First Sale In Gables Estates For 2013, It’s A Big One!

The prestigious gated community of Gables Estates had a record year during 2012 with a total sales volume of $129,770,000 (comprised of just 13 home sales).
However 2013 was turning out to be a much slower year for Gables Estates with zero sales to report during the first quarter. Luckily 400 Arvida Parkway closed in early April giving them their first sale of the year. The property offered direct bay views with 13,668 square feet of living space on a 41,382 square foot lot and sold for $11,500,000. Listing agents were Toni Shrager and Saddy Delgado of Avatar.
There are currently 3 pending sales in the community which could add an additional $20,000,000 to Gables Estates’ total volume for 2013. I will keep you posted with any new sales!

Gables Estates – Best Performer In 2012

I hereby award Gables Estates “All Around Best Performer” for Coral Gables real estate in 2012. Gables Estates had the highest volume (compared to other gated communities in Coral Gables), recorded the highest sale price ($16,750,000) and the highest sale price per square foot ($2,242 psf) in Coral Gables during 2012.
Being Coral Gables’ most prestigious gated community, these figures may not be surprising to some of you. However Gables Estates does not always have the highest sale for the year or even the most volume for a gated community in Coral Gables.
For some unexplained reason, the community had an incredible amount of turnover during 2012 on their ultra-luxury waterfront homes. The chart above tracks Gables Estates over the past 3 years.
