Sarasota Bucks National Trend With Best Sales Report in 33 Months

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 at 1:32pm. 317 Views, 1 Comments.

The following was released by the Sarasota Association of Realtor:

 

With 648 total property sales reported in December 2009, the Sarasota real estate market saw the most closed transactions since March 2007, a 33 month span. Overall sales in December 2009 were also 52 percent higher than December 2008, when only 406 properties changed hands, and 70 sales higher than the 578 sales reported in November 2009. Median sale prices were also up last month for both single family homes and condos.
 
For the full year 2009, the trend lines have been dramatic. Monthly home sales have climbed to the high 500s and low-to-mid 600s, compared to 2008 when sales often dipped to the low 400s and even into the 300s. The overall number of closed sales in…

Huge Increase in Condos Sales in November

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009 at 1:41pm. 291 Views, 0 Comments.

There was an article in today's newspaper about the huge increase in condo sales in Sarasota, Florida. You can read it here. Highights of the article:

* In the Sarasota-Bradenton market, 239 condos changed hands, a 130 percent increase from the 104 sales that took place during the same month a year earlier.

* Realtors and analysts attribute the uptick to both the first-time buyer tax incentive, which was recently extended, and to the return of investors to the market.

*In Sarasota-Bradenton, the median condo price was down 20 percent to $141,100 in November from the same month a year ago.

Sarasota Real Estate Market Update - Inventories Are Up!

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 5:50am. 394 Views, 0 Comments.

octobersarasotainventory_1200

I rotated the chart to make it easier to read. These are Sarasota county inventory, sales and pending sales figures for the last 3 years. As you can see the inventory of homes have been dropping nicely for the last few years.  The dark green lines at the bottom represent closed sales. Notice the increase in home sales in 2009. The red line on the chart represents pending sales.

The number of homes for sale actually increased last month. However, it was only a modest .3% from September 2009. The sales increased 2% and pending sales increased nearly 18%. Compared to a year ago inventories are down 29%. I think the increase in inventory from September to October is probably due to those people who want to have their home listed during the busy winter…

Which Sarasota real estate brokers sell the most luxury homes?

Saturday, October 31st, 2009 at 3:52pm. 306 Views, 0 Comments.

Curious which brokers sell the most luxury properties in Sarasota, Florida? In the chart below you will find sales information of all properties sold in Sarasota county over the last 12 months starting at $1 million. This information is provided by Trendgraphix which compiles the data from our Mid Florida MLS system. A $950,000 penthouse on Siesta Key beach is considered luxury in my book. I used the $1 million starting price for ease. In a future blog post I will provide data for the $500,000 - $1 million range.
