As I do every year, I compile and analyze all of the sales in Coconut Grove (per MLS data – which takes me several weeks) over the previous year and look at where our community is trending…and holy cow, has the trend skyrocketed to numbers that I had to triple check because they were hard to believe!
I am a Groveite through and through. I met my wife in the Grove 12 years ago, was married in the Grove (St. Hugh), my reception was in the Grove (Villa Woodbine), I have lived in the Grove for the past 12 years, and I am the Executive Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman in our Grove office at Two CocoWalk. I have put together this report for the past 8 years because I care about the health of our community and helping people understand where the Grove housing market has been and is headed.
The overall market in South Florida exploded in 2021 due to an enormous influx of buyers from New York, Chicago and L.A. because of our favorable tax rates and triggered by Covid and “the way our city is being run” – (I lumped many, many different people into that one sentence as that was a very common answer when asking buyers “why Florida?”).
The Coconut Grove real estate market had increased year-over-year for 8 consecutive years until it exploded in 2020 and then basically shattered every metric ever tabulated in 2021. Here are some takeaways from the 2021 numbers:
- Total sales volume in ALL of the Grove set a new all-time high at $1,452,047,154, shattering the previous high of $541,812,781 from 2020.
- The average sales price in ALL of the Grove also set a new all-time high at $1,815,059, a 64.8% jump from the previous high of $1,101,245 from 2020.
- The average sales price per square foot in ALL of the Grove also set a new all-time high at $636.63, besting the previous high of $459.27 from 2020.
- South Coconut Grove saw the biggest jump EVER with its average sales price jumping a staggering 91.7%.
Coconut Grove Real Estate – Months of Supply (February 2022)
Months of supply means how long it would take for the market to absorb all real estate, if no additional real estate came to market. This stat determines whether it is a Buyer’s Market or Seller’s Market. When looking at statistics, having a 6-month supply or less favors sellers while more than 6 months favors buyers.
Single-Family Homes: 2.4-Month Supply (Very Heavy Seller’s Market)
46 Currently Available
115 Sold in Past 6 Months
Condos: 1.7-Month Supply (Very Heavy Seller’s Market)
42 Currently Available
147 Sold in Past 6 Months
Townhomes: 2-Month Supply ( Very Heavy Seller’s Market)
14 Currently Available
42 Sold in Past 6 Months
*All 3 categories above are the lowest of any period in Coconut Grove’s history*
