May stats are out!
"Closed sales increased year-over-year in three of the four major market segments, while Manatee County single-family sales remained nearly even with the previous year. New pending sales increased across every county and property type, indicating that buyer activity remained strong heading into the summer months.
At the same time, active inventory declined by double digits in all four segments. Months supply also fell considerably from May 2025, bringing both single-family markets below the level traditionally associated with a balanced market. Condo and townhome buyers continued to have more options, although available supply also tightened substantially in that segment.
Prices presented a more mixed picture. Median prices increased for both property types in Sarasota County but declined in Manatee County. However, average single-family prices rose in both counties, indicating that higher-priced transactions continued to influence overall market activity."
