Florida into an uninterrupted, decade-long highrise job site. The pair digs into the brewing structural and financial collision unfolding across two distinct segments of the condo market in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. On one side are the Vintage condo towers—that are at least 30 years old—racing against the clock to meet mandatory Milestone Inspections and reserve requirements, only to discover decades of deferred maintenance that demand costly fixes. On the other side are the new condo towers delivered during the 2021–2023 building boom, where the sheer volume of construction will inevitably trigger an increase in defect claims as association boards race to beat statutory warranty deadlines. During the 64-minute episode, the conversation addresses the looming labor bottleneck, debating how a finite pool of licensed structural engineers and qualified concrete contractors will manage simultaneous restoration projects across thousands of units from Greater Downtown Miami north to Downtown West Palm Beach. The discussion then turns to Florida’s Chapter 558 statutory pre-suit process, exploring how associations in new towers must move aggressively to document developer flaws and file defect claims before statutory warranty clocks run out, while anticipating protracted defense battles with general contractors and their insurance carriers. From there, the conversation tackles the mounting carrying costs facing unit owners, examining how the collision of rising maintenance fees, hefty special assessments and pricey insurance premiums will push cash-strapped owners to head for the exits. Finally, the talk shifts to the macro fallout across the South Florida skyline, questioning whether endless scaffolding, shuttered amenities and relentless construction noise will depress resale values, force struggling associations into terminations or simply reset coastal property valuations for a generation.

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

   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 (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/about) of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/the-miami-condo-market-intelligence) and veteran broker Jenny Huertas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-huertas-96787913/) of CVRRealty.com (https://www.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™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/podcast) podcast on Aug. 31, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas (https://substack.com/profile/112626374-jenny-huertas-miami-broker) of CVR Realty (https://www.cvrrealty.com/) and Peter Zalewski (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/about)of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/the-miami-condo-market-intelligence) 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 (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/will-2026-summer-buying-season-drag) 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 (https://www.cvrrealty.com/). Zalewski pointed out that this $200,000 closing figure perfectly hits the classic 1% Rule of real estate investing (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/one-percent-rule.asp) 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™ (https://peterzalewski.substack.com/p/miami-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.
