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.

Home Search In Coconut Grove Changes in a Year

May calendarLast May an out of town client was looking for second home or condo in Coconut Grove. Her budget was between $400,000-$500,000. We saw multiple properties every time she flew down. But she waffled on the market and the property values. “Will prices go down?”, she would ask. Not having the benefit of a crystal ball, I could only give her my expert opinion: The market is on the rise.

 Almost a year later, she’s re-engaged in her search… but her budget is $500,000-$600,000 – prices have noticeably increased. Here question now is, “How fast can I put in an offer?” My expert advice when buying a home in Coconut Grove: make sure it speaks to you – even if you are going to be using it as a second home.

 I’d like to share this advice with all my readers, don’t let the pressure of rising prices make you settle or select a home prematurely. This is where the unbiased, fact-based knowledge of a local Realtor is invaluable. Listen to us. We know a thing or two about real estate:)

If you are looking for a home for sale in Coconut Grove between $500,000 and $600,000, contact me – I’ve seen most of them! Click here to access single family homes or condos in Coconut Grove that match that price range.
