Manatee County Single-Family Home Market Update

Inventory for single-family homes crossed the six-month threshold in February. In other words, at the current pace of sales, it will take over six months to run out of homes to buy if no new listings appear. Many experts believe that is when a market officially turns into a buyer’s market.

As we are approaching the end of our busy season, it sure feels like buyer leverage is increasing in Manatee. That said, leverage for buyers is greater at the higher end of the market than the lower end. I continue to recommend that sellers put their best foot forward to help ensure they get the outcome they desire because it is not as easy to sell your home as it was a year ago. The infographic below from Florida Realtors offers more detailed information.

Sarasota County Market Update for Single-Family Homes

Unlike Manatee County, Sarasota County’s market clearly favors buyers at this point. Unless we see a major uptick in sales over the next three months, there will be a significant amount of inventory left on the market heading into our slower season this summer. Cash buyers are still out there in a big way, so I am not sure pricing leverage is quite as high for typical buyers as they would like. That said, if you are interested in a property in Sarasota County, we have significantly worse times to buy. The infographic from Florida Realtors below contains more information.

Manatee County Market Update for Single-Family Homes

While closed sales saw solid year-over-year growth in January, they didn’t keep pace with new inventory on the market. Accordingly, the market continued to shift toward buyers in January. It is still relatively balanced, but it is in better shape at lower price points than the higher end of the market. Due to more transactions at the lower to middle end of the market, the median sales price was down a whopping 8.6% when compared to January of 2024. Overall, it feels like opportunities exist for home buyers in the market. The infographic below from Florida Realtors has more data from the month.
