Sarasota, FL
Bay Point
Not a single building, and that is the important part. The county assesses Bay Point Apts, an 18-unit building completed in 1971, alongside platted single-family sections under the same name. That mix is why listing data for Bay Point shows annual association costs ranging from roughly a hundred dollars to several thousand: a house on a lot and a unit in a 1971 condominium are two different products sharing one neighborhood name. Establish which you are looking at before comparing any fee.

These two figures are 95% apart. These two figures count different things and have not been reconciled. The roll counts parcels inside the boundary matched to this name; the community figure may cover plats the roll matched separately, or an association roster. Neither is presented here as the size of the community.
Michael’s Take
Mixed neighborhood, not one association. Bay Point Apts (18 units, 1971) plus single-family sections. Never quote a blended fee here.
How Bay Point compares
From the county records
$447,000
Median of 47 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $315,000 and $1,750,000.
35%
Of the 337 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not.
Newest completion recorded 2026. 1% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2026. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades here is resale, but it is not finished.
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 reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

Bay Point FAQ
What kind of homes are in Bay Point?+
Bay Point offers single-family and condominium. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
What have homes in Bay Point actually sold for?+
47 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Bay Point since October 2023, at a median of $447,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $315,000 and $1,750,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Bay Point year round?+
35% of the 337 matched residential units in Bay Point claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
Is Bay Point still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Bay Point was completed in 2026, across 378 platted parcels of which 337 carry a finished home. 1% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2026. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades in Bay Point is resale, but it is not finished. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
