Manasota Key’s rolling three-month snapshot through August 2026 shows a tighter pool of homes for sale and slower movement. Active listings are down more than a third year over year, landing at 69, while homes sold have jumped over 80 percent from a year ago. Even with this increase in sales, buyers are taking more time, with the median days on market doubling to 133.
Contract activity reflects this shifting pace and selectivity. Pending sales are up strongly compared with last year, yet the share of homes going under contract within two weeks sits under one-third, signaling that only well-positioned listings move quickly.
Prices are adjusting to these conditions. The typical home value in the rolling three-month view is down more than 15 percent year over year, while the median list price has climbed about 19 percent, widening the gap between what sellers hope to get and what buyers are paying. The average sale-to-list ratio hovers just under 95 percent, and no sales closed above asking in this period, underscoring the negotiation power buyers are exerting even in a seller-leaning environment. With months of supply at 4.9, the market remains tilted toward sellers but less so than in earlier high-supply periods.
