The local market for condos and townhomes is continuing its shift. When compared to last year at this time, the market moved towards a buyer’s market across all price points in Manatee and Sarasota counties, with the most extreme movement happening in Sarasota.
Listed at $447,500, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom home features 2,607 square feet of living space and a three-car garage. This lovely home features casual and relaxed living with tranquil lake views. If you are looking for a home with plenty of space for family and friends, look no further.
While the luxury single family home market ($1M+ homes) is more of a buyer’s market in Sarasota County this year than last, it is improving for sellers in Manatee County. Markets are generally considered in “balance” when there is about six months of inventory for sale at the current pace of home sales. When the inventory gets greater than that, buyers tend to have more leverage than sellers in negotiations.
