I posted a blog recently about The Village of Palmetto Bay, and our turn key listing located at 14901 SW 87 Avenue. The market in the Village of Palmetto Bay is really on the rise! The market currently has a 6.2 month inventory. A healthy market contains a 6-9 month inventory. Anytime the market is below a 6 month inventory, we are in a seller’s market. This past April was a great month for Palmetto Bay! There were 39 pending sales, which is the largest number of pending sales for a one month span in over a year. This is up 25% from April of 2011. Inventory is much lower than this time last year. Inventory is down 41% […]

After one of the most successful first quarters in the past few years, we decided it was time to prove to our readers what we have been saying for quite some time: If you are thinking of selling your home, do it now! With the average price per square foot in Coral Gables being one of the highest we have seen in the past twelve months, and inventory being low, our market is fast approaching, if not already in, a seller’s market. Skeptical? These numbers don’t lie! As you can see in the chart above, inventory is incredibly low. A healthy market is considered to have 6-9 months worth of inventory. Below 6 months becomes a seller’s market. At 6.4 […]

1519 Granada Boulevard Granada Boulevard is one of the most sought after locations in Coral Gables. We can’t tell you how often we see people walking down this Oak-shaded street when we are passing by on our way to showings. In our opinion, Granada Boulevard is the epitome of traditional Coral Gables. Our recently reduced listing located at 1519 Granada Boulevard is unlike most Old Spanish homes in the Coral Gables area. One of the first homes George Merrick built, this 1920’s Old Spanish has four bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house, plus an additional building on the property that contains a two story two-car garage with two efficiencies on the second floor. Sitting on over 11,000 square feet […]

Among the quiet back roads of the City of South Miami… Sits a wonderful, 4 bedroom home.
