Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Aria Delray Beach, which is a interesting project to talk about right off Federal Highway, really close to downtown Delray, prime spot, prime location, has been targeted in a $6.85 million foreclosure lawsuit. What's surprising is is why are they doing that? Because the builder the developer stopped paying the bill. He stopped making payments in August of '25, I believe I saw that somewhere. And why did he stop paying? Because he hasn't been able to sell the units. He's sold one unit. The building is five stories, four ground floor commercial condos, and five residential units above those, right? The foreclosure targets the entire building except for one residential condo that sold for 1.575 million in 2025. So, there's a medical spa that currently operates on the four commercial condos on the first floor.

[00:00:51]This is What they say here is this is this is a pattern across Florida.

[00:00:57]And specifically South Florida, we're seeing this. People defaulting. It's up.

[00:01:01]Short-term loan originated during easy capital years of '22 to '23, maturing in '24 and '25, and then the borrower couldn't refinance to pay. People who originated loans in '21, during the easy years, low rates, are now having to refinance >> Mhm. in '26. Usually these loans are 5-year terms. Not all of them. 5-year terms, some have resets uh to the new rate, which is much higher than what they got back then. So, they got a 4% rate back then, now they're getting a 6% or 6 and 1/2 on the reset.
