Single-family homes accounted for 153 total closings this week.

The under-$250K band was the volume leader with 24 closings at a median of $180,000 and a median DOM of 47 days, underscoring the demand for affordable attached housing. The $250K–$500K band followed with 33 closings at a median of $317,500 and 51 days on market. Activity thinned considerably above $500K: the $500K–$750K tier posted 9 closings at a median of $595,000, but with a notably elevated median DOM of 85 days — the slowest of any CTV price band. The $750K–$1M range saw 5 closings at a median of $859,000 and 66 days on market. The $1M+ tier recorded 9 closings at a median of $1,950,000 with a median DOM of 52 days, reflecting selective but active demand at the top of the attached-home market.

Geography (Cities)

Sarasota dominated the CTV segment geographically with 41 closings at a median price of $324,500, though the pace was slower at a median DOM of 79 days — the highest of any city in this segment. Venice was the second-largest CTV market with 31 closings at a median of $265,000 and a more competitive 51-day median DOM. Englewood recorded 3 CTV closings at a median of $267,500, but with a median DOM of 131 days — indicating that attached product in that market is taking considerably longer to move. Longboat Key posted 3 closings at a median of $879,000 and a median DOM of 46 days, while Siesta Key recorded 2 closings at a median of $1,679,500 with a striking median DOM of just 5 days — the fastest CTV pace in the county by a wide margin.

Property Types

Within the CTV segment, condominiums were the dominant property type with 55 closings at a median price of $324,500 and a median DOM of 56 days. Villas were the fastest-moving attached property type, recording 22 closings at a median of $297,500 in just 41.5 days — a pace that outperformed condominiums by more than two weeks. Townhouses saw the least activity with only 3 closings at a median of $409,900, and at a median DOM of 64 days they were the slowest of the three attached property types. The contrast between villas and townhouses is particularly striking: villas closed faster and at a lower price point, suggesting buyers seeking value in the attached segment are gravitating toward villa product over townhomes this week.

Actionable Playbook

• Sellers: Villas are the fastest-moving property type this week with a median DOM of just 41.5 days and a median sold price of $297,500 — sellers in this category who price correctly can expect a relatively swift transaction. Across all property types, the $1M+ price band is moving faster than mid-range inventory at a median DOM of 43.5 days, so luxury sellers with well-priced, well-presented homes should feel encouraged to enter the market now.
• Buyers: The $500K–$750K price band is the slowest-moving segment countywide at a median DOM of 53.5 days, giving buyers in that range more time and leverage to negotiate. Osprey is the slowest-closing city with a median DOM of 60 days across 4 closings at a median of $747,000 — buyers targeting that market may find sellers more willing to negotiate on price or terms given the extended time on market.
• Investors: The $250K–$500K price band is where the action is, accounting for 95 of the week’s 233 closings at a median sold price of $335,000. This segment’s combination of high volume and 50-day median DOM points to consistent, liquid demand — making it the most reliable band for investors seeking rental income or resale activity.
• Luxury Market: The $1M+ segment closed with a median DOM of just 43.5 days this week — faster than the $500K–$750K and $750K–$1M bands — signaling that the luxury tier is not sitting idle. Buyers and sellers in the upper market should be aware that well-positioned luxury listings are moving with urgency, and waiting for a better deal may mean missing available inventory.
