🏡 August Market Update is in — and the numbers are moving.

• Sarasota pending sales ↑ 13.8%
• Sarasota inventory: 4.2 months
• Manatee closed sales ↑ 8.5%
• Charlotte inventory: 5 months
• Hillsborough: 77 average days on market

The big takeaway: inventory is tightening in several areas, but your neighborhood can tell a very different story.

🏡 Florida buyers & sellers — timing may matter more than you think.

There’s a property tax proposal on the November ballot that could impact buyers who establish Florida residency by the end of 2026.

If approved, the homestead exemption for non-school taxes could increase significantly in 2027 and 2028. Buyers who don’t establish homestead by the end of 2026 may have to wait before receiving the full increased benefit.

That matters for sellers too. If some buyers are motivated to make their move before year-end, listing timing could become part of the strategy.

Important: nothing has passed yet. The proposal still requires voter approval in November.

If buying or selling in Sarasota County is on your radar, now is a good time to look at your timeline and options.

**July’s Gulf Coast housing numbers offer an interesting look at where the market is heading.**

The latest Shore Report covers Sarasota, Manatee, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Charlotte, and Cape Coral–Fort Myers, and the differences between these markets are a good reminder of why real estate is always local.

Here in **Sarasota County**, July recorded:

• 4,781 active listings
• 1,112 new listings
• 1,545 pending sales
• 1,092 closed sales
• $703,360 average sales price
• $768.1 million in total sales volume
• 108 average days on market
• 4.5 months of inventory

**Manatee County** also reported 4.5 months of inventory, with an average sales price of $574,139 and 967 closed sales.

The bigger takeaway: market conditions are continuing to shift, but that doesn't mean opportunity has disappeared. It means **strategy matters more.**

For sellers, pricing and positioning a property correctly from the beginning are increasingly important. For buyers, understanding inventory, competition, days on market and negotiating leverage can make a significant difference.

And those dynamics can change considerably depending on the neighborhood and price point.

If you're considering a move in **Sarasota County, Venice, Nokomis, Wellen Park, Lakewood Ranch or the surrounding area**, I’m always happy to have a conversation about what these numbers mean for your specific situation.

🏡 Florida buyers AND sellers — timing could matter more than you think this year.

There’s a property tax proposal on the November ballot that could impact buyers who establish Florida residency by the end of 2026.

For buyers, that means it may be worth looking closely at whether waiting until 2027 makes sense.

For sellers, this could create motivation for some buyers who want to make their move before year-end — which is one more reason not to wait too long if selling is already on your radar.

Important: nothing has passed yet, and the proposal still needs voter approval in November.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Sarasota County, let’s talk about your timeline now so you can make the move that makes the most sense for you.
