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 20.8% year over year to 2,619 homes, pulling months of supply down to 3.7. Sellers received a median 94.7% of original list price, up from 92.3%. If you are selling a house, this is the strongest position in either county.
Condos: more buyers, still negotiating
Condo sales rose 13.8% year over year and the median rose 3.3% to $310,000. Median time to contract improved to 83 days from 87 a year ago and 92 in July, but sellers still conceded 8.4% off original asking, the widest gap of any segment. Buyers are moving a little faster without giving up their leverage.
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
In July 2026 Sarasota County recorded 41 condo sales at $1 million or more against 12 a year earlier, and the average condo price jumped 62.7%. In August, with 21 such sales, the average rose just 4.7%. Same county, one month apart; the difference is a handful of luxury closings. The median, up 3.3% in August, is the honest read for most homes.
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 $470,000 in August 2026 with only 3.7 months of supply, while the condo median was $310,000 with 5.2 months and a much longer time to contract. The two segments need different pricing strategies right now.
Are Sarasota condos selling faster now?
Somewhat. In August 2026 condo closings rose 13.8% year over year and the median time to contract improved to 83 days, from 87 a year earlier and 92 in July. That is still close to twice the 47 days a Sarasota County single-family home takes, largely because condo buyers do 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% year over year; in August it rose 4.7%. That swing is a handful of high-end sales, not a change in what most condos are worth. 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.
