The Answer Depends on Who’s Guiding You

The Sarasota luxury real estate market is evolving, and whether you’re buying or selling, the opportunities have never been more dynamic. With inventory increasing, buyers now have more choices and negotiating power. But real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about investing in a lifestyle that aligns with your vision.

Are you looking for:

  • A home with walkability to Veronica’s or Owen’s Fish Camp, or the ability to stroll to Florida Studio Theater or the Opera House; catch a movie at Burns Court Cinemas hear live music at Marina Jack.
  • A multi-generational living space to keep family close. Homes in the City of Sarasota are zoned for an additional residence on site. This includes St. Armands Key, the north end of Siesta Key and the neighborhoods in between.
  • A waterfront property for the ultimate Sarasota experience. We can orient you to the trade- offs of choosing something like Longboat Key’s Country Club Shores vs. living along Big Pass on Siesta Key as two of the many options.

No matter your goals, expert guidance is essential to navigating this market strategically.

A Market Offering More Choices for Buyers

With more properties available, buyers now have leverage in negotiations. Just to give some insight into the number of listings in some of our most sought-after micro-neighborhoods:

  • Bird Key: 12 homes available
  • St. Regis Residences, Longboat Key: 7 residences on the market
  • Southside Village: 50+ opportunities for buyers

This increase in inventory creates opportunities to find the perfect home while securing the best possible terms.

Sellers: Premium Prices for Exceptional Properties

If you’re considering selling, the market still rewards properties that really stand out in terms of setting, location, design and finishes. High demand for special homes means premium prices are still achievable.

What’s Next for Sarasota’s Most Iconic Locations?

The Sarasota market isn’t just about today—it’s about what’s next. The positive outcome of the hurricanes is that now our community is taking action to be more hurricane resilient. We already see solutions being implemented by property owners and communities in and around St. Armands to prevent water intrusion. Infrastructure improvements by the city and county are accelerated, and lots of momentum has gone towards new construction which largely mitigates the risk of wind and water damage due to newer building code and higher elevations.

With an unparalleled level of service, we make sure that whether you’re buying or selling, you have a tailored approach designed for success. We don’t focus on volume. We focus on you—your goals, your vision, and your investment.
