Why the Rich Keep Buying: Luxury Real Estate’s Unstoppable Rise in 2025

It’s 2025—and while some markets are sweating over job reports, inflation, and interest rate drama… the luxury real estate world? Still sipping champagne.
 
In this episode, I dive into what’s really happening with high-end properties across the globe. From Beverly Hills to Dubai, London to Brickell, ultra-wealthy buyers are proving that lifestyle, legacy, and long-term wealth still rule the real estate game.
 
I’ll break down:
Why economic uncertainty doesn’t scare luxury buyers
How cash deals and investment leverage are reshaping the high-end market
Why limited inventory is creating premium opportunities
Which global markets are heating up—and which ones are cooling off
And why this matters even if you’re not buying a $12 million villa with a koi pond
 
Whether you're an investor, a real estate agent, or just someone who likes watching mansions tour videos at 1am (hey, no judgment), this episode gives you an inside look at how the luxury market is defying expectations in 2025.
 
🤑 Spoiler alert: rich people aren’t waiting for the Fed to make a move.

This Housing Analyst Just Called Out the Fed—Here’s Why

Buckle up—this one’s juicy.
 
In this episode, we dive into the wild week where FHFA Director Bill Pulte (yes, that Bill Pulte) called for Congress to investigate none other than Fed Chair Jerome Powell. You heard that right. It’s Jobs Week, mortgage rates are flirting with new lows, and the Fed is smack in the middle of it all.
 
Joining the conversation is lead analyst Logan Mohtashami, who breaks down the ADP job numbers, Powell’s testimony, and what the second half of 2025 might hold for mortgage rates, homebuyers, and, honestly, all of us trying to make sense of this economy.
 
We talk about:
Why Bill Pulte is going after Powell—and what he thinks Powell got wrong.
Whether weak labor data could push the Fed toward faster rate cuts.
Why the market might already be pricing in a recession… even if Powell isn’t.
The hidden signals in the jobless claims and job openings data.
Logan’s spicy take on why the Fed is old, slow, and always late to the party (his words, not ours—but we’re not disagreeing).
 
And yes, we’ll laugh through the chaos—because this stuff is too real not to.
 
If you want to understand the current market, housing trends, AND how politics, rates, and economic forecasts are about to collide… this episode is a must.

Florida to Ohio: Where Homes Are Flying and Where They’re Stuck

For years, it was a seller’s world—bidding wars, sight-unseen offers, homes flying off the market in days. But in 2025, things have shifted quietly… and dramatically.
 
In this episode, we break down one of the most surprising trends of the year: the slow but steady power shift toward buyers. With inventory rising (+31.5% YoY) and homes taking longer to sell (hello, Naples at 72 days!), many markets are inching toward a more balanced—or even buyer-friendly—equilibrium.
 
We’ll explore:
Why this isn’t just about more listings, but slower absorption
Which Florida cities are seeing the longest wait times (spoiler: Miami's on the list)
Why Midwestern metros are still lightning fast (looking at you, Springfield and Cincinnati)
How this trend varies wildly across the U.S.—and what it means for YOU whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching Zillow at midnight like the rest of us
 
This is your data-backed reality check on what’s really happening beneath the surface—and why it might be the best time in a while to negotiate hard… or hold firm.

The Condo Market Is Cracking — Here’s What South Florida Won’t Tell You

In this episode of the ALL IN Miami podcast, we dive into what’s really going on with South Florida’s condo market—and let’s just say, it’s complicated.
 
From jaw-dropping price drops in old beachfront towers to $100M+ sales in luxury neighborhoods, this isn’t your average real estate story. We’ll unpack why nearly 90% of the condo inventory is over 30 years old, what the Champlain Towers tragedy changed forever, and why some buildings are now sitting on a Fannie Mae blacklist. Yikes.
 
But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll also look at the brighter side: record-setting ultra-luxury deals, new construction cranes lighting up the skyline, and what smart developers are doing differently in 2025.
 
If you’ve ever wondered why two condos in the same zip code could be worlds apart—or if you’re debating whether to buy, sell, or just wait—it’s all here.
 
So before you shake that Magic 8 Ball again, press play.
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

Are You Spending Too Much on Your Mortgage? Let’s Break It Down

In today’s episode of ALL IN Miami, we’re diving into one of the biggest questions buyers ask—especially first-time buyers or those eyeing a bigger upgrade:
“How much of my income should actually go toward my mortgage?”
We’ve all heard the classic 28/36 rule—28% of your gross monthly income for housing, 36% for all debts. But is that realistic in today’s Miami? With prices up, rates up, and income…well, not exactly keeping pace?
I break down the guidelines, share how they’ve evolved (or gotten ignored entirely), and talk about the difference between can afford and should afford. Plus, I’ll share some real-life buyer stories—like the couple who got pre-approved for $900K but bought for $640K…and now sleep like babies. 😴
We’ll talk:
Gross vs. net income (and why you should care)
Why lender pre-approvals often overestimate affordability
When it’s smart to stretch…and when it’s a recipe for stress
And how I coach clients to balance their dream home with their dream life
So whether you’re renting, buying, or refinancing—this one’s packed with perspective. Let’s talk about mortgage limits without the financial panic attacks.

From Brickell to Fisher Island: Miami’s May Sales You Won’t Believe

In this episode of ALL IN Miami, we’re taking you on a luxury rollercoaster through the top five most expensive homes sold in Miami in May 2025. One sold for $16.2 million… and no, it wasn’t David Beckham’s secret hideout. But it might’ve been his neighbor.
 
From a four-condo-combo penthouse in Brickell (yes, really) to a modern estate hidden in Coconut Grove, we’re breaking down who’s buying, what’s selling, and what these mega-sales say about the current Miami market.
 
Is the ultra-luxury segment still red-hot? Are discounts creeping in? Is that Coconut Grove home really worth $3.4M less than asking? And what does this mean for you if you’re buying or selling?
 
Listen in for exclusive market context, storytelling, and just enough sass to make this episode feel like you’re riding shotgun with us through the streets of Pinecrest, Fisher Island, and beyond.
 
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
 
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
