What You Can Buy in Central Gables 

The dwindling supply of single-family homes in Coral Gables makes it a seller’s market. So much so that the two homes we’re showing here in Central Gables will most likely have been sold by the time you read this. “What’s going on now is unprecedented,” says Patrick O’Connell, Senior VP at BHHS/ EWM Realty. “Right now, we have an inventory supply of less than two months.” That contrasts with last year’s supply at this time of three months – and is a far cry from the 12 months of home inventory three years ago. And while the median price of a sold Gables home is now $1.2million, the median asking price is $2.1 million. “You can see what’s coming down the pike,” says O’Connell. “That median price is going to jump.”
