Episode Overview
In this episode of the Miami Condo Mondays™ podcast on March 2, 2026, co-hosts Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty and Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ explore whether the violent "piercing" of Dubai’s safe-haven reputation via Iranian ballistic missiles will act as a macro-economic defibrillator for South Florida.
The discussion took on a pragmatic tone as Huertas noted that Dubai’s market is facing a new reality, while Zalewski observed that a 48% pricing spread in the Miami Central Business District (CBD) submarket suggests many sellers are holding out for a significant shift in order to reach their target valuations before the seasonal window closes.
The analysis is rooted in the latest research conducted in anticipation of the planned Miami Central Business District Condo Correction Walking Tour™ scheduled for 10 am Saturday, March 7, 2026.
During the 65-minute podcast, Huertas and Zalewski explore how this potential “flight to safety” arrives at a critical juncture as a Severe Buyers Market has officially taken hold in the Miami CBD with 24 months of condo inventory currently sitting unsold on the market.
This level of oversupply is about four times the six-month threshold used by the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™ to define market equilibrium, reflecting a significant disconnect between the “irrational exuberance” of the pandemic era and the current reality of high carry costs, Zalewski said.
The urgency for a global capital pivot is underscored by the fact that Miami International Airport (MIA) recorded a year-over-year drop in foreign passenger traffic for the first time since the 2020 pandemic peak, according to a recent report.
Data reveals that 314,000 fewer passengers moved through MIA compared to the previous year, signaling a potential chilling effect from U.S. immigration policies and rising travel costs that developers typically rely on to fuel the preconstruction sales engine.
Recent missile attacks on Dubai have shattered its reputation as a desert “mirage” of stability untouched by regional chaos, potentially triggering a capital pivot toward Miami real estate as one of the few viable alternatives along with Singapore for parking large-scale wealth.
Cash-strapped condo sellers now have only 60 days left in the South Florida Winter Buying Season to find investors before Summer’s heat, humidity and hurricane warnings cause the market to thin out until the following September.
Adding the challenge for condo sellers is mortgage rates have surged back to 6.12% following the geopolitical escalation between the United States, Israel and Iran.
As the seasonal window begins its countdown to the South Florida Summer Buying Season that begins on May 1, 2026, the episode concludes with a warning that the opportunity for a clean exit is rapidly closing for those who fail to adjust to the new market reality.
Ultimately, the hosts suggest that only an immediate influx of displaced global capital or bold discounting of asking prices can prevent the current inventory glut from triggering deeper stagnation across the South Florida condo skyline.
In anticipation of this, Zalewski released the Miami Condo Correction Walking Tour™ schedule for the final nine weeks of the Winter Buying Season.
