Episode Overview
In this March 6, 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 57-minute discussion, Hernandez and Zalewski break down the aggressive tactics of Developer Adam Neumann as he enters the El Portal market—a Miami suburb—with a controversial demolition that has the local community on edge.
Neumann is attempting to translate a Silicon Valley venture capital mindset into South Florida bricks and mortar by developing a trailer park site into a massive residential community north of Miami.
The conversation shifts to Miami’s Little River neighborhood where a local developer is leveraging the Florida Live Local Act to entitled more than 4,000 workforce housing units on a cost basis that Zalewski calls a “10-bagger” for any investor.
Cultural shifts take center stage as the hosts mourn the loss of Bar Nancy and LoKal, two neighborhood staples that have succumbed to the relentless march of “bougie” redevelopment and rising overhead.
The closure of these venues serves as a proxy for the broader “Vegas-fication” of Miami where authentic local character is being traded for highend retail and $16 Cuban sandwiches.
The geopolitical lens widens to examine why Dubai is failing the predictability test for the ultra-wealthy and how that instability might trigger a fresh wave of capital flight into the Miami condo market.
Hernandez shares boots-on-the-ground insights from a recent trip to London where the elite are searching for frictionless Plan B destinations as regional tensions in the Middle East escalate.
The episode concludes with a sobering analysis of oil prices hitting $90 and the historical correlation between energy spikes and residential market collapses.
Zalewski warns that $100 oil acts as a fever for the economy and could be the catalyst that finally forces a reckoning for South Florida real estate.

The sudden surge in oil prices toward $100 per barrel serves as the primary catalyst for a potential economic correction and a freeze in the housing market.
