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.

Episode Overview
In the March 5, 2026, episode of the Condo Capitalism™ podcast, host Peter Zalewski analyzes the mounting inventory crisis in the Miami Central Business District (CBD) submarket of Greater Downtown Miami as the 2025-26 South Florida Winter Buying Season officially begins its transition into the Summer.
Zalewski details how the Miami CBD submarket—defined as the Gen. Douglas MacArthur Causeway south to the Miami River, and Biscayne Bay west to I-95—has now reached a Severe Buyers Market classification based on 24 months of supply available for purchase, according to the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™.
This latest research was conducted in anticipation of the planned Miami Central Business District Condo Correction Walking Tour™ scheduled for 10 am Saturday, March 7, 2026.
During the 55-minute podcast, Zalewski explores why nearly half of the existing buildings in the Miami CBD have breached the 5% threshold for equilibrium, signaling a transition toward a commodity-style environment where units trade like salty snacks, oil and pork bellies.
The report highlights a growing wave of distress with 17 condos currently listed as Shortsales or Real Estate Owned (REO) properties within the Miami CBD submarket.
Market cracks are just now appearing during the first half of the Winter Buying Season—November through April—as the average price per unit in the Miami CBD has dropped 5.4% and the price per square foot has fallen 3.6% on a Year-over-Year (Y-o-Y) basis, comparing the three-month period of November 2025-January 2026 to November 2024-January 2025.
