The 2025-26 South Florida Winter Buying Season, the condo market’s high-stakes period running from November through April, has commenced with a major strategic shift from the Miami Condo Investing Club™.
Founder and condo consultant Peter Zalewski announced the Club will move decisively away from lengthy, exhaustive written reports toward a rapid-fire, daily video and podcast format, a change driven by club members who prefer real-time analysis over extensive documentation.
This structural pivot is essential as the Club transitions from the “build” phase of the South Florida Summer Buying Season to the “fasten the seatbelt and hold on” strategy required for the critical winter months.
The new content schedule establishes a commanding presence in the market, with Zalewski dedicating his mornings to data analysis and concept formation, and his afternoons to live broadcasts.
The centerpiece of this new strategy is a slate of five distinct, one-hour podcasts broadcast live every weekday at 4 PM.
Kicking off the week on Mondays is Miami Condo Mondays™, a comprehensive market overview and discussion with partner Jenny Huertas of CVR Realty™, providing a crucial start to the investor week.
Wednesdays feature The Peter Zalewski Show™, where Zalewski conducts in-depth interviews with a revolving roster of South Florida economy and real estate leaders, including lenders, title companies, city planners, and property management experts.
Wrapping up the week on Fridays is Buy, Sell, Hold Miami™ real estate podcast, a dynamic debate with Daniel Hernandez of Compass Real Estate, where the two assess five weekly topics to offer a balanced “ying and a yang” perspective on market concepts.
Two specialized programs round out the weekly content: Thursdays introduce the new podcast Condo Capitalism™, a program dedicated to exploring opportunities in the distress condo market and bulk deals, leveraging Zalewski’s experience from his earlier “condo vulture” days.
Most notably, the Tuesday slot is reserved for a deep dive into statistics and trends, specifically featuring the Miami Condo Cliff Index™, an internal metric tracking the real-world impact of the 2025 condo cliff and Surfside-inspired legislation on older condo associations.
While free subscribers can watch these broadcasts live, paid club members gain immediate, on-demand access to the full video archive, which is approaching one thousand reports since the club’s 2024 launch.
The Club’s value proposition is built on providing a crucial buy-side, investor perspective in a market often dominated by “rosy” sales narratives, offering straight talk and institutional knowledge that cuts through market noise.
Zalewski, drawing on over three decades of experience that began in 1993, highlights the danger of working with professionals who arrived post-Great Recession and lack the “battle scars” to navigate the market’s eventual “elevator down” movements.
This veteran perspective is crucial, especially as the current climate is seeing potential improvement with the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates twice in two months, raising the stakes for correct pricing and building selection.
The Club provides the critical counterweight needed to understand the condo ecosystem, citing average monthly maintenance fees of $1.15 per square foot in Miami-Dade County and $1.02 per square foot in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
In-person instruction remains a vital element of the Club’s offerings, with the hands-on Condo Correction Tours scheduled every Saturday.
These three-hour excursions, which include both walking tours (three times a month) and bus tours (first Saturday of the month), are designed to shift the investor’s focus to analyzing the condo building first—assessing financials, rules, and potential special assessments—before committing to a unit.
