Median days on market
Pelican Cove is a gated, waterfront community tucked along Little Sarasota Bay on Sarasota's south side, where boat access and mature landscaping set the tone for daily life. Of the nine homes on the market right now, five sit on the water and eight are behind the gate — a quiet, established pocket rather than a build-out of new construction. It's an easy fit for buyers who want condo-style ease with a genuine connection to the bay, and it keeps you close to the wider Sarasota homes for sale market and the beaches of Lido Key.
For a buyer today, the numbers tell a fast-moving story. The median list price is $375,000, ranging from $240,000 to $529,800, and homes are averaging $308 per square foot on a median size of about 1,320 square feet. Fifty homes sold over the past year at a median of $348,750, and with a median of just one day on market, well-priced units don't sit — though sellers are averaging 93% of asking, so there's room to negotiate. If Pelican Cove feels tight, nearby options like Arlington Park and the Rosemary District are worth a look.
