Episode Overview
In this Feb. 27, 2026, episode of the Buy, Sell, Hold Miami™ podcast, Hernandez and Zalewski cut through the local rhetoric, delivering straight talk on five of the biggest topics of critical importance to South Florida investors.
The hosts discuss each topic and then announce whether each of them is a Buy, a Sell or a Hold on the issue. Their verdicts often differ, leading to sharp debate on the issue before moving on to the next topic.
During the 65-minute discussion, Hernandez and Zalewski dissect the Florida Legislature’s maneuvers during the 2026 session that threaten to upend local control and shift the tax burden onto non-homesteaded investors.
The duo provides a granular breakdown of the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) battle, explaining how a bill effectively lowers the “cost” of political influence by reducing the required commission votes for westward expansion.
The conversation pivots to the lifestyle markets of Coconut Grove and the Brickell Avenue Area of Greater Downtown Miami, where the hosts analyze the sustainability of $2,000-per-square-foot pricing and the proliferation of “wellness” branding.
Zalewski provides a reality check on Coconut Grove’s aging condo stock, revealing that 41% of units are now at least 30 years old.
He also questions the logistics of the Freedom Park construction and its missing pedestrian bridge.
From the skepticism surrounding the 2030 completion of the $9 billion Miami International Airport overhaul to the potential for a “white elephant” stadium near active runways, this episode is essential for anyone trying to navigate the shifting South Florida market.
Viewers will see the data-driven tension between Hernandez’s market optimism and Zalewski’s skepticism of current cycles, complete with realtime map analysis of the evolving skyline.
