As we head into the end of the year, we know there will be less homes sold in Coral Ridge as compared to last year. Good News, though. Closing prices have not dropped to match the drop in number of sales. This area really holds its value!
Although sales volume is off by one-third, prices are fairly flat. Let’s look at the numbers. Here’s a snapshot of Coral Ridge Statistics for the Third Quarter – 2023[1]:
Waterfront Homes (Q3)
| Number of Sales | Avg Sales Price | Avg Median Price | Sales Price per sq. foot | |
| 2023 | 8 | $3,986,875 | $3,147,500 | $906 |

Thru the end of October, 52 homes have sold in Coral Ridge. We are down about 30% compared to this time last year. Last year 91 homes were sold the entire year, so we know we’ll end up short of that. At this pace we’ll drop 20% in number of sales.
Available inventory has increased throughout the year, though. This should help the sales rate increase over the next 6 months. More homes are coming on the market than at the beginning of the year.
