Have the number of foreclosures peaked in Sarasota?
Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 9:15am. 408 Views, 0 Comments.
Reported in this article by the Sarasota Herald Tribune the number of foreclosure filings in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte counties dropped in September by 8.4% according to Realtytrac Inc. Collectively, the three counties saw 2,690 filings last month.
Other trends are emerging from within even the region's lower numbers. For example, in Sarasota County -- which saw a 20 percent drop from its record filings of 1,437 in September -- the number of properties seized by lenders actually rose, from 159 to 188.
It is an indication that the number of foreclosed properties coming onto the market is on the rise, even as the total number of filings decreases -- a troubling phenomenon in a region still wrestling with high levels of inventory.

Drum Circle on Siesta Key

We took the kids to the Siesta Key drum circle tonight. I have been to the drum circle before but I really wanted to see how the kids would like it. They really enjoyed themselves. Tyler went right out to the center and enjoyed looking at all of the people playing their instruments. Dylan listened but spent most of his time playing in the powdery white, cool sands on Siesta Key.
If you don't know about the drum circle you can read more about it here. The drum circle takes place on Siesta Key Public Beach, Sarasota, Florida. It starts about an hour (or two) before sundown, every Sunday. Bring a djembe, a drum, a cowbell, a shaker, a flute or anything that makes noise, and you are part of the entertaining team. Bring good mood, willingness to…
Dinner on Siesta Key

Last night the grandparents watched the kids so my wife and I went to dinner at the Midnight Pass Pub on south Siesta Key, near Turtle beach. We have eaten here before. It is a great little spot to sit outside and and enjoy a casual meal. The weather was fantastic last night. I had a Mahi Mahi sandwich which was really good and my wife ate the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. I had a few bites of her sandwich as well. It was tasty. If you are looking for casual dining and want to sit outside give Midnight Pass Pub a whirl.
After dinner we walked over to Turtle beach and went for a walk. The temperature was somewhere in the sixties with a comfortable breeze. It was a great night for a walk. It doesn't stink to live in Sarasota.
