Buying a Luxury Condo in Coral Gables
In Coral Gables, where home prices are spiking, condominiums are the flavor of the season. For homes under $2 million, there are now almost four times as many condos for sale in the Gables as houses. While that ratio reverses when it comes to homes for more than $2 million, the trend is the same. “With fewer single-family homes available, it gives [homeowners] an opportunity to cash out on a house they have been in for 20 or 30 years,” says Eduardo Pruna, ONE Sotheby’s regional sales director for Coral Gables. “So, they are looking at condos,” Pruna says that condo sales in the city have doubled from the first quarter this year. We asked three realtors to submit one of their luxury condos (townhouses included) for sale in the Gables.
