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.
 
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!

Steve Ross — yes, the billionaire behind the Miami Dolphins and Related Companies — just bought nearly half of the Miami Open.
 
Let that sink in.
 
In this episode, I break down what this means for South Florida, the future of tennis in the U.S., and why this real estate titan keeps doubling down on Miami. From the courts of Hard Rock Stadium to the boardrooms of Related, this is more than just a sports deal — it’s a strategic play with real estate, tourism, and international branding implications.
 
We’ll explore:
 
Why Ross is acquiring nearly 50% of IMG’s stake in the Miami Open
The backstory of the Miami Open’s relocation from Key Biscayne to Hard Rock Stadium
What this means for Miami’s place on the global tennis stage
How this deal connects with other moves Ross is making in Florida and beyond
What locals, real estate insiders, and tennis fans should be watching next
 
Whether you love tennis, luxury development, or just want to understand how billionaires think, this is one you don’t want to miss.
 
🎾 Oh, and yes, I’ll talk about Nadal. Obviously.

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.
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!

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!

What 1,000 People Told Us About Hiring a Realtor in 2025

Let’s be real: The real estate world is changing faster than your phone’s software updates. And if you think it’s all about price and location, think again.
In this episode, I break down the game-changing insights from the June 2025 1000WATT Original Research Report — a brutally honest survey of buyers and sellers across the country. This isn’t fluffy marketing talk. These are the real, unfiltered thoughts of the people we actually serve.

Why trust is still king — but not the only thing.
The shocking drop in the number of people who’d recommend their last agent.
What Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers all agree on (yes, really).
Why showing up on video might matter more than your open house cookies.

Why Families Are Quietly Moving to Olympia Heights in 2025

Let’s step away from the glitz of Brickell and the bustle of the beach—because this episode takes you somewhere different.
Olympia Heights is one of Miami’s best-kept secrets. Tucked just far enough from the city’s chaos, it offers something a lot of Miami neighborhoods can’t: peace. But don’t confuse quiet with boring.
In this episode, I explore:
The family-friendly vibe that makes this area perfect for first-time buyers and longtime locals
Incredible food spots serving up authentic Cuban, Latin, and home-style favorites
Local gems for daycares, schools, parks, and essentials
Why Olympia Heights is attracting not just families—but also creative professionals, retirees, and remote workers
What sets this area apart from flashier Miami neighborhoods, and why that’s exactly the point
If you’re looking for a place with charm, character, culture, and a slower pace of life—this might be your next move.
Oh—and if you're curious how our team helps everyone from first-time renters to high-profile buyers find their place in Miami, you’ll hear a little about that too. 😉
