• Buyers: Luxury properties over $1M present negotiation opportunities with 140-day marketing timelines, while Longboat Key’s 103-day average suggests motivated sellers in premium locations.
• Investors: Focus on the $250K-$500K segment where 135 total sales and 40-day median DOM indicate the highest market velocity and most liquid investment opportunities.
• Luxury market buyers should expect extended timelines of 140 days for properties over $1M, requiring patience but potentially offering better negotiating positions due to limited buyer competition.
