Coconut Grove’s Foreclosure Market

**Update: The foreclosure on 3690 Stewart Avenue went under contract on July 28, 2009.

Shockingly there are only 3 single family foreclosures currently on the market in Coconut Grove (2 in South Grove, 1 in North Grove).  To view pictures and information of the foreclosures in Coconut Grove, click here.

  1. 301 East Shore Drive, $749,000
  2. 3690 Stewart Avenue, $675,000
  3. 3871 Le Jeune Road, $429,900

The interesting thing about all of these is that they all have land over 10,000 square feet and all 3 of them have been on the market for a long time (by foreclosure standards).  The fact that they haven’t sold means that they are overpriced.  In fact, I wrote about the foreclosure on East Shore Drive back in April where I wrote “Foreclosures are usually priced to sell quickly, but this one is clearly not.”.  Since that post, the bank has reduced the price by $150,000 and clearly needs to reduce it again.

If you are interested in buying a foreclosure here in Coconut Grove, I think it is essential to work with someone who has a good local knowledge about the market.
