The Sarasota and Manatee county markets for condos & townhomes remain disconnected at the luxury end of the spectrum. While buyers have the leverage in condos & townhomes over $600k in Manatee, that isn’t the case in Sarasota. In fact, the more expensive the condo in Sarasota, the more likely the transaction will favor sellers.
Coming Soon in Central Park
This beautiful Lakewood Ranch home will be on the market soon. It is the Evergreen floor plan by Neal Homes, and offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, and a 3 car garage. It has magnificent lake views from both the front and rear of the home.
Whether you are looking to buy, sell or invest in real estate, it is important to understand market conditions. Real estate is hyper-local, with market dynamics changing from subdivision to subdivision. However, county trends will give you a good idea of what to expect.
Although the luxury single family home market ($1M+ homes) is much better balanced this year than last, it is still a strong buyer’s market in both Manatee and Sarasota counties. Markets are generally considered in “balance” when there is about six months of inventory for sale at the current pace of home sales. When the inventory gets greater than that, buyers tend to have more leverage than sellers in negotiations.
