Messi May Be Carrying More Than Just Miami

After over two years of silence, MLS has finally released its viewership numbers from the Apple TV deal… and well, it’s not quite the victory parade they’re hoping for.
 
In this episode, I dive deep into the 120,000 “unique viewers per match” claim, why that stat might be misleading, and what it really says about the health of soccer’s visibility in the U.S.
 
We break down the lack of industry-standard metrics (Apple doesn’t use Nielsen), Commissioner Don Garber’s vague defense of the data, and the growing suspicion that Inter Miami and Messi may be shouldering the entire league’s broadcast success.
 
The big question: is MLS thriving behind a paywall—or quietly stalling?
 
Oh, and if you’re wondering why USL might be sneaking into the spotlight, we touch on that too.

Zillow’s Forecast Shocker: Where Home Prices Are Really Headed in 2025

Zillow just updated its 12-month home price forecast for over 400 U.S. markets—and let’s just say, it’s not all sunshine and appreciation. In this episode, I break down Zillow’s national outlook for a -2.0% price drop in 2025, the regional winners like Atlantic City and Knoxville, and the big losers (Louisiana, I’m looking at you).
 
We’ll talk about what’s driving the shift—think affordability fatigue, rising active inventory, and mortgage rate limbo—and what it means for buyers, sellers, and investors trying to read the tea leaves.
 
I also get personal about why I think Zillow’s model still struggles with local nuance—and why South Florida, for example, may not be behaving the way their models assume. If you're in real estate, this forecast isn't just data—it’s strategy fuel.

Why Alonzo Mourning’s New Project Could Be a Game-Changer for Seniors

🏀 Alonzo Mourning isn’t just a Miami Heat legend—he’s now making massive plays off the court too.
 
In this episode, we dive into a new $37.4 million senior housing project that just opened on Florida’s Gulf Coast: Astoria on 9th, a 120-unit community aimed at providing affordable housing for older adults in Bradenton .
 
This isn’t just another development—it’s the fourth Bradenton project from Housing Trust Group, but their first dedicated to seniors.
 
And thanks to Mourning’s nonprofit, AM Affordable Housing, it’s loaded with features that go beyond just four walls and a roof:
Units priced between $322 and $1,316/month, significantly below local averages
Eligibility for seniors aged 62+ with low income based on HUD standards
On-site amenities like a clubroom, cyber café, fitness center, dog park, and support services like literacy training, laundry help, and even grocery assistance 
 
It’s a powerful reminder that real legacy isn’t just what you do on the court—it’s what you build after the buzzer.
 
And with Florida’s aging population growing fast, this could be the blueprint for senior housing in the future.

Why Buying New Might Be a Bargain (Except in Connecticut)

In this episode, I dive into a fascinating trend that’s quietly reshaping the housing market in 2025: the shrinking price gap between new and existing homes.
 
Nationwide, new homes are still more expensive—by about 38% on average—but that’s actually down from where it was just five years ago.
 
Back then, the typical premium for a brand-new home was over $100,000. Today? It’s closer to $26,700, and falling fast .
 
But here’s the kicker: In some states, the gap is still wild.
 
Connecticut and Pennsylvania? New homes cost more than DOUBLE their older counterparts—yes, double! In fact, Connecticut buyers are paying over $555,000 more just for that new home smell.
 
Meanwhile, in places like California, it’s actually cheaper to buy new.
 
Yep, new construction there costs 25% less than an existing home. Wild, right?
 
We’ll also unpack:
 
Why buyers need an average of $46,000 more income to afford new builds
How this shift could impact inventory, builder strategies, and buyer demand
What this means for investors and sellers trying to price competitively in 2025
And why affordability is driving more buyers to spec homes over personalization
 
If you’re on the fence about buying new or existing, this episode breaks down the real numbers—and what they don’t tell you.

The Builders Speak: Behind the Scenes of the 2025 Housing Market

We always hear from economists and analysts… but what about the builders actually putting shovels in the ground?
 
In this episode, I break down insights straight from the Q2 2025 earnings calls of three housing giants—PulteGroup, Taylor Morrison, and Meritage Homes—each with billions in annual revenue and a front-row seat to what’s really happening in residential real estate.
 
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Why builders are ramping up incentives—but warning they might not help as much as you think
What they’re saying about gross margins, and why some are holding steady while others tighten
A fascinating shift: buyers are trading personalization for spec homes just to get better pricing
Regional breakdown: Florida is still strong, but markets like Austin, Dallas, and California are seeing real softness
How labor availability, tariffs, and immigration enforcement are playing into their bottom line
 
This isn’t theory—it’s what’s happening on the ground in America’s biggest housing markets, straight from the people building thousands of homes a year.
