This dynamic is known as the Florida Condo Association Financial Cliff.With nearly 1,800 condos currently listed for resale in 33160 representing more than 19 months of supply, sellers are sending a clear signal in what the Miami Condo Supply Tracker™ classifies as a Deteriorating Buyers Market.Zalewski makes the case that the window for data-driven buyers willing to do their homework is open.The episode also serves as the latest breadcrumb in the build-out of the Condo Ratings Agency™, which is set to launch in November 2026 to coincide with the start of the 2026-27 Winter Buying Season.The Agency is tracking nearly 13,000 condo associations and about 760,000 units across the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties using state records to evaluate the financial feasibility, stability and viability of individual condo associations.Click play above to watch Zalewski’s analysis, and use the timestamped timeline and the Top 10 Takeaways below to navigate the program on demand.
