In September 2025, Sarasota County’s single-family home market experienced a mix of growth and resilience. Closed sales totaled 646, marking a 26% increase from the previous year, while the median sale price dropped 8.2% to $450,000, suggesting more activity at the bottom end of the market. Active inventory rose to 3,137 homes, a 10% increase year-over-year, indicating more choices for buyers and potentially longer selling times for sellers.
New pending sales reached 637, up 23% from last year, pointing to renewed buyer interest heading into our peak season. Cash purchases made up 40.4% of closed sales, nearly unchanged from the prior year, showing continued strength among cash buyers. New listings held steady at 754, with only a slight 0.7% increase, suggesting sellers are cautiously entering the market. Overall, the data reflects a continuing transitional period, with pricing adjustments and shifting buyer activity shaping the landscape. The infographic below from Florida Realtors contains more information from September.
