On Wednesday, March 23, 2014, Miami International Airport (MIA) was voted one of the world’s best airports serving 40-50 million passengers at the

“This is a tremendous honor for Miami-Dade County’s leading economic engine and is proof-positive that the hard work and dedication of our Aviation Department and our airport business partners is resonating with our customers,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. “The entire MIA community should be very proud.”

The 2014 World Airport Awards are based on 12.85 million survey questionnaires completed by 110 different nationalities of airline customers during the survey period in 2013 and 2014 (completed February 2014). Established in 1999, the World Airport Awards is renowned as the leading global airport passenger satisfaction study. The survey is totally independent and evaluates traveler experiences across 39 different airport service and product key performance indicators - from check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security and immigration through to departure at the gate.

MIA ranked eighth among airports serving 40-50 million passengers, behind Incheon, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco, Shanghai Pudong, Charlotte/Douglas, Las Vegas McCarran and Phoenix Sky Harbor.

“MIA’s ranking in the 2014 World Airport Awards is especially meaningful because it is based solely on the feedback from our passengers,” said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio T. González. “As we continue to pursue new and innovative customer service enhancements, my goal is that MIA will improve its position among the world’s elite airports.”

Coral Gables Market Update

The Market in Coral Gables on the move...  +As of August 2019 there were 383 single family homes on the market for sale.  The average LIST price was $3,173,000  The average SOLD price was $1,208,000  The MEDIAN sold price was $901,000  +There are 122 homes out of 383 homes that are priced under $1,000,000, or 32% of the total +There are 261 homes priced over $1,000,000 in the Gables which is 68% of the Total. + Over the past year there were 446 homes sold in the Gables ( 241 were under $1.0M or 54%) and ( 205 were priced over $1,000,000 or 46%) +The average time a listing is on the market is 63 days. + The average price per square foot is up this year about 3.6%, May-July 2018 to May-July 2019. I think this is due to the sale of many homes that are updated and ready to go. They have been setting records.
  As of the end of August 2022, in Coral Gables, the inventory of single-family homes has risen by 11% over the same time last year ( Aug 2021). However, the number of homes sold and the number of homes pended, have decreased by 26% and 24%, respectively. Why is this happening? For a long time now, we have been forecasting that the price/sqft has been on the rise, but prices have now overshadowed the norm and there is too much inventory that is simply overpriced.. In conclusion, prices need to come down in order to move that inventory. Since the Spring of 2022, when our Coral Gables inventory was at 48 homes, we have now more than tripled that number. However, our sales have been on the decline, month over month. More than about 63% of our present active inventory has been on the market for over four months. That is a very strong indication that these properties are overpriced and should be reduced at a faster rate. There are still many buyers out in the market looki...
