2 Historically Designated Homes Sell In Coral Gables
Two historically designated homes sold this week in Coral Gables. The properties were located at 3505 Toledo Street and 1122 Sorolla Avenue. They closed for approximately $220.00 per square foot, and $260.00 per square foot. Both were Old Spanish architecture and built in the 1920′s.
A home is given historical designation when it is at least 50 years old and has been determined to possess architectural, aesthetic or historical value. When a historic home needs major renovations, this designation can decrease the value of the home due to the arduous process of getting permits and approval from the Historic Preservation Board for any alterations, modifications or changes to the home. On the other hand, buyers will pay more for a historic home that has already been renovated because they appreciate the charm and character that the home offers.
If you are interested in buying or selling a historic home in Coral Gables, please feel free to call me directly at 305-342-1623 or send me a message here.

Coral Gables Home In The French Village WANTED!
I have a client who is looking for a home in the French Village neighborhood of Coral Gables. The French Village (one of George Merrick’s 6 historic villages in Coral Gables) is located along Hardee Road, south of US1. These 18th century homes were designed to lure northeners to South Florida by offering a unique architectural style. They do not come on the market often and therefore get snapped up quickly when they hit the MLS.
If you or someone you know is interested in selling their French Village home, please contact me directly at 305-342-1623.

Looking Ahead In Coral Gables Real Estate…

Pending sales are a good indication of where the market is headed in the coming months. We know that 2012 was a record breaking year for real estate in Coral Gables but the million dollar question is whether activity will remain high into 2013.
There are currently 66 properties that were placed under contract in Coral Gables during 2013 (there are a total of 107 pending altogether). Of these, the average list price is $1,173,000 and the average list price per square foot is $330.00.
These numbers indicate that the Coral Gables market will continue its trend of solid sales figures and strong values. For comparison sake, 2012 experienced an average sale price per square foot of $303.00. If the current pending sales close for 93% of their list price (the current average in Coral Gables), values will remain steady as we enter the second quarter of 2013. This is great news for Coral Gables homeowners who are interesting in selling this year and helpful information for buyers who can purchase a home with confidence that values aren’t going down anytime soon.
