The Condo Comeback: Why Miami’s 30-Year Rule Matters in 2025

If you think Miami’s condo market is cooling off, think again—at least if your building is under 30 years old. In this episode, Craig Studnicky, one of Miami’s sharpest real estate minds, unpacks what’s really happening in 2025. Spoiler: the story isn’t as simple as “prices up or down.” It’s a tale of two condo markets. Here’s what we cover: Why younger condos (built within the last 30 years) are crushing it, with more sales in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024. The brutal reality facing older buildings, burdened by milestone assessments and safety upgrades after Surfside. How $1–10 million resales are driving momentum while ultra-luxury new builds are slowing down. The rise (and limits) of branded residences—and why buyers care more about lifestyle than logos. Plus, how migration from South America and Europe continues to reshape Miami’s skyline and soul. This is the kind of inside-baseball market talk that separates clickbait headlines from what’s actually going on behind closed doors. Whether you’re an investor, a buyer, or just love Miami real estate drama—this one’s for you.
