"Crowfoot stood and watched as the white man spread many one dollar bills on the ground.“This is what the white man trades with; this is his buffalo robe. Just as you trade skins, we trade with these pieces of paper.”When the white chief had laid all his money on the ground and shown how much he would give if the Indians would sign a treaty, Crowfoot took a handful of clay, made a ball out of it and put it on the fire.
It did not crack.
Then he said to the white man, Now put your money on the fire and see if it will last as long as the clay.
The white man said, No….my money will burn because it is made of paper.
With an amused gleam in his eyes the old chief said, Oh, your money is not as good as our land, is it?
The wind will blow it away; the fire will burn it; water will rot it. But nothing will destroy our land.
You don’t make a very good trade.
Then with a smile, Crowfoot picked up a handful of sand from the river bank, handed it to the white man and said, You count the grains of sand in that while I count the money you give for the land.
The white man said, I would not live long enough to count this, but you can count the money in a few minutes.
Very well, said the wise Crowfoot, our land is more valuable than your money. It will last forever.
It will not perish as long as the sun shines and the water flows, and through all the years it will give life to men and animals, and therefore we cannot sell the land.
It was put there by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not really belong to us.
You can count your money and burn it with a nod of a buffalo’s head, but only the Great Spirit can count the grains of sand and the blades of grass on these plains.
As a present we will give you anything you can take with you, but we cannot give you the land.”
Chief Crowfoot : Blackfoot Confederacy

• Increased Inventory Levels: Inventory grew 64.6 percent for single-family homes and 90.9 percent for townhomes and condos across both Sarasota and Manatee Counties since Q1 2023, significantly shifting market dynamics.
• Extended Time on Market: Median time to contract for single-family homes and condos increased to an average of 43 days in Sarasota County and 51 days in Manatee County in Q1 of 2024, indicating that properties are taking longer to reach the closing phase.
• Price Adjustments: Median sales price decreased year-over-year in March 2024. Single-family homes decreased 0.6 percent and townhouses and condos decreased 6.1 percent combined across
Sarasota and Manatee counties.
• High Cash Sales: In Q1, cash sales increased by a total of 5.9 percent across Sarasota and Manatee counties for single-family homes and condo transactions. This trend highlights a significant portion of buyers and investors, who prefer or can bypass traditional financing routes.
The data suggests that both Sarasota and Manatee counties are transitioning towards market conditions that favor buyers, with more negotiating power due to increased supply. However, the high rate of cash sales continues to impact the dynamics, potentially sidelining first-time homebuyers and those reliant on
financing.
