First-Time Buyer Mistakes
Florida Realtors has put together the infographic below to help people avoid some common mistakes when purchasing their first home.
Sarasota County’s single‑family home market in April 2026 showed modest growth in sales and prices. Closed sales reached 824, up 0.9% year‑over‑year, while the median sale price rose to $490,000, an increase of 4.3% from a year earlier. New pending sales were strong at 874, up 17%, indicating continued buyer activity despite mixed listing trends.
Supply tightened significantly compared with last year: active inventory fell to 3,258, down 27%, and new listings dropped to 989, down 12%. Cash purchases accounted for 43.9% of closed sales, a slight decline from 46.1%. See the infographic below, from Florida Realtors, for more.
Mortgage interest rates continued to rise slowly over the past 30 days. As of this week, the average U.S. rate for a 30‑year fixed mortgage is 6.36%, compared with 6.3% a month ago. While most forecasts anticipated a gradual decline continuing through 2026 earlier this year, there are currently as many showing increases as decreases throughout the remainder of the year.
