The Report That Exposed Miami’s Condo Market | With The Real Deal’s Katherine Kallergis

🎙 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. ⏱️ Episode Chapters 00:00 — Welcome 00:47 — Intro 02:06 — What Popped in the Data 06:20 — Underperformers ≠ Untouchable: Where the deals emerge 10:45 — The Metrics That Matter 14:40 — Carry Costs in Real Life 18:15 — Buyer confusion & “rules of the game” 21:30 — Patterns Repeat: History “rhymes” in condo cycles 26:10 — Branding, Investor Mix & Rental Saturation 27:35 — Why Negative Stories Travel 33:40 — Neighborhood Reality Checks: Edgewater, lawsuits & defects 37:30 — Flooding & Infrastructure as market forces 40:20 — Houses vs. Condos: Who’s outperforming and why 51:35 — What to Watch Next 58:00 — Final Takeaways 🔗 Related My condo market reports & data tools → LuxLifeMiamiBlog.com (see Reports) The Real Deal article by Katherine Kallergis: therealdeal.com/miami/2025/08/28/are-these-the-underperforming-condo-buildings-in-miami/ 📌 About Katherine Kallergis Katherine is a senior reporter at The Real Deal who has spent years covering South Florida real estate with deep reporting on condos, development, litigation, and policy—from post-collapse HOA realities to market cycles and pricing trends. 📬 Subscribe for more real estate insights, market updates, and smarter investment strategies. 📲 Follow David on Instagram → @thedavidsiddonsgroup 🌐 Explore listings & reports → luxlifemiamiblog.com #MiamiCondos #TheRealDeal #UnderperformingCondos #HOA #Insurance #Edgewater #CoconutGrove #SunnyIsles #RealEstateData #BetterDecisionsPodcast #DavidSiddons #MiamiRealEstate
