It's a mid-to-upper Sarasota County market, with a median list price of $700,000 and an average of $279 per square foot. The past year's sales came in lower at a $633,000 median, so actual transaction prices tend to run below the current asking levels.

Active listings range from $510,000 to $1,100,000, with just one home priced above $1 million. For a typical home around 2,468 square feet you're looking at the $633,000 median sold price rather than the higher list figures.
How is the market right now?+
Inventory is tight with only five active listings, and homes are taking a median of 114 days to sell. That slower pace, combined with sellers averaging 96% of asking across 52 sales last year, means buyers have genuine negotiating room — you can compare active homes on the live map.
