In the 24 years that I have been selling real estate here in Sarasota, I have been fortunate to represent a number of exceptional properties including award-winning multi-million dollar waterfront homes and a downtown 8-unit luxury condominium development, but I don’t think that I have ever had the privilege of showcasing a property as breathtakingly beautiful as this new 30-acre listing on the Manatee River. This breathtaking waterfront estate is a one-of-a-kind haven for discerning buyers who will appreciate the inherent natural beauty, its secluded location and the simple elegance of the home’s design and finishings.

MARKET REPORT
AUGUST 2023

The housing market remains strong with median prices for single-family homes in Sarasota County holding up well despite 24 percent more inventory than this time last year. Overall there are fewer buyers and sellers active in the market than this time last year. Brian Tresidder, president of the Realtor Association of Sarasota & Manatee, notes that “we are still dealing with low inventory numbers in our area, and the lack of new listings could be a key factor holding our median sales prices close to where they are or possibly seeing them increase if our inventory levels continue to drop. And while inventory has been growing year over year consistently, the initial uptick in supply that started in 2022 could have been part of a short-term adjustment period following our less-than-typical market in 2021. The current growth percentages in inventory might represent a return to a more sustainable and realistic growth trajectory.”
