Sarasota Real Estate Update by the Numbers
Posted on August 6, 2021
The numbers are in, and the results show an impressive demand for Sarasota real estate. According to the most recent data released by Florida REALTORS®, the market for our beautiful, coastal lifestyle is strong.
For the first quarter of 2021, Sarasota saw significant increases in volume of real estate purchases throughout the area. Although single-family home closings increased by 32.2%, an even larger increase was demonstrated in Sarasota condo sales closing which increased by an enormous 45.8%. The average time to contract for move-in ready residences shrunk to just 26 days, a 43.5% reduction over the previous year, leaving just 1 month’s supply over inventory on the market. High demand, low inventory and rising construction costs are also leading to rising prices throughout the region.
For the second quarter of 2021, demand for condos in Sarasota is still very high. High-end condos are experiencing strong demand at all price points with both new and resale condos over $2.5 million selling at an unprecedented pace. There were significantly fewer listings of condos in Q2 than in Q1. Condos listed “for sale” were under contract within 2 weeks, giving buyers fewer options. Simply said, there is not enough supply to meet the demand.
For savvy buyers, it’s time to think long-term when securing their place on Florida’s cultural coast. Presales of newly released condominiums are also seeing high sales volume, and Bayso Sarasota is leading the way.
