Learn About the Origin of the Villages of Coral Gables

Featured: French City Village on coralcoconut.com

Past & Present

Today its commonplace to hear South Florida referred to as an international hub but I often wondered how George Merrick and other pioneers had the foresight to envision this area, namely Coral Gables, with an international air. This led me to research the Villages of Coral Gables.

By The Numbers: Median Price Year Over Year year

RECENTLY FEATURED ON CORALCOCONUT.COM

...decreasing inventory in Coral Gables and Coconut Grove is impacting median sales prices. Prices are creeping up. Additionally Im nding that double digit discounts o of list prices are diminishing as well. Ive included median sales price charts for Coral Gables and Coconut Grove comparing January 2012 to years past. Of course, keep in mind that any anomaly in property pricing can impact these numbers, a sale for $13 million or $25,000 can skew the trend. However, its a quick snapshot to depict the increase in the median price music to sellers ears. These gures, the amount of activity Im seeing at Open Houses and most importantly, the amount of contracts my team and I are preparing tell me that we are climbing out of the bottom.
