Median of 8 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $813,000 and $2,250,000.
1%
Of the 81 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as almost entirely second homes, rentals and investors.
Newest building completed 2025. The roll records no completions here in the last three years, so this is a built-out community rather than one still being delivered.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is a strong proxy for how many owners live here full time, not a census of them.

The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Northgate is built out and what trades is resale rather than new construction.
