September 2026 numbers are based on MLS data for closings September 1–30, 2026 (September 1–30, 2025 for comparison), retrieved in November 2026. Cities are defined by the County municipal code recorded with each sale. Data is entered in the MLS by listing agents; it is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and may contain errors. Includes all brokerages’ sales, not only ours.
Based on information from the Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service (SEFMLS) / MIAMI Association of REALTORS® for the period September 1–30, 2026, retrieved in November 2026; compiled by The Fragomeno Group, not by the MLS.
The gap compares the final sale price, less seller credits, with the original list price. Includes sales that closed with no days on market. Past sales do not predict the price of any home. With 30 sales, a few homes can move the figure.
That is what Coral Gables homes sold for last month. Here is how Coral Gables got here.
BEFORE IT WAS CORAL GABLES
CORAL GABLES TODAY
Coral Gables is its own city in Miami-Dade County. The 2020 Census counted 49,248 residents, and the Census Bureau’s July 2023 estimate was 48,353. The Venetian Pool, which dates to about 1923 (sources say 1923 or 1924), is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 AM to 4:30 PM, and closed Mondays. Giralda Live runs on the first Friday of each month at Giralda Plaza.

NOW / WHAT’S HAPPENING
News reports, not our transactions; The Fragomeno Group was not involved. Prices as reported. Listings are asking prices, not sales.
LAST CHECKED: NOVEMBER 6, 2026 · NEWS COVERAGE AND PUBLISHED OFFICIAL PAGES, AUG 7 – NOV 5; PROJECTS, LAST 36 MONTHS. ITEMS MARKED “REPORTED” COME FROM NEWS COVERAGE. ITEMS THAT SAY “CITY RECORDS CONFIRM” CITE THE CITY’S PUBLISHED RECORDS.
SCHOOLS & COLLEGES
Schools are listed by name, as the sources below describe them. We do not rate or rank schools. Public school assignment depends on your address, so confirm it with the district. The Florida Department of Education says it does not verify the data private schools submit, and a listing is not an approval.
Public schools come from the City of Coral Gables 2026–27 education guide, which says the list includes schools outside city limits that serve city residents (Miami Palmetto Senior High is in the Village of Pinecrest). Private schools come from the City’s school list, Coral Gables Magazine (2024) and, for Riviera, the school’s own site. Addresses and grades were not all confirmed on each school’s own site.
Private schools within about five miles are included because many families drive to school and work across city lines. Distances are measured from the city limits, using the Miami-Dade County municipal boundary map and each school’s street address. The private schools were chosen from Niche’s list of top private schools in Miami-Dade County and are shown in no particular order. Catholic parish schools also come from the Archdiocese of Miami’s Catholic Schools Directory. A listing is not a recommendation, ranking or endorsement; check each school’s own site for current grades and admissions.

To see which public school serves an address, use the school locator and enrollment information on the Miami-Dade County Public Schools site. Third-party school ratings and reviews also exist, for example Niche and GreatSchools. We do not produce, endorse or verify them, and they are not a substitute for visiting a school and checking with the district.
