Why Investors Should Target Miami Beach Condos With Low-Ball Offers

In this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ live podcast, we discuss Miami Beach's buyers market, where disparities between resale prices and rents are creating unique dynamics

Miami Condo Mondays™ is a live podcast hosted by Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ and veteran broker Jenny Huertas of CVRRealty.com providing an in-depth look at the latest residential real estate trends in South Florida.

Recorded weekly in Greater Downtown Miami, the podcast offers a one-hour discussion on various real estate topics, including pre-construction condos, market trends and investment strategies.

The hosts share their expertise, with Zalewski focusing on macro perspectives and Huertas offering micro insights from her on-the-ground experience.

Tune in every Monday at 4 PM (EST) on the social media accounts of Zalewski and Huertas for insights on the latest trends in the South Florida condo market.

DIY with the club

This episode explores the Miami Beach condo market where supply sits at 18 months in the early stages of the 2025 Summer Buying Season that stretches from May through October.

Zalewski and Huertas explore the past, present and future of Miami Beach, which is divided up into the three distinctly different submarkets of South Beach, Middle Beach and North Beach.

During the 80-minute podcast, Zalewski and Huertas delve into Vintage condos that are at least 30 years old, pricing for preconstruction projects and the intricacies of the latest rental trends in the barrier island market of Miami Beach.

Zalewski and Huertas also debate Miami Beach’s mediocre performance in the rankings of the best and worst condo markets - both Overall and Vintage - of South Florida based on the Miami Condo Cliff Index as of May 2025.

The conversation also includes discussions about the impact of the Florida Condo Act, Miami-Dade County’s 40-year recertification process and the “1% Rule” of real estate.
