  • Area Pending Sales Near 12 Month High

It has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 1,626 square feet and overlooks the Sarasota bay. The beauty of this property is the price and the private deep water boat dock that comes with it.

The previous owners bought this Fairway Bay townhouse for $512,500 in 2009. It was listed in December of 2011 for $399,000. Later in December the price was dropped $349,500.

Sarasota - Cheap or Expensive?

Downtown Sarasota Florida

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.…
