Drawing from conversations with top developers, investors, and operators, Jay shares the patterns, behaviors, and mindset that consistently [...]

5. Does it benefit me to Consider a Condo with a 'Brand Name' as opposed to a non-brand name?

One of the biggest challenges that face the new construction condo market is the construction that leans heavily on brand names. We explore in our articles the value of hospitality brand names against non-hospitality brands and the perceived against ‘true’ economic value to consumers in the resale market! If you consider the hospitality brands such as Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, or St Regis you should consider that historically hospitality brands outperform non-hospitality brands by 134%!

On the other hand, we have studied non-hospitality branded Condos across Miami and have found that historically there has been an upsell on the ‘brands’ name, which once the product hit the resale market did not translate. In short, the unit values dropped against an unsubstantiated product that had no bearing on the true benefit. No amount of slick marketing is going to make up for poor floor plans and mismanaged service. Brand misdirection has happened in the past. It can and will likely happen again!

These two articles might be interesting to read. Although it mentions mostly Miami examples it is accurate for West Palm Beach as well.

10. Do I need to be 'in town' to put down a reservation on a unit?

Actually, new construction or pre-construction Condo purchases are one of the few times where we see buyers NOT always coming into town to buy a unit. Because we have all information online, Zoom Calls can be arranged with developers and you can get very much or identically the same sense of understanding whether you are here or not. We also have an in-house videographer who can go to any project and take drone footage to show views, elevations, and other important visuals of the neighborhood.

11. How much should I expect to put down when buying a new construction Condo in Miami or Fort Lauderdale?

Typically the developers will want a total in escrow of 20% at the Contract. This is followed by another 20% – 30% over the course and by the time the building is completely finished and built. This leaves the rest (50% typically) at closing. The initial deposit received is usually 10% and this is called a ‘Reservation Deposit’.

12. How do I finish my New Construction Condo Unit?

We are also partners with Design Solutions. Design Solutions is the best at finishing new construction condos in South Florida! Please check my podcast interview with the owner: Luciana Fragali.

Is it a good time to buy a new Construction condo in Miami in 2025?

According to both the head of FIU Hollo School, Craig Studnicky from ISG Related (Watch our podcasts with both men) and our own research, Miami has a severe shortage of newer Condo product. The market rose 20% between 2022 and 2023 and the new build prices are now behind many resales. In short, yes. It is an excellent time to buy a new Condo. Perhaps the best time we have seen in 10 years to do so.
