Coral Gables real estate looks like a housing market, but for home buyers and home sellers, the real story starts with land value. We break down why 96.7% of Coral Gables single-family homes carry more value in the dirt beneath them than in the house itself — and why that changes how buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals should read this market. 🔗 CONTACT US: Website: https://bigdatarealty.com/ Email: [email protected] Schedule a call: https://calendly.com/bdatar/meet CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Are you buying a Coral Gables home or the dirt? 00:49 — The real mix of homes, condos, trusts, and LLCs 01:56 — The number that should stop a buyer cold 02:18 — How Florida’s Save Our Homes cap changes the math 02:57 — When the dirt sets the price and taxes set the incentive 03:17 — Why only about 4% of Coral Gables homes sell each year 03:57 — Why long-term owners are staying put 04:45 — What this means for your next Coral Gables deal The analysis looks across nearly 11,000 parcels to explain the city’s ownership structure, the role of single-family homes versus condos, and why Coral Gables keeps rebuilding itself while still feeling tightly held. You’ll see why the typical lot math favors the land, even when the structure value looks strong on paper. We also explain how Florida’s Save Our Homes cap affects the Coral Gables housing market.
