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. The start to 2021 has been a bit different for me compared to previous years as my wife and I had a new baby girl in January, so the start to this new year has been very busy for me and my family…my apologies for the delay.

I am a Groveite through and through. I met my wife in the Grove 11 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 11 years, and I am the Senior Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman in our Grove office at Two CocoWalk. I have put together this report for the past 7 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 2020 due to an enormous influx of buyers from New York, Chicago and L.A. triggered by Covid in large part because of “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 7 consecutive years until it slowed in 2019, but then exploded in 2020. Here are some takeaways from the 2020 numbers:

  • Total sales volume in ALL of the Grove set a new all-time high at $541,812,781, shattering the previous high of $511,592,369 from 2018.
  • The average sales price per square foot in ALL of the Grove also set a new all-time high at $459.27, besting the previous high of $446.51 from 2018.
  • The median sales price in ALL of the Grove also set a new all-time high at $811,000, an 8.5% jump from the previous high of $747,500 from 2019.
  • Center Coconut Grove seemed to have the biggest jumps with BOTH its average & median sales prices jumping a whopping 19.9% & 25.8%, respectively.

Coconut Grove Real Estate – Months of Supply

Months of supply means how long it would take for the market to absorb all real estate, if no additional real estate came on the 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: 4.4-Month Supply (Heavy Seller’s Market)
95 Currently Available
130 Sold in Past 6 Months

Condos: 9-Month Supply (Slight Buyer’s Market)
172 Currently Available
114 Sold in Past 6 Months

Townhomes: 4.2-Month Supply (Heavy Seller’s Market)
32 Currently Available
46 Sold in Past 6 Months

*All 3 categories above are the lowest of any period in Coconut Grove’s history*
