JimFried Episode 823

In Episode 823 of Fried on Business, host Jim Fried welcomes back real estate analyst and journalist Peter Zalewski, founder of MiamiCondo.club, to deliver a data-driven breakdown of the Miami condo market in 2025.

With inventory rising and interest rate pressures reshaping buyer behavior, Peter gives a candid and research-backed look into what’s really happening in South Florida’s most dynamic property segment. The conversation explores pricing correction signals, stalled absorption rates, and how developers and brokers are reacting—or not reacting—to shifting conditions.

Peter also examines the psychology of buyers in today’s uncertain climate and challenges some of the “boom” narratives dominating mainstream real estate chatter. His message is clear: The market is at an inflection point, and only those with accurate information and a long-term mindset will make smart moves.

Listeners will learn:

  • Which neighborhoods are oversupplied or overheated
  • Why cash buyers are hesitating despite opportunity
  • The real impact of interest rates on resale inventory
  • Strategic insights for brokers, investors, and buyers

Whether you’re considering a purchase, managing client portfolios, or trying to understand Miami’s evolving condo landscape, this episode offers the clarity you need.
