Coconut Grove is a village neighborhood within the City of Miami. It is located along Biscayne Bay to the south of Brickell and east of U.S 1. Coconut Grove roughly corresponds to ZIP code area 33133. Miami-Dade County tax records indicate there are almost 5,000 single family homes located in this area with 158 currently available for sale. Available homes range from the palatial 1920’s La Brisa in south Grove, currently listed at $65,000,000, to a charming fully renovated Village West home at $299,000. The median sales price is $1,000,000, down from $1,350,000 in April 2014; however the average selling price per square foot continues a slow climb.
The total number of sales for Coconut Grove single family homes typically ranges between 6 to 16 per month, and have remained relatively stable since 2012. All of the other indicates are showing steady improvements, but the absorption rate (MSI) is hovering above a “balanced” market, slightly higher than in the summer of 2014.
At a Glance:
Here are the Highlights:
Property Sales
April Property sales were 11, equal to 11 in April of 2014 and -8.3% lower than the 12 sales last month. April 2015 sales were at their lowest level compared to April of 2014 and 2013. April YTD sales of 35 are running -22.2% behind last year’s year-to-date sales of 45.
Prices
The Median Sales Price in April was $1,000,000, down -25.9% from $1,350,000 in April of 2014 and down -30.4% from $1,437,500 last month. The Average Sales Price in April was $1,157,864, down -22.0% from $1,484,091 in April of 2014 and down -42.2% from $2,004,896 last month. April 2015 ASP was at a mid range compared to April of 2014 and 2013.
Inventory & MSI
The Total Inventory of Properties available for sale as of April was 86, down -16.5% from 103 last month and down -18.9% from 106 in April of last year. April 2015 Inventory was at a mid range compared to April of 2014 and 2013.
A comparatively lower MSI (# of months needed to sell all of the inventory at the monthly sales pace) is more beneficial for sellers while a higher MSI is better for buyers. The April 2015 MSI of 7.8 months was at a mid range compared with April of 2014 and 2013.
Market Time
The average Days On Market(DOM) shows how many days the average Property is on the Market before it sells. An upward trend in DOM tends to indicate a move towards more of a Buyer’s market, a downward trend a move towards more of a Seller’s market. The DOM for April was 59, down -45.4% from 108 days last month and down -30.6% from 85 days in April of last year. The April 2015 DOM was at its lowest level compared with April of 2014 and 2013.
Selling Price per Square Foot
The Selling Price per Square Foot is a great indicator for the direction of Property values. Since Median Sales Price and Average Sales price can be impacted by the ‘mix’ of high or low end Properties in the market, the selling price per square foot is a more normalized indicator on the direction of Property values. The April 2015 Selling Price per Square Foot of $410 was down -14.9% from $482 last month and up 7.9% from $380 in April of last year.
Selling Price vs Listing Price
The Selling Price vs Listing Price reveals the average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down from their list price. The lower the ratio is below 100% the more of a Buyer’s market exists, a ratio at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller’s market. The April 2015 Selling Price vs List Price of 93.1% was up from 91.1% last month and down from 94.5% in April of last year.
Inventory / New Listings / Sales
