Sarasota County Update

While the YoY sales drop mirrors the activity in Manatee, the YoY median sales price increase in Sarasota jumped quite a bit higher than Manatee (31% vs 21%). Cash sales dipped a bit in July from the over 50% in Sarasota in June. Also, new listings are not coming on as quickly in Sarasota as they are in Manatee. All of this leads me to believe that prices will be a little more stubborn in Sarasota than Manatee in the short-term. That said, it seems that every month now brings a material change in the market. As with every real estate transaction, both the buyer and seller have to take into account what is best for their unique situations when they examine any potential deal.
