The month in review
Sarasota County single-family homes posted their strongest month yet in 2026. The median sale price climbed 8.2% year-over-year to $492,450, and closed sales rose 15.2% to 805 transactions, pushing total dollar volume up 21.8% to $589.7 million. Sellers captured 94.4% of their original list price, up from 92.2% a year ago.
Inventory tightened faster than anywhere else in the region. Active listings dropped 27.4% year-over-year to 2,870 homes, pushing months of supply down to 4.1, its lowest level in years, according to RASM. Homes are going under contract in a median of 47 days, three weeks faster than a year ago, and closing in 89 days versus 99 last June. This is now unambiguously a seller's market.
If you’re buying
Inventory just hit its lowest point in years, down 27% from a year ago, and the negotiating leverage buyers had earlier in this cycle is largely gone. Homes priced correctly are going under contract in under seven weeks. Come in with strong pre-approval and be ready to move quickly on well-priced listings; the days of taking your time to decide are over for now.
If you’re selling
This is the strongest position Sarasota single-family sellers have been in for years. Months of supply at 4.1, list price received climbing to 94.4%, and days to contract down three weeks, the data is squarely in your favor. Price at market and expect real competition; overpricing is the only thing standing between you and a fast, strong sale right now.
