What $2 Million Will Buy
September 2019
Coral Gables has some of the most valuable real estate in South Florida, with a median home value of $754,100, more than twice the median home value for Miami-Dade County as a whole. The median price per square foot ($455) is also more than twice the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach average ($222).
To see what $2 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. Here is what they came up with, in different Gables locations.
