The July 2025 housing market in Sarasota County shows a dynamic mix of stability and growth. Closed sales for single-family homes surged by 13% year-over-year, while the median sale price held steady at $470,000, indicating consistent buyer interest without upward pressure on pricing. Active inventory rose 16%, giving buyers more choices and potentially easing competition.
