Property Types

Within the CTV segment, condominiums were the most active property type with 45 closings at a $368,000 median, though they carried the heaviest time burden at a median DOM of 85 days. Villas offered a more balanced profile: 20 closings at a $315,000 median in 55 days, appealing to buyers seeking a lower-maintenance lifestyle at a more accessible price point. Townhouses were the fastest-moving CTV property type with 4 closings at a $304,950 median in just 48 days — suggesting that when townhouse inventory appears at the right price, buyers act decisively. The contrast between condominiums (85-day median DOM) and townhouses (48-day median DOM) is the sharpest performance gap within the CTV segment this week.

Actionable Playbook

• Sellers: Price strategically in the under-$250K range if possible — this band posted a median DOM of just 23 days and is the fastest-moving tier in the market. Among property types, townhouses moved in a median of 48 days at a $304,950 median price, making them a strong candidate for a quick, clean sale when priced right. Accurate pricing remains critical: the market is achieving 95.9% of list price, meaning overpriced listings are being left behind.
• Buyers: The $1M+ segment offers the most negotiating runway, with a median DOM of 81 days across all property types — sellers in this tier have been waiting. Longboat Key is the most patient market in the county at a 127.5-day median DOM and a $1,600,000 median price, presenting opportunities for buyers willing to engage in deliberate negotiation on luxury waterfront properties.
• Investors: The $250K–$500K price band is where the market’s volume lives — 105 closings this week at a $337,500 median. This is the highest-activity segment in Sarasota County, offering the deepest pool of comparable sales, the most buyer demand, and the most predictable exit strategies for rental or resale plays.
• Luxury Market Note: The $1M+ segment recorded a median DOM of 81 days across all property types, with Longboat Key single-family homes averaging 159 days. Luxury sellers should plan for an extended marketing period and ensure their pricing reflects current absorption rates rather than peak-cycle expectations.
