What Less than $2 Million Will Buy
March 2020
Residential real estate in Coral Gables continues to be among the most valuable in South Florida, rising in value some 149 percent since the year 2000. Last year median house prices did slide five percent, according to BHHS/EWM, making it more of a buyer’s market; still, the median price last year ranged from $752,000 to $1,100,000, depending on the month. Even at its lowest, the Coral Gables median price was more than twice the median value for Miami-Dade County homes as a whole. To see what you could buy for under $2 million 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.
