Sarasota Real Estate News

There was an interesting article in the Sarasota Herald Tribune today about whether the Sarasota real estate market has hit bottom or not. Take a look a the chart below. This was in the newspaper recently. It shows the fluctuation in the median home price of homes in Sarasota and Bradenton. Notice how it is trading in that band? It has been trading in that band for the last 10 months. It appears that the market is stabilizing.

Depending on the price range you look at inventory levels are 12%-15% of the highs. In the luxury segment of the market inventories are 15% off the highs. There is no way to know today if we are at the bottom. We will only know after it is in our rear view mirror.
