Is Sarasota a cheap or expensive real estate market? I guess it depends on who you talk to. Someone coming from Manhattan might view this area as a bargain. Another buyer from Detroit, Michigan might view Sarasota as very expensive. It is all relative to what you are used to.
Sarasota vs. Vail
I am on vacation this in Vail with my family. Even though this is a vacation I am still observant when it comes to real estate. We are staying in the Lionshead area of Vail which is within walking distance to a gondola and a few chair lifts. It would be the equivalent of buying on the beach in Sarasota (Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Lido Key).
Our condo is in the Antlers condo community which is a nice 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with roughly about 900 square feet.…

Country Club Shores is one of the neighborhoods that defines Sarasota. Dating back to 1960 it still retains its allure. Built on deep water canals it defines what good life in Florida is all about - sun, swimming, boating, beach and golf. The homes in Country Club Shores Sarasota fall into two categories - the original residences built in the 1960's and the newer more modern structures.

- In the unincorporated areas of Manatee and Sarasota counties and on Longboat Key, builders have…
