Interesting Real Estate Tidbit

For several years, Coral Gables has seen the inventory of single-family homes decline steadily. Home sales in the $1 million to $2 million range are rising, probably as a result of the disappearing inventory of lower priced properties. There are currently about 275 single-family homes for sale in the Gables, and of these, 172 are priced above a million. Compared to last year at this time, the $1M-2M home sales increased by 150% and inventory in that range is down by 30% (pended listings have increased by 60%). As demand continues to rise, prices are beginning to climb. Now is a good time to shop. Don’t waste another minute. See our listings at http://www.slesnick.net/.

Single Family Home Prices Up

Thought you would find this interesting. Single family home prices in Coral Gables have been rising since inventory started dropping in 2009 when we had 650 homes for sale on the MLX. It is a case of supply and demand and the supply is definitely dropping in all price ranges but especially in the $2M and under range. What bodes well for South Florida real estate bodes well for the rest of our economy and should help all businesses soon as well as our non-profits. There are also going to be a large amount of closings coming up in December as we have seen tremendous traffic the last three months.
