What $1.25 Million Will Buy in Coral Gables

JP Faber

Coral Gables continues to be a seller’s market, with an ever-shrinking inventory of homes. At the end of February, there were just 202 houses on the market, compared to 614 in February 2008. The condo market also shrank, from 429 to 189 units. “This is the least number of homes for sale since we started keeping records 15 years ago,” says Ron Shuffield, president and CEO of BHHS/EWM Realty, who supplied these numbers. The sweet spot for inventory is homes just over $1 million. To see what $1.25 million would buy today, we asked three real estate agents to submit one of their homes in that price range.
