Sarasota Real Estate Review
The latest Sarasota real estate review showed 974 properties sold for just over $604 Million during August for the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas. Like the rest of Southwest Florida, inventory more than doubled compared to the same time last year.
However, it is important to note inventory was extremely low last year. Like the previous month, even though supply has increased, the greater Sarasota area ended the month with just a 2 months’ supply of properties for sale. When August 2022 housing inventory is compared to August to of 2019 before the pandemic, it is down 43 percent. Since a healthy market would be at least 6 months’ worth of homes for sale, Sellers are still in the driver’s seat.
Additionally, the median sales price continued its upward trend compared to last year. Although both single family homes and condos saw double-digit increases in the median sales price compared, the median price was lower than this June and July of this year. The trend in median sales prices combined with increased inventory are indications we have started the journey towards a balanced market. The question is, how long will it take?
Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is important to keep track of local market trends. What is happening in resort destinations such as Sarasota is quite different than the suburbs of a major metropolitan area. If you have questions about a specific area or neighborhood, contact us for more information.
Sarasota Real Estate Review – Single Family Homes
August 2022 versus August 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:
- Closed sales decreased 16.8 percent going from 815 transactions down to 678 sales.
- Pending sales decreased 15.1 percent down from 794 last August versus 674 this August.
- Inventory rose 107.2 percent up to 1,577 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when just 761 homes were for sale.
- New listings decreased from 919 down to 847 which was a 7.8 percent decrease.
- Median days on market increased to 14 days which was up from 6 days during last August.
- Available inventory of single-family homes ended August with 2 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up 150 percent increase over this time last year.
While it is good news for buyers that inventory has increased over this time last year, it did n0t change much from July when there were 1,550 single family homes for sale compared to August when there were 1,577 active listings. And when you compare it to 2019, we had 2,365 homes for sale. With the low supply and high demand, sellers continue to have the advantage in the Sarasota housing market.
Yet, this market will not last forever and it has clearly changed over the past couple of months as evidenced by the increase in inventory and days on market. If you are considering selling a home in the Sarasota area, there’s still time to maximize the value of your home in today’s market.

Sarasota Real Estate Review – Condos and Townhomes
August 2022 versus August 2021 Condo Highlights:
- Condo sales decreased 13.2 percent going from 341 real estate transactions down to 296 sales.
- Pending sales decreased 6.9 percent down from 332 last August to 309 this August.
- Inventory increased 100.7 percent up to 588 condos for sale compared to last August when there were only 293 units for sale.
- New listings decreased from 352 down to 333 which was a 5.4 percent decrease.
- Median days to contract was 14 days which was up from 6 days last year.
- Available inventory of condos ended August with a 1.6 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 166.7 percent increase.
Between closed sales and pending sales, inventory remains extremely low. Unlike the previous month, the number of new listings declined putting further pressure on an already limited supply of condos for sale. As a result, the median sales price continued its upward trend, ending the month with a 19 percent increase year-over-year. Yet, the median prices were lower than both June and July.
Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single-family homes. So now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market. What is my home worth…
