Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Sarasota real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Sarasota is seeing a steady flow of homes for sale, with 894 properties on the market and 239 new listings in March 2026. Contract activity is solid, with 179 pending sales and a months-of-supply figure of 6.4, pointing to a neutral balance between buyers and sellers. Homes are taking a median of 57 days to go under contract, and that timeline has shortened by about 31% compared with the prior month.
Pricing is adjusting as this activity plays out. The typical home value sits around $682,500, which is about 24.66% higher than a year ago, even though it dipped 14.69% from the prior month. List prices are also easing, with the median list price at $950,000, down roughly 11.42% month over month, and only about 5.7% of homes are closing above list, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.93.
Many sellers are responding to buyer sensitivity, with price reductions on roughly 34% of listings and inventory down 3.56% from last year, even as new listings rose a notable 20.1%. Compared with Sarasota County overall, where the typical home value is about $430,000, Sarasota city sits at a higher price point but shares a similar neutral feel in terms of bargaining power. With projected inventory near 887 and a projected typical value of $623,752 next month, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

Rich has a keen eye for potential issues and a deep understanding of building codes that many other agents, and even some inspectors, might miss. He truly knows the critical phases of construction, from the foundation on, and when to schedule inspections. He understands the tricks builders use to hide problems and is a fierce advocate for his clients. I have no doubt he saved me from future headaches. He is an invaluable resource who ensured I ended up with a high-quality home.”
