How Can You Sell Your Coral Gables Home FAST?

In today’s market if you price your home right there is no doubt that it will sell quickly. In all price ranges we are seeing well-priced homes get snapped up within just weeks of coming on the MLS. I want to be clear that “well-priced” certainly does not mean “under-priced”. A home that is priced correctly is based on nearby comparables and a realtor’s prediction of where the local market is headed in the future.
The waterfront home at 850 San Pedro Avenue was placed under contract in just 17 days. Listed for $3,200,000 the property traded for $3,000,000. Another example is 1115 Anastasia Avenue was on the market for just 2 days after hitting the MLS and sold for $1,050,000 (list price was $1,075,000). In contrast, 1228 Aduana Avenue came on the market in 2008 for $1,590,000 and just sold this week for $1,000,000.
It takes a local realtor who knows the numbers and tracks the market to properly value a home. With over 90 transactions in 2012, my team has the experience and knowledge to get your home sold in the quickest amount of time for the highest price possible.

The gated community of Snapper Creek Lakes is home to some of the most unique and beautiful properties Coral Gables has to offer. Last year, there were 6 homes sold in Snapper Creek Lakes which traded for an average of $371 per square foot. 3 of these sales were short sales which is very unusual for Snapper Creek Lakes which doesn’t have any distressed sales on the record prior to 2012.

The Biltmore Hotel And Coral Gables Real Estate

After a hectic week of negotiations, closings, new listings and property showings, I managed to sneak in a few hours yesterday for a round of golf at The Biltmore. The Biltmore is my favorite course in Coral Gables and to me, it perfectly captures the essence and beauty of the city.
Here are a few things you may not know about The Biltmore Hotel:
- Built in 1926 by John McEntee Bowman and George Merrick
- It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996
- The hotel served as a hospital during WWII and as a campus of University of Miami’s Medical School until 1968
- Some believe the hotel to be haunted by the spirit of Thomas Walsh
- In its heyday, The Biltmore hosted the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Ginger Rogers, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Al Capone along with many Roosevelts and Vanderbilts.
As far as real estate goes, homes that surround The Biltmore Hotel tend to garner higher values due to their proximity to this Coral Gables landmark. For example, I frequently write about “The Golden Triangle” which is located to the east of The Biltmore. It is a very desirable location in Coral Gables and we tend to see properties here sell faster and for higher price/sq. ft. numbers than similar homes in nearby neighborhoods. Also, whenever The Biltmore is visible from a home it is considered a bonus and something that Realtors certainly highlight in their presentation of the property.
