Coconut Grove vs. Coral Gables in 2009?

Coral Gables Tower

I think many people were surprised after yesterday’s post to learn that Coconut Grove home values dropped 15% in 2009.  I did a quick analysis of the Coral Gables market for 2009 and thought some of you might be interested to see how we compared to the City Beautiful.  It wasn’t just Coconut Grove that was hit hard, see the stats for Coral Gables below.

    Thanks, Riley. According to today’s NYT, the situation may worsen. As a potential buyer, a further drop in prices should be good but it’s not if it means even more people will be unable to put their house on the market without ending up underwater. If house prices traditionally drop with an increase in interest rates, and interest rates are increasing, I’m not sure where things will end up. Or down.
