Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Sarasota has ticked down slightly in this rolling three-month view, with about 1,350 active listings and 6.3 months of supply. New listings are down year over year, while homes sold are up more than 18 percent, showing that buyers are still absorbing available properties. Pending sales have also risen more than 20 percent compared with a year ago, underscoring steady contract activity even as fewer new homes come to market.
Pricing has moved upward over the past year, with the typical home value up about 25 percent in this period. At the same time, the median list price is only modestly higher than a year ago, suggesting sellers are no longer pushing asking prices as aggressively as before. The average sale-to-list ratio is around 94 percent, and only about 4 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price, pointing to more room for negotiation than in earlier years.
Homes are generally taking longer to sell, with the median days on market now around 70 days in this rolling three-month window. That extra time on the market, combined with rising prices and moderating list prices, reflects a market working toward better balance between supply and demand. Whether you are a buyer looking for opportunities or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Sarasota agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move.

Sarasota offers residents a vibrant blend of arts, outdoor beauty, and a welcoming, close-knit community that supports creativity and everyday well-being.
Sarasota offers a distinct blend of Gulf-front living and cultural depth that sets it apart from neighbors like Bradenton and Venice.

The result is a city that feels both relaxed and engaged, where day-to-day life includes gallery openings, farmers markets, and outdoor concerts.
Neighborhoods range from historic streets near downtown and the Bayfront to newer communities east of I-75, giving buyers options from cozy bungalows to waterfront estates. Families appreciate access to Sarasota County Schools, local branches of Sarasota County Libraries, and community hubs like Arlington Park. The city’s compact core encourages walkability to restaurants and the Sarasota Farmers Market, while beach and park access supports an active lifestyle.

“Phililp Pisano,III answered all of my questions and provided any type of information or services I needed. He was very helpful and honest.”
Michael Saunders & Company
“10/10 realtor for new construction! We built a home with KB Home over in Weeki Wachee Florida, and we had heard how important it was to have a realtor who understood inspections. We hired Rich because this is where he specializes, and he did not disappoint. He was truly with us every step of the way and guided us not only through hiring inspectors, but educated us on what to look for when noticing potential problems. Rich is a wealth of knowledge and won’t ever leave you hanging. In fact, I don’t think I have ever seen a realtor as passionate and invested in the process. This guy will look out for you. Another great part, as a buyer, his services are free to you because the builder pays him all of his commission. It is honestly just silly not to have him by your side for guidance and support. He may also make you laugh from time to time. 😅 Thank you for everything you did for us and helping us build our dream new construction home in the Tampa Bay area!”

“Realtor for us was Jen Tobey. She came to initial meeting prepared and educated. She is professional & and market knowledgeable. We signed up with her. She showed the home several times and gave us good feedback. When the house was sold the process went smoothly, even though it was a probate sale. All of my phone calls, emails and text messages were immediately answered. What a pleasure working with her after dealing with courts, judges, banks, lawyers, financial advisors, retailers, inspectors and roofers to name a few. We also had a wonderful title company handle the closing.”

“Working with David Lovitch to sell my home was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His professionalism, market expertise, and attention to detail truly set him apart. From the moment we listed, David developed a smart pricing strategy, arranged beautiful marketing materials, and coordinated every showing with care and precision. What impressed me most was David’s communication — I always knew what was happening, and he provided honest, insightful advice every step of the way. The negotiation process was handled flawlessly, and he secured an excellent offer that exceeded my expectations. Thanks to David, the entire selling experience was smooth, stress-free, and successful. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent — I’d highly recommend David Lovitch to anyone looking to sell their home with confidence and ease.”

“We had worked with Julie when we purchased this property so when we decided to sell, it was a "no brainer," she knew us and knew the property. Even though the market was not as favorable as hoped, she stood by us, encouraged and updated us frequently. We have nothing but the highest regards for her professional services, in fact, more than once she went out of her way to make this sale possible. Every good trait you would expect from a realtor, she delivered. No high pressure just I'm here to help you attitude.”
