Sarasota Florida Housing Market Update
The latest Sarasota Florida housing market statistics showed 638 properties sold for just over $395 Million during November for the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas. The highest priced sale was for a single family home on Longboat Key for $10,000,000.
Once again, inventory rose significantly compared to the same time last year. However, it is important to keep in mind inventory was extremely low last year. Like previous months, even though supply has increased, the greater Sarasota area ended the month with just over a 2 months’ supply of properties for sale. Most notable was the minimal increase in inventory from October to November which was only 7 percent.
Overall, inventory ended the month at 2,410 properties for sale which is just over half of what we normally have at this time of year. From a historical perspective, inventory prior to the pandemic was 4,175 in November 2019 and 4,942 in November of 2018. Since a healthy market would be at least 6 months’ worth of homes for sale, Sellers are still in the driver’s seat.
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 continues to be different than other areas of the country. If you have questions about a specific area or neighborhood, contact us for more information.

Although single-family home inventory rose significantly compared to last year, up more than 150 percent, it was only up 6 percent from October.

On the other hand, if you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting to buy a property, now may be a good time to start watching for properties which meet your criteria.
