The 3+ bedroom townhouse market in Center Coconut Grove has continued to see strong sales over the last six months, with an average sales price of $749,409.52, an average sales price per square foot of $332.66, and with listings seeing an average of 59 days on market.

Over the last six moths, there have been two sales over $1,000,000 (one resale and one new construction property), as well as four sales in the $900k range (two resales and two new construction properties). Two sales had a price per square foot of $400.00+, with a handful of sales in the high $300’s per square foot.

View all the data in the graph below. Keep in mind that this is per SEF MLS data and does not include off-market sales, including my two new construction sales in July (which sold for $1.15M and $1.7M).

Most recently, a townhouse at 3121 Oak Avenue sold for $1M ($414.94/sf). This was a resale, as the property was originally built in 2009. The townhouse is a stand-alone property which is very rare for the neighborhood (meaning the townhouse does not share any walls or roofs with its one identical neighboring townhouse). Other notable features included a 2-car garage, private pool, hurricane impact windows/doors, and large 1,200 square foot rooftop patio with summer kitchen. Click here for more photos/info of this property.

Inventory in the neighborhood continues to remain low, making it an excellent time to sell. If you are thinking about buying, selling or renting a home in Coconut Grove or the neighboring communities, contact me directly at 305.799.2124 or lrubens@bhsusa.com.

The first half of 2018 has proven to be busier than ever! Back in February, I sold my fabulous listing at 3373 Day Ave for above list price after a bidding war ensued! And just last week, two of my clients closed on their Coconut Grove townhouses: my seller closed on the sale of her home in the beautiful gated community, Grove Walk Townhomes, at 3135 Gifford Lane (the highest sale in the community to date!); and my buyers closed on the purchase of their gorgeous new home at 3035 Orange Street. Congratulations to all! Scroll below for more photos and info.

This first level also includes one full bath with a glass shower, as well as entry into the 1-car garage.

The home features white marble floors on the first level and porcelain tile “wood-look” floors on the second level & rooftop, impact glass windows and doors, and recessed lighting throughout the home.

Other notable features include California Closets, electric shades in the living room and master bedroom, gated entry to the driveway, and security cameras in the front and back of the home.

On the first level, the Seller upgraded the home with a sleek built in bar with luxe cabinetry and a wine refrigerator.
