🎙 BETTER DECISIONS PODCAST

The Report That Exposed Miami’s Condo Market

In this episode of Better Decisions, I sit down with Katherine Kallergis of The Real Deal to unpack how my data-driven report on Miami’s underperforming condo buildings became her headline-making article—what popped in the numbers, where the stories matched the stats, and what all of it means for buyers, sellers, and developers.

We get into cumulative days on market, real discounts from original ask, $/SF trends, inventory mix, HOA/insurance/turnover, and why some “underperformers” can still be great buys. Facts over hype, patterns over anecdotes.
