That is certainly good to hear, but I've been guessing that something of the likes is happening. The condo I live in (http://ionmiamicondos.com/) has gotten more and more residents over the last few months. It's a nice change!

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.
