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.
