Coral Gables Real Estate

In the month of January there were a total of 19 single family home sales in Coral Gables, none of which were waterfront and golf view properties. December sales were nearly double even considering the holidays.  However, the average sales per square foot was $283, which is less than the $315 per sq. ft average from December.

  Coral Gables Historical Resources Department has proposed for a historic district to be added to as many as 60 homes on Coral Way. If passed, residents to homes between Alhambra Circle and Anderson Road will have a new level of review to go through before updating their home. Many of the homes in this proposed area are among Coral Gables oldest, having been built in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Many of the residents who were asked seem to agree with the new changes, as they feel it keeps the area looking nice and home values high. Modifications that require […]

This Sunday is the annual championship game of the NFL: the Super Bowl! Many consider Super Bowl a de facto American national holiday, hence the term “Super Bowl Sunday.” Several times, the game has even been the highest watched American television broadcast of the year. Last year an estimated 108.7 million viewers tuned in to the big game.   So what does that mean for sellers who are planning to have open houses on this day? Its probably not such a good idea. Although the game is during the evening, many people across the country will be spending the day preparing for […]

One street. Two homes. Listed for sale on the same day. Yesterday two homes on Leucadendra Drive were both listed for sale, both very similar.

Currently under construction in Coral Gables is 2500 N. Greenway Drive. Located within walking distance to both the Granada golf course and the Biltmore golf course, this home is centrally located in Coral Gables on a very quiet, sought after street in the city. We had a chance to walk through the home which is about 80% completed and discussed the plans of what is going to be added. Lots of thought and detail has been put into the new construction of this home, including everything from the layout of the bedrooms down to the material of the kitchen counters, […]

Renting in Coral Gables. With less than a handful of luxury rentals on the market, the supply does not last very long. From a $1,500 one bedroom Coral Gables condominium to a $15,000 five bedroom Coral Gables home, it doesn’t seem to matter what price range the rental is. If you are in need of a place to live and you are not currently looking to purchase, renters are paying the price. Primarily working as a listing agent, I am receiving multiple offers and landlords can pick and choose who they want as their tenant. There are several factors landlords […]

As a Coral Gables Realtor for over 10 years, I have seen the ups and downs in the Coral Gables real estate market. For example, the 2004-2007 real estate boom where everyone was making a killing because the house they just bought was worth 10% more just 3 months later. Every developer was building like money wasn’t an issue. Then came 2008, when the “bubble” burst! We all know what happened here. After in 2010, when the bottom of the market was here, homes in Coral Gables were selling at $200 a sqft. This was obviously the “buyer’s market.” This […]

When getting ready for home inspections many sellers don’t realize what to expect. A lot of times there are things they can do to properly prepare for the inspection, to ensure that it runs smoothly, and to present their property in its best condition. First thing that is important to know is that home inspectors may arrive early to appointments. They typically come early to get everything set up and often times even begin starting around the outside of the property without you even being aware. A general rule of thumb is to have the home cleaned and ready about 30 […]
