April 2013: Coconut Grove Real Estate Market Update

Market dynamics are so fluid. April single family home sales in Coconut Grove saw a sharp decline over the previous month with 15 sales as compared to 23. This year sales will be at the mercy of inventory. Sellers are getting more confident about listing their home but they are NOT confident about finding one, so it is becoming the chicken and the egg.

Here’s a recap of April’s sales, including my Bayhome property that sold in a blink of an eye.

March 2013: Coconut Grove Real Estate Market Update

Wow…what a difference a year makes! In March 2012,  8 single family homes were sold in Coconut Grove versus last month’s 24. That’s a 200% increase!

The offers are higher, prospective sellers feel more confident listing their homes, days homes sit on the market are dwindling but…when you see the increase in activity be so overt, you really understand the shift in the marketplace.

Here’s a recap of the month’s sales:
