Palmetto Bay by the Numbers: What They Don’t Tell You in the Listings

In this episode, we’re diving into the 2025 mid-year real estate data for Palmetto Bay—and let’s just say, it’s a tale of two markets.
🏠 Sales are down 45% since 2021, but prices? They’ve skyrocketed 112% since 2019. What does that even mean for buyers, sellers, and curious neighbors? We break it all down—by price tier.
From million-dollar listings with months of inventory to the surprising surge in $2M–$2.5M home activity (up 100% YoY!), we’re going deep on what’s working, what’s worrying, and what to expect in the months ahead.
Plus:🔹 Why under-$750K homes are heating up🔹 How list-to-sale ratios and price per square foot shifts signal opportunity🔹 And whether that $3M+ property is really moving the needle (spoiler: not so much)
If you're watching this market—or wondering whether to jump in—this one’s a must-listen.

From Sugar Bombs to Zero Guilt: The Truth About “Healthy” Coke in 2025

Let’s be honest—sometimes, you just want an ice-cold Coke with your Five Guys burger and a side of fries that could feed a small country. But here’s the thing: in 2025, health-conscious folks (aka anyone who’s ever Googled “gut health” or owns a blender) are starting to ask: Which Coke is actually the healthiest?
In this episode, I dive deep into a USA Today article that breaks down the differences between Coca-Cola Classic, Diet Coke, and Coke Zero Sugar—with insights from real dietitians, not just random Reddit threads.
We talk sugar overload, artificial sweeteners, caffeine jitters, and the sneaky “natural flavors” no one ever explains. But we don’t just stop at the label—we unpack the science, the controversy, and the surprising verdict from nutritionists about what Coke you should probably reach for next time you’re standing in front of a vending machine having an existential crisis.
Spoiler: There’s no kale-flavored Coke yet. But Coke Zero might not be the villain you thought.
Whether you’re a Cherry Coke lifer, a Diet Coke addict, or someone who thinks LaCroix is a personality trait—this episode is for you.

Is a Fed Rate Cut Coming? What It Means for Mortgage Rates & Miami Real Estate

The Federal Reserve just held rates steady—but the real story? September might be when things finally shift.

We’ll talk:
 
Why mortgage rates could drop before the Fed cuts
How inflation, tariffs, and job numbers are influencing decisions
What top economists and CEOs are predicting for the rest of 2025
