Top Five Doral Real Estate Sales of 2014

As the year closes, Doral real estate is on a huge upswing.  Between new communities under construction and in the planning phase and the already established neighborhoods that draw home buyers to them, Doral is definitely a city to watch.  Huge corporations have opened offices here, most recently, Amazon’s new fulfillment facility, because they see Doral’s potential for growth. 

In terms of the Doral real estate market, sale prices have increased this year even though they are still much more affordable than many Miami neighborhoods.  Here are the top five Doral Real Estate sales of 2014:

9464 NW 52^nd Doral Lane, Doral Estates, Sale Price:  $3.6 million

This home sold in May after being on the market for just under a year.  It is probably one of the most exquisite homes in Doral and had to wait for the right buyer.  It is a large estate with nine bedrooms and 10 baths under over 11,000 square feet.  Yes – over 11,000 square feet for less than $4 million.  Situated on a lakefront property in the exclusive Doral Estates neighborhood, there are currently five properties for sale in Doral Estates with list prices ranging between about $1.4 million and almost $3.4 million.  As for sales this year, only two other properties sold in 2014 also in the first half of the year.  Doral Estates is one of Doral’s most exclusive neighborhoods in Doral.  Most homes have all the amenities that homes of this caliber expect to have:  private pools, large living areas with detailed fixtures and finishes, high-end appliances and more.  Oh, and Doral Estates is a guard-gated neighborhood which is always an added benefit for multi-million dollar homes.

5033 NW 94^th Doral Place, Doral Estates, Sale Price:  $1,720,000

Another home located in Doral Estates, this 3,681 square foot home sold for $1,720,000 in June.  It is a four-bedroom, three-bath home with an in-ground pool and beautifully landscaped yard.  This property is one of three properties with sale prices between $1.35 and $3.6 million and an average price per square foot at about $402.  Just as we said earlier, there are currently six Doral Estates homes for sale with list prices falling between just under $1 million and $3.4 million.  With this home and the others that sold in 2014, it is clear that the list and sale prices are on the rise. 

5224 NW 94^th Coral Place, Doral Estates, Sale Price:  $1,690,000

The Takeaway for 2015

As 2015 kicks in, the market is primed and ready for buyers and sellers. Sellers are finally seeing a return on their investment; buyers still have an opportunity to find diamonds in the rough as new developments and neighborhoods begin to come to fruition.  Neighborhoods under development including The Sanctuary at Doral, IVI Doral, and the Mansions at Doral show list prices starting at about $1 million which brings an entirely new vibe to this city. With Miami experiencing such a boom of sorts and seeing increasing list prices, the upward ripple will extend west towards Doral.
