What $1.6 Million Will Buy, with a Pool, in Coral Gables
Coral Gables single-family homes continue to be in great demand, a consequence of the sudden popularity of Greater Miami for residents of the Northeast who continue to flee high taxes and rough winters. According to Redfin, the median sale price per square foot for a Gables home has increased by 17.6 percent over the last year to $432, with the median listed price for a Gables home now reaching $940,0000. To see what $1.5 million would buy today, we asked three real estate agents to submit one of their homes for sale in that price range – give or take a few hundred thousand dollars.
