What’s my home worth in Sarasota?
Sarasota is really two markets right now. Single-family supply is the tightest in the region, while condos are selling in far greater numbers but taking much longer to get there. Which one you are in changes the pricing strategy completely.

Why Sarasota is different
Selling a house and selling a condo are now different jobs
Single-family: the tightest supply in the region
Sarasota County single-family active listings fell 23.4% year over year to 2,736 homes, pulling months of supply down to 3.9. Sellers received a median 94.2% of original list price, up from 91.0%. If you are selling a house, this is the strongest position in either county.
Condos: more buyers, slower decisions
Condo sales rose 33.1% year over year and the median rose 13.3% to $340,000. But median time to contract stretched to 92 days from 72, and sellers still conceded 9.2% off original asking, the widest gap of any segment. Demand came back without urgency coming with it.
Your building’s finances are now part of your price
Florida’s milestone inspection and structural reserve requirements changed what condo buyers ask for. Reserve studies, insurance costs, and assessment history now move a sale more than finishes do. A building with its paperwork in order sells; one without it sits, regardless of how the unit shows.
The average is not the market
Sarasota County’s average condo price rose 62.7% and dollar volume rose 116.5% in July 2026, but that is a small number of luxury closings: 41 sales at $1 million or more versus 12 a year earlier. The median, up 13.3%, is the honest read for most homes. Be careful pricing off a headline average.
What you get
A number, and the reasoning behind it
- Step 1
Comparable sales for your community
Not county averages. Recent closings in your neighborhood and price band, plus what is currently active against you.
- Step 2
Your true monthly cost picture
What your HOA and any CDD do to a buyer’s qualifying payment, because that is what decides the offer you can actually get.
- Step 3
An honest pricing range
Including what I think is realistic versus aspirational, and what it would cost you to find out the hard way.

Quick answers
Sarasota home values: FAQ
How much is my home worth in Sarasota?
It depends heavily on whether you are selling a house or a condo. The Sarasota County single-family median was $493,500 in July 2026 with only 3.9 months of supply, while the condo median was $340,000 with 5.6 months and a much longer time to contract. The two segments need different pricing strategies right now.
Why are Sarasota condos selling faster in volume but slower to contract?
Both are true at once. Closings rose 33.1% year over year, so more buyers are transacting, but the median time to contract stretched to 92 days from 72. Buyers came back to the market without coming back in a hurry, largely because they are doing more due diligence on building finances than they used to.
Does my condo association’s reserve funding affect my sale price?
Yes, and more than it used to. Since Florida tightened milestone inspection and structural reserve requirements, buyers and their lenders look closely at reserve studies, insurance costs, and assessment history. A well-funded building supports a stronger price; an underfunded one invites a discount or a failed contract.
Should I price off the average sale price I saw in the news?
No. In July 2026 Sarasota County’s average condo price rose 62.7% while the median rose 13.3%. That gap is a handful of high-end sales, not broad appreciation. The median is far closer to what most homes are actually doing, and your own comparable sales are closer still.
Is this an instant automated estimate?
No. An automated model cannot read your condo docs, does not know your building’s reserve position, and treats a house and a condo as the same kind of asset. I run real comparable sales for your segment and building or neighborhood, and explain the reasoning.
Rather just talk it through?
If you would rather ask a few questions before filling anything out, call or text me. I grew up here and I sell in these communities. No pressure, and no obligation to list.
