Sarasota Monthly Update

Single-family home transactions slowed down more YoY in Sarasota County than Manatee in August. It isn’t very often that you see closed sales down, inventory up, and the median sales price rise materially. What I believe it is telling us is that the higher end of the market is relatively stronger now than it was last year when compared to the lower half of price points. The percentage of cash sales rising tends to reinforce that belief. The infographic below from Florida Realtors shows more detail from Sarasota County in August.

Manatee Monthly Update

August was rather uneventful for single-family home sales in Manatee County. While closed transactions were up YoY, pending transactions were down. All that led to rather flat results in terms of both price and inventory across the county when compared to August of 2022. Overall, I continue to be pleased with the market overall as the balance between buyers and sellers is reasonable. The ultimate question is still around what the market will look like as we head into our busy season in a few months.

To provide some context, historical data from Case-Shiller reveals that U.S. home prices have typically seen an average annual increase of 5.5% since 1975.
