sarasota_real_estate_market_update_2011_400Please find below the market report from the Sarasota Association of Realtors for the closed December 2011 Business.  This is not only the numbers for December but they have also included the year end perspective.

Overall the year 2011 sales are up 8.2 percent achieving the highest sale level since 2005 and prices have stabilized over this past year.  This is good news for both the buyers and sellers.  Sellers are realizing that if they want to move, because of the low inventory, houses that are coming onto the market are being seen quickly.
 

At the end of December I brought a new listing onto the market and had 6 offers in the first few days.  With one of those offers being accepted as a cash closing in 2 weeks.  This is not an uncommon story.  The reason…

Sarasota Real Estate Inventory and Prices June 2011

Thursday, July 21st, 2011 at 6:58am. 240 Views, 0 Comments.

The Sarasota Real Estate market continues to climb with a lower inventory of homes for sale and an uptick in the median prices.  As the news of the housing industry nationally can be grime and depressing, the Sarasota Real Estate Market is seeing a declining of the number of homes and condos for sale.  Inventory levels have shown a steady decline in the past 6 months to below what is considered a normal market. 

A normal real estate market is considered when the number of homes for sale and the rate of homes being purchased is at a 6 month level.  This is also referred to as the absorption rate.  The current inventory for single family homes in the Sarasota Real Estate Market is at a 5.9 month absorption rate.  Typically when the demand for houses is…

 Sarasota Real Estate Market Update

   In January’s Market Update I shared that the Sarasota Real Estate Market has seen some very significant improvements.  Even though national and global economics can influence the market, the bottom line has always been that real estate is local in nature.   Let me explain.  The price of a house in Boston has nothing to do with what a person is willing to pay for a house in Detroit.  A boom for houses in Seattle doesn’t effect a bust for houses in Nevada. So what has happened to make Sarasota real estate such a hot topic around the country and how does that effect you and me?

Sarasota Real Estate is Local not Global

Sarasota prices have adjusted over the last several years to the level of pricing that we experienced in 2000-2001.  Why? Because Buyers were not…

          This is the Sarasota Real Estate Market update for closed business in December with some year end numbers for 2010.

   The year of 2010 has proven to be a very busy and productive year for real estate, myself and my fellow agents at Michael Saunders & Company.  The Sarasota real estate market of 2010 saw an increase in unit sales over 2009 from 6,739 to 7,603, and in dollar volume a marginal increase of .5%.  

            I personally ended the year in the top 4% at the Sarasota Association of Realtors, finishing the year as the 116th realtor out of 3,400 realtors. 
Thank you for trusting and referring me!

            However, in one of the most challenging years ever Michael Saunders and Company agents closed company wide sales of $1.432 billion
