The real estate market continues to thrive in Sarasota and Manatee. While the pandemic has created uncertainty for many one thing is for sure regarding residential real estate—a rise in sales and more competition are driving prices up. This combined with fewer available listings makes a challenging environment for buyers. In the month of September alone, a total of 2,327 sales were reported in Sarasota and Manatee counties which represents a 35.1 percent increase over last year. 

“The months’ supply of inventory continues to go down, now at a painfully low level of just two months of supply for single-family homes and three months of condos,” said David Clapp, 2020 President of the Realtor® Association of Sarasota and Manatee. He added, “Keep in mind that six months is considered a balanced market.”
