1920’s Old Spanish on Granada Boulevard

 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 […]

Under contract in 3 days!

If you will recall my recent post,“New listing in Pinecrest,”  I just listed a 3 bedroom/ 2 bath home in Pinecrest last week. After 5 showings and 3 days on the market we had a signed contract in hand. It’s a wonderful house in a great location that I know will be the perfect home for it’s soon-to-be, new owners. This is just another indicator that the key to selling homes in this market is pricing. When you price a home at a higher price than the market can support chances are it will just remain stagnant on the market. Pricing a home realistically will help everyone save time, money and patience, in the end. If you are thinking of selling your home and would like to speak to me regarding the market, I would be […]

3 myths about Short Sales

As you will recall in my recent blog, “What is a short sale?”, I explained the basics of short sales. Even though it is popular topic in the news, there is still a lot of mystery and gray area surrounding it. So, it’s easy for misinformation to spread. Today I want to clarify three myths I often hear. Myth #1 In a short sale situation, the bank owns the home. This is incorrect. That is the case with a foreclosure, which is when a lender has repossessed a home from the owner, as a result of continued loan default, and is selling it in order to recover their loss on the loan. A short sale is when a homeowner decides to sell their […]

When the Price is Right

If you are considering selling your home the first question you must ask yourself is,”Am I serious about selling?” If the answer is “Yes” then I am sure you will want to attract buyers and receive the highest possible purchase price for your home. Pricing is crucial in today’s market. An over-priced home gives the impression that you are not serious about selling. Although, inventory is progressively decreasing there are still a lot of homes to choose from out there.  Serious buyers are aware of this and are doing their homework before making their next big purchase. It is safe to say that an overpriced home will often be overlooked not only by these buyers, but by realtors. Many buyers grow tired and frustrated with available housing, […]
