What $700K Will Buy in Coral Gables
Coral Gables continues to be among the hottest housing markets in South Florida. According to Redfin, in the past year, the median sale price of homes in the city has risen an astonishing 49.3 percent, to reach $875,000. The price per square foot has also risen by 23.8 percent, to $419.
Nonetheless, there are still affordable homes available for young families looking to move here, or for older buyers looking to downscale. We asked three real estate agents to submit one of their homes for sale in the $700,000 price range – give or take a few thousand dollars. Here is what they came up with, in different Gables locations.
