Sarasota County Single-Family Home Market Update

The single-family home market in Sarasota County has shifted even more towards buyers than in Manatee County. That said, it is still in relative balance. We should be keeping an eye on new listings versus closed sales as it won’t take too many more months like June before buyers start to have more leverage than sellers. For now, it remains a reasonable time to buy or sell in Sarasota. See the infographic below from Florida Realtors for more.

Manatee County Single-Family Home Market Update

The market in Manatee County appears to have settled in at a relatively balanced place for now. Although there is still less than 4 months of inventory available, it is more than double what we had a year ago. Buyers and sellers are both in a position to negotiate to get balanced deals in today’s market. I tend to like these markets as real estate professionals can truly make a difference for their clients for both home buyers and home sellers. The infographic from Florida Realtors below has more detail on the market through June.
