Episode Overview

In this episode of Buy, Sell, Hold Miami podcast, Hernandez and Zalewski provide a thorough analysis of the financial and cultural shifts impacting South Florida.

Their conversation - which is prompted by local news stories - examines several key issues affecting the tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach in 2025.

The episode opened with a detailed analysis of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ proposal to eliminate property taxes.

The hosts discussed the fiscal-impact, noting that this policy change presents a significant challenge to local governance and essential funding.

They highlighted the influence of the homestead exemption and warned that shifting tax authority to the state level could diminish local autonomy.

Research suggested the resulting revenue shortfall would require municipalities to use other revenue streams, like sales or tourist surcharges, a shift that could disproportionately squeeze renters and low-income residents already on the brink.

Shifting focus, the podcast reviewed the impact of development and industry change.

The hosts offered a cautious outlook regarding the proposed $29 million upgrade for the historic Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, questioning if this investment is sufficient to restore the landmark’s former prominence against current market trends in Miami Beach.

They also reviewed the sale of Miami’s Olympia Theater and the proposal to transform Flagler Street into a civic hub.

The hosts then addressed the merger between Compass and Anywhere Real Estate, a major consolidation that is expected to reshape the way properties are marketed in South Florida - particularly through the rise of private exclusives and offmarket listings - creating a powerful market entity.

Hernandez and Zalewski wrapped up the episode with a conversation about a new affordability metrics called ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed).

The hosts reviewed data showing financial insecurity for nearly all low- to moderate-income residents, even as luxury sectors thrive.

This situation is a major pressure point for the overall market and directly impacts key market risk metrics.

The segment emphasized the necessity of urgent policy changes - zoning reform and infill development - as required solutions to this housing challenge.
