When it comes to blissful Coral Gables communities, few stand up to the high standards of Gables Estates. Gables Estates sets the bar for luxury communities by their location alone. Located on a small piece of land that juts out into the blue waters of Biscayne Bay, Gables Estates has a single entryway to its luxurious community. Because the land they are located on is so thin, most if not all of the properties have waterfront locations. Plots of land in Gables Estates are noticeably bigger than most in the Gables providing at least several acres for each home. Gables Estates homes usually have large front and back yards with a pool, lawn and lush vegetation in the backyard and a long driveway, gate, lawn and lush vegetation in the front yard. Gables Estates homes at times follow the tr... 07/27/2009

People always ask us if there are any foreclosures in Coral Gables.  Sellers want to know if their property values are protected and buyers want to know if there are deals to be had in one of Miami-Dade's most prestigious addresses.  Yes, but they come on the market infrequently and the competition is fierce. The stability of the Coral Gables has mostly protected it from foreclosures.  There have been short sales, but due to the desirable address, they normally do not make it all the way to foreclosure and are sold at the short sale stage.  Even those are not nearly as common as they are in the rest of Miami-Dade County.   Let's compare the numbers: Coral Gables Foreclosures vs Miami-Dade Foreclosure and see how they compare   Total Listed Single Family Homes Miami-Dade 10,218 Coral Gab... 07/25/2009
