The long election  is finally over and the question I am getting asked a lot is, “What does it all mean for the real estate market?”  A recent video put out by the National Association of Realtors sums up the election as follows: In Congress, not much has changed.  Republicans controlled the House and the Senate […]

Coral Gables had a phenomenal 2014 for real estate sales.  There were 520 closed sales from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and 218 of those were cash sales.  The highest priced sale for the year was for a 21,000 square foot, waterfront home in Tahiti Beach, listed by One Sotheby’s Saddy Delgado and sold […]

As we start to get into the busy winter buying season, EWM Realty International has gotten off to a strong start.  The company had a $70 million week between our offices in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The breakdown for our Miami-Dade offices are: Brickell $1.3 million Coconut Grove $1.5 million Coral Gables/ South Miami $24 […]

In early January, I posted Interior Design Color Trends For 2014. This adorable bathroom in a 1928 Old Spanish in Coral Gables is purple with white accents. Other accents, such as a chandelier and Cuban tile, also contained the trendy purple color.

Today during our open house tour, I was pleasantly surprised with a series of new single family homes for sale in North Coral Gables. With the exception of 1220 Capri, which is beautifully updated, these are all Old Spanish homes that have been modernized without losing the character that buyers of Old Spanish homes look […]

Based on EWM’s activity this week, it appears we may be starting to get into a more neutral market. EWM’s Coral Gables’/South Miami office did over $22.5 million worth of transactions this week, with an almost even split between sales (26), and leases (24). Seven of the sales were over $1,000,000. Eight out of the […]

Total sales (24) still outnumbered total new listings (11), which is to be expected in the middle of the holiday season.  Buyers are still out in full force and are purchasing in all price ranges.  The highest sale in our office was the home pictured below.  It sold for $7,030,000 and was listed by EWM.

Several recent  articles have highlighted the issue of preservation vs private property rights.  I want to clarify that I am for historic preservation of relevant buildings but I think if it is done retroactively, it infringes on private property rights. Both the Miami Herald building, sold to Genting Malaysia, and a Robert Browning Parker home […]

EWM’s Coral Gables office had another amazing week in sales.  Over $23,000,000 in sales and leases this week, the week before schools start.  That follows last weeks’ $19,800,000+ in sales and leases.  The fact that sales are so high the last two weeks of summer vacation is a sign that the real estate market in […]
