How Hammock Preserve compares
From the county records
$690,000
Median of 48 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $489,000 and $970,000.
39%
Of the 388 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 2022. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.
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.
At an estimated $5,315 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Hammock Preserve sits about 61% below the Sarasota median of $13,676, ranking 20 of the 90 Sarasota communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Nothing found is not the same as nothing in force. Every community in Florida with an association has governing documents; this says only that they have not been found in a public place.
The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Hammock Preserve FAQ
Can you still buy a new home in Hammock Preserve?+
Hammock Preserve is essentially sold out of new construction, so homes here come up as resale. I can set you up with alerts the moment one hits the market and give you an honest read on value before you offer.
What kind of homes are in Hammock Preserve?+
Hammock Preserve offers single family. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. 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 Hammock Preserve actually sold for?+
48 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Hammock Preserve since October 2023, at a median of $690,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $489,000 and $970,000, 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 Hammock Preserve year round?+
39% of the 388 matched residential units in Hammock Preserve 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 Hammock Preserve still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Hammock Preserve was completed in 2022, across 391 platted parcels of which 388 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Hammock Preserve in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. 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.
Does Hammock Preserve have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Hammock Preserve has an HOA fee estimated at $4,892 - $5,737 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. A community development district bills through your property taxes rather than through the association, and its assessment can carry two separate components: debt service, which repays the bonds that funded roads, drainage and amenities, and an operations and maintenance charge, which does not end with the bonds. A community without a district avoids both as currently assessed. Figures are estimates, assessments are set annually, and both vary by home and phase, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.
What flood zone is Hammock Preserve in?+
The flood zone recorded for Hammock Preserve is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
