Summary of the Coral Gables Real Estate Market– Q2 2015

The Coral Gables real estate market is still in great demand. The market is pre-dominantly a sellers to neutral market with a low amount of months of inventory. Although the luxury market (homes valued at $2M+) is currently experiencing a sellers market, the months of inventory decreased considerably in the second quarter of 2015.  As inventory is decreasing, prices might be increasing soon. In the first half year of 2015 we can see that sales prices remained steady.

The Months of Inventory of Coral Gables Homes

The months of inventory is an important indicator in real estate. It indicates how many months it takes to sell all the current listings under the assumption that no new listings will enter the market. The Coral Gables market is showing a very low inventory.

Because the amount of listings remained steady and the amount of sold homes increased, we saw a sharp decrease in the months of inventory for the $500K – $1M budget category.

In general, Coral Gables homes below the $2M are in a sellers to neutral market. As can be seen from the graph below, the most affordable homes are currently experiencing a strong sellers market and so do waterfront homes in the price range of $1M – $2M.  The Coral Gables luxury market (properties of $2M+) are experiencing a buyers market although this second quarter of 2015 showed considerably lower months of inventory than the first quarter.
