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 […]

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 […]
