When the inventory gets greater than that, buyers tend to have more leverage than sellers in negotiations.<\/p>\n<h2>Manatee County<\/h2>\n<p>In Manatee, there about 5% less luxury homes are on the market this year than last year at this time. However, 25% less luxury homes are selling each month this year. You put those two facts together, and you have inventory increasing from 12.2 months of sales to 15.6 months of sales. It remains significantly higher than the six months of inventory required to be in balance. The video below illustrates the points above.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MNT Lux Apr2020\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/426239024?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Sarasota County<\/h2>\n<p>In Sarasota, there are about 13% fewer luxury homes on the market this year than there were last year at this time.
