Sarasota County Market Update

In March, the market for single-family homes in Sarasota County continued on the same path that we have observed over the last several months. Although sales remain slightly down year-on-year, the median sales price continues to trend upward. While we saw a shift in Manatee, Sarasota’s statistics remained unchanged.

Although we could still use more inventory in Sarasota, the market is in good shape as we head into summer. As all-cash sales decline, buyers requiring financing now have more opportunities to find their dream home.

Sarasota County Market Update

The single-family home market in Sarasota County is moving a bit differently than Manatee. Closed sales are down materially YoY, but the median sales price still rose by 10%. That is telling us that the majority of the reduction in sales is coming from the lower end of the market. Homes from the middle to the higher end of the market seem to be less impacted by the 2023 downturn in volume. Like Manatee, Sarasota’s market is coming into balance between buyers and sellers. However, it is taking a different path depending on price point. The infographic from Florida Realtors below tells more of the story.
