Markets are generally considered in \u201cbalance\u201d when there is about six months of inventory for sale at the current pace of sales. When the inventory gets greater than that, buyers tend to have more leverage than sellers in negotiations. When the table shows a \u201cbuyer\u2019s market,\u201d it means there is more than seven months of inventory in the market. In that situation, buyers should have at least some level of negotiating power in condo and townhome purchases.<\/p>\n<p>I grouped data for condos and townhomes over $1M with the properties over $600k as there aren\u2019t that many condos over $1M available, especially in Manatee. However, if I were to include a separate grouping for $1M+ condos in Sarasota, you would see that there is less than four months of inventory available at the current pace of sales. That is definitely a seller\u2019s market. In order to successfully land the luxury condo you want in Sarasota, you are going to have to be ready to move quickly.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more specific details for your condo or townhome, or if you are looking for information on potential places to move, just let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sarasota and Manatee county markets for condos &amp; townhomes remain disconnected at the luxury end of the spectrum.
