What Less than $1 Million Will Buy in Coral Gables

Residential real estate in Coral Gables continues to be among the most valuable in South Florida, though it is currently something of a buyer’s market. According to Redfin, homes are currently selling for about six percent below list price, and according to Zillow, Gables home values have declined 1.6 percent over the past year. Having said that, the median home value in Coral Gables, at $753,400, is still twice the median home value for Miami-Dade County as a whole. But what can you actually buy for that amount? To see what less than $1 million would buy today, we asked three real estate agents to submit one of their homes for sale in that price range. Here is what they came up with, in different Gables locations.
