Modern Homes Command More In Coconut Grove!
May 15th, 2013 | categories: Buying Real Estate in Coconut Grove, Coconut Grove Real Estate, Coconut Grove Real Estate Market Conditions, What Is Selling In Coconut Grove Real Estate?
There is no doubt about it, modern commands more in Coconut Grove. This Roney Mateu designed home on Tigertail Avenue in North Coconut Grove just closed for a whopping $616.00 per square foot, or $1,800,000. The home offered 2,922 square feet of living space on a 7,500 square foot lot.
I have always said that Coconut Grove draws the types of buyers who are willing to pay a premium for homes that have a “cool” factor, and this one certainly fits the bill.
Broker for the property was Coldwell Banker.

Coconut Grove Rental Market Update
May 13th, 2013 | categories: Buying Real Estate in Coconut Grove, Coconut Grove Real Estate, Coconut Grove Real Estate Market Conditions
If you are looking for a single family home to rent in Coconut Grove then you are probably pulling your hair out with frustration. There are just 5 single family homes on the market in Coconut Grove and prices start at $3,000 for a 2 bedroom/2 bath 1,669 square foot house. The 3 bedroom homes jump up to $4,000 and up.
With inventory so low, it is inevitable that rental prices will continue to increase. The chart below shows the cost of rentals across the country since 1988. Buyers have a choice whether to purchase a home and lock in their expenses now, or deal with the uncertainty of rental increases.

List Prices In Coconut Grove
May 10th, 2013 | categories: Coconut Grove Real Estate
I keep track of the average “list price per square foot” of homes in Coconut Grove because I think it is very indicative of seller mentality. As you can see from the chart above, sellers got more realistic in their pricing between 2009 and 2012. However this year, the average “list price per square foot” jumped up to $358 which tells me that sellers are more optimistic about the increasing values in Coconut Grove.

Townhouse Market: Will Lack Of Inventory In Center Grove Cause Rise In Values In West Grove?
May 7th, 2013 | categories: Buying Real Estate in Coconut Grove, Coconut Grove Real Estate, Coconut Grove Real Estate Market Conditions, Coconut Grove Townhouses, What Is Selling In Coconut Grove Real Estate?
I was looking over the inventory of Center Grove townhouses last night and wondering whether the lack of inventory east of 32nd Avenue will cause a rise in values for townhouses located west of 32nd Avenue (also known as the West Grove).
The townhouses in the West Grove have typically sold at a discount compared to those on the other side of 32nd Avenue. However we are starting to see similar asking prices for townhouses regardless of location. There hasn’t been a West Grove townhouse sale in the $500,000′s since 2011, but there are currently 9 townhouses for sale and 8 of them are listed over $500,000.
If you look at the current pending sales for townhouses in the West Grove, 5 out of 17 are listed above $500,000. One factor in whether these sales get to the closing table will be whether or not appraisors know the difference in values between the two areas. In this case, a lack of knowledge by the appraiser could benefit the buyers of these properties.
As always, I will keep you posted.
