Coral Gables’ Rich History and Prices

August 16th, 2013

A front-page story from the Herald Tribune depicts Coral Gables’ rich legacy in real estate. The article describes fluctuations often seen in real estate markets. In the 1920s, suburbs and subdivisions were developed, and these were marketed to Northerners as an opportunity for investment, or “living in paradise”.

The City Beautiful as Coral Gables is known, was one of America’s first planned communities, as cited by Coral Gables Museum. The plan included the University of Miami, tree-lined streets, places of worship, shopping, entertainment and more.

In 1926 however, the city’s real estate market crashed and the event was a predecessor to the The Great Depression that would affect the entire nation three years later.

The market eventually picked up – until the 2000s during the Great Recession. Market highs and lows are standard in any location, and today Coral Gables is regarded as one of the richest zip codes in America.

Reports confirm that prices are back to the pre-bust days, where average listings include $2.67M to $3.48M for single family homes. Starter homes that are located away from waterways begin at half a million dollars. Real estate professionals in the area attribute Coral Gables’ steady prices to the fact that it’s well-planned with less incidences of rundown properties.
