Sarasota County Housing Market: June 2026 — Inventory Hits Its Lowest Level in Years

Sarasota County posted the steepest inventory decline of any segment in Southwest Florida this June, and the price data is starting to reflect it. June 2026 figures from Florida REALTORS® and Stellar MLS show single-family prices climbing, condo prices softening even as sales surge, and a market moving faster than it has in years.

Single-family: the steepest inventory drop in the report

The median sale price for Sarasota County single-family homes reached $492,450 in June — up 8.2% year-over-year. Closed sales rose 15.2% to 805 transactions, and total dollar volume climbed 21.8% to $589.7 million.

The real story is supply. Active listings fell 27.4% year-over-year to 2,870 homes — the largest decline of any segment RASM tracks, and enough to push months of supply down to 4.1, its lowest level in years. Homes are going under contract in a median of 47 days, down 21.7% (three weeks faster) than a year ago, and closing in a median of 89 days, down from 99. Sellers are capturing 94.4% of their original list price, up from 92.2% last June.

Condos: more sales, softer prices — with a luxury exception

Sarasota County condos closed 364 sales in June, up 25.5% year-over-year, while the median price fell 7.5% to $343,750. Cash buyers made up 59.1% of closings, down from 67.2% a year ago — a sign financed buyers are re-entering the segment. Sellers captured 92.0% of list price, up from 89.7%.

The top of the condo market is a different story entirely. Sarasota County recorded 45 condo sales of $1 million or more in June, up 50.0% year-over-year, with sales between $1.25 million and $1.49 million nearly tripling and sales between $2 million and $2.99 million more than doubling. The median is being pulled down by strong volume in the entry-level segment even as luxury condo demand accelerates.

What this means if you're buying in Sarasota

Single-family inventory just hit its lowest point in years, and the negotiating leverage buyers had earlier isn't there anymore in that segment. Condos remain more buyer-friendly, but that window is narrowing too.

• Single-family months of supply at 4.1 means less competition for sellers, more competition for you — come prepared with financing in order
• Condo prices actually declined this year — if flexibility matters more than urgency, this segment still has room to negotiate
• The $1 million-plus condo tier is heating up fast — if you're shopping there, expect multiple-offer situations
• Homes priced at market are going under contract in 47 days — three weeks faster than a year ago

What this means if you're selling in Sarasota

Single-family sellers are in the strongest position in years. Condo sellers have real demand too, but the median price decline means pricing discipline matters more than ever.

• Months of supply at 4.1 for single-family is the tightest it's been in years — well-priced listings are moving in under seven weeks
• List price received at 94.4% for houses and 92.0% for condos means buyers are still doing their homework — don't chase last year's comps
• Condo sellers: an evidence-based price will move faster than an aspirational one right now — the median softened even as volume surged
• If your condo is in the $1 million-plus range, current demand is genuinely strong — that tier posted the segment's best growth
