Houses for Sale – What $2 Millon (or Less) Will Buy in Coral Gables 

Demand for homes in Coral Gables continues to outstrip supply, especially true in the $1.5million to $2 million range, now the average sale price. “That is the sweet spot,” says Patrick O’Connell, Senior Vice President at BHHS/EWM Realty. “There are a lot of buyers still chasing a relatively low amount of inventory in that price range.” At present, there is only one month’s worth of inventory for homes at around $2 million. The result, says O’Connell, is that “people are frequently coming in over the asking price.” To see what $2 million or less would buy today, we asked two real estate agents to submit one of their homes for sale in that price range – give or take a few hundred thousand dollars. Here is what they came up with, in two different Gables locations.
