Homes in Coral Gables – What $1.5 to 2M Will Buy
The average price for a home in Coral Gables is now $2.3 million, according to Ron Shuffield, the CEO of BHHS EWM Realty. That is a 25 percent rise from year ago, when it was $1.85 million. The problem, he says, is that demand is outstripping supply. In October, there were 124 single family Gables homes for sale. A year earlier there were 306. Does that mean you should hold off buying? “The prices probably won’t drop,” says Shuffield. “We have landed on a higher plateau.” To see what $1.5 to $2 million buys today, we asked two real estate agents to submit one of their homes for sale in that price range.
