🏡 July 2025 Housing Market Update – Sarasota & Manatee 🏡

The latest numbers are in, and the market is showing signs of balance:

✨ Single-family homes are holding steady.

Sarasota sales are up 📈, with prices steady at $470K.

Manatee prices bounced back after June’s dip.

Homes are taking a little longer to sell, which means buyers have more negotiating power.

✨ Condos & townhomes are adjusting.

Sarasota prices dipped, while Manatee stayed more stable.

Higher supply = more room for buyers to negotiate.

💡 What this means for you:
The market is cooling compared to last year, but stability is returning. Buyers have more options and leverage, while sellers still benefit from steady single-family home demand.

Thinking about buying or selling? Now’s a great time to talk strategy with us as we know how to navigate this shifting market.

2024 Sarasota Real Estate Market Update

What happened last year?

We saw closed sales down slightly from last year for Single Family homes. The Condo market saw a dip in sales closing with 10% less sales compared to the year before.

We also saw the median home price come down from the year before as well while the time to contract rose.

We also saw a rise in inventory in both the single family home market as well as the condo market as we enter into a more balanced market that becomes more favorable to buyers.

So far as we kick off the start of 2025, activity is healthy as we see some good pending numbers. We will see how things continue.

What's been going on in the Sarasota and Manatee County Real Estate Market lately?

While we have been in a shifting market, the numbers show we are in a more balanced market now as inventory grows. Sales are off from this time last year as it's taking longer for homes to go under contract.

What does this mean if you're looking to buy or sell in this market? As a buyer, you have more opportunities in this market and as a seller, you need to be competitive on your pricing.

Reach out with any questions. We're happy to help!
