Coral Gables Foreclosure | 4114 San Amaro Drive | Sale Price: $601,000 In 2009 there were 53 single family foreclosure homes that sold in Coral Gables.  Of these homes, the average selling price was $368,882 with an average sales price per square foot of $170.00.  To put these numbers into perspective, the average sales price of a non-distressed home in Coral Gables (2009) was $987,687 at an average sales price per square foot of $284.00. As would be expected the sales price to list price ratio for foreclosure homes in Coral Gables is 96% whereas the ratio is only 90% for non-distressed homes.  In layman's terms, the foreclosure homes sold much closer to the asking price than the non-foreclosures.  This is due to the fact that the properties are already heavily discounted when they hit...

I think many people were surprised after yesterday’s post to learn that Coconut Grove home values dropped 15% in 2009.  I did a quick analysis of the Coral Gables market for 2009 and thought some of you might be interested to see how we compared to the City Beautiful.  It wasn’t just Coconut Grove that was hit hard, see the stats for Coral Gables below. Coral Gables 2009 Real Estate Market Review The total number of homes sold in Coral Gables in 2009: 347 (308 in 2008) Average “sales price per square foot” in 2009: $284.00 ($309.00 in 2008) Average sales price in 2009: $987,687 ($1,042,585 in 2008) For those of you who missed yesterday’s post, Coconut Grove 2009 Real Estate Market Review.

  This Historic Home in Coral Gables could be yours, the OLDEST standing residence in Miami-Dade County! Live in history! This farm house, built over 20 years BEFORE George Merrick developed Coral Gables, has been lovingly maintained true to the original builders design, including claw-footed tub and tin ceiling!  Built in 1899, the house was the homestead to avocado and mango grower, Arthur Lang, who bought the 10 acres from Miami founder, Julia Tuttle.  Lang sold the home to the Morton Adams in 1934 who renamed the street running up to the his property line at Old Dixie Highway (US 1), Maynada Street, after their daughter, Mayna.  This lovely home has been owned by the same owners, Peter Zorn Jr and his wife Kathleen Smith Zorn for over 30 years now.  They have it decorated and furnis...

What Does "REO" Mean? Real Estate Owned. It's the term the banks use to identify their foreclosure properties. What Is "Foreclosure"? A procedure whereby property pledged as security for a debt is sold to pay the debt in event of default in payments or terms. If a homeowner with a mortgage on their property fails to make payments on that loan, then the lender will file a law suite to take back the property for non-payment of the loan. This action is called foreclosure. How Can I Find Foreclosure Properties? There are many services available where for a fee you receive foereclosure listings periodically. Some websites offer these listings for free. How Does The Bank Decide What To Sell A Foreclosed Property For? Keep in mind that the bank wants to sell the home for as much as it can. Alt...

If you drive along Old Cutler in Coral Gables, starting around the Cocoplum circle heading South, you see quite a few communities tucked away on either side of Old Cutler.  Did you ever wonder what each one was?  Here is a map which will help you make sense of those hidden enclaves.  You will also see just how far south Coral Gables winds it's way down the Bay, many do not know quite how far South the southern border of Coral Gables is! Here is the Map to help you visualize where they are:     View Coral Gables Luxury Communities in a larger map

Coral Way Condos Miami | Sale Rent Coral Way is one of the main thoroughfares between Coral Gables and the City of Miami. In 1929, a Roadside Beautification Program was started, and 1200 Banyan trees were planted along Coral Way. The original architecture in the Coral Way neighborhoods reflect the early 1920's and some of the oldest sections contain a mixture of Spanish Mission and bungalow homes, along with the art deco style from the 1930's and the modest post WWII dwellings. Today, many condominium projects are replacing the single story retail shops that have lined Coral Way for years. These condos are up to fifteen stories high giving a mid-rise feel to the vibrant, active neighborhood. Long an area for first-time single family home buyers with new families or a great place for dow...

Tahiti Beach is a gorgeous and exclusive community of Coral Gables homes with amazing residential property and a perfect waterfront location. Tahiti Beach has a unique classification, while the community is located within Coral Gables it’s actually a sub-community of Cocoplum. Being that Tahiti Beach is a sub-community of around a dozen homes it makes sense that it’s not its own community. Tahiti Beach has many qualities someone looking luxury waterfront living would enjoy. Its location is just ten minutes from Downtown Miami and Miami Beach. Many consider Tahiti Beach to have the best homes in Cocoplum. Tahiti Beach homes are truly magnificent, with their classic Florida designs and massive amounts of acreage these homes embody the true nature of luxury living. The front yard of these ...

Residents enjoy the name Cocoplum for its fun-loving sound which accurately depicts its fun and exciting community. Cocoplum may just be another luxury Coral Gables community located right next to Gables Estates, Sunset Harbor and Tahiti Beach, but Cocoplum has a uniquely friendly atmosphere and incredibly high standard of luxury. Perhaps its Cocoplum’s secluded location or particularly nice homes but one thing is for sure, Cocoplum is one of the nicest places to live in South Florida. Homes in Cocoplum are slightly smaller than Gables Estates, but have an equal luxury appeal. Cocoplum has single entryway that is guarded 24-hours a day by security. Cocoplum’s luxurious Coral Gables waterfront location is a favorite for boaters and sea-lovers. Cocoplum is known for having boat dockage th...
