Your Real Estate Weekly Update
Sarasota County – THE GREAT RECOVERY
🎯 PERFECT 5/5 PREDICTION SCORECARD!
Last week I put my reputation on the line with five specific predictions about Sarasota County’s crisis. Today I’m proud to report: EVERY SINGLE PREDICTION not only came true – they EXCEEDED all expectations!
What you’re about to read is the most dramatic market recovery I’ve documented in 25 years: Expired rates collapsed 10.8 points, luxury buyers fully recovered, and buyer activity exploded 6.8 points!
📊 THE PREDICTION VINDICATION
Every. Single. Prediction. Came. True.
✅ EXPIRATION CRISIS
PREDICTION: SOLVED!
I predicted the expiration crisis would resolve. It collapsed 10.8 percentage points! The market failure epidemic is officially over.
⚡ DOM STABILIZATION
PREDICTION: DRAMATICALLY EXCEEDED!
I predicted DOM would stabilize or improve. It improved 19.8 days! The speed crisis has completely reversed.
🏊♀️ POOL PREMIUM
PREDICTION: PERFECT CORRECTION!
I predicted the $962K pool premium would correct. It normalized to $797K! The bubble deflated exactly as forecasted.
💎 LUXURY RECOVERY
PREDICTION: FULLY RECOVERED!
I predicted luxury would regain speed advantage. Luxury homes now sell 24 days faster than entry-level! Complete reversal achieved.
🌟 North Port: The Momentum That Keeps Growing
My fifth prediction: North Port’s 16.5% market share would hold or grow. It GREW to 18.6%!
While property count adjusted with market contraction, North Port’s market share INCREASED 2.1 percentage points. The value proposition is unstoppable!
🚀 The Buyer Activity EXPLOSION
While I was focused on my five predictions, the market delivered a sixth miracle I didn’t even see coming!
Buyer activity surged 6.8 percentage points – the largest weekly increase I’ve ever recorded!
📈 The Market Efficiency Revolution
The 25.9% property count reduction (885 → 656) isn’t market weakness – it’s market optimization!
The Efficiency Transformation:
📉 25.9% fewer properties = Faster absorption rate
⚡ 19.8 day DOM improvement = Speed acceleration
✅ 10.8 point expired rate collapse = Failure elimination
🚀 6.8 point pending rate surge = Buyer confidence return
This is what market healing looks like: fewer properties, faster sales, higher success rates, and explosive buyer activity. The crisis is officially over!
🔄 The Speed Pattern Returns to Normal
One of the most encouraging discoveries: the speed-selling pattern has returned to logical fundamentals!
Quick Sellers (<30 DOM)
Slow Sellers (>90 DOM)
Higher-priced homes are selling faster again! This confirms luxury buyer confidence has fully returned and market fundamentals are restored.
🏙️ Geographic Power Dynamics
The market recovery has strengthened existing geographic advantages:
Sarasota City
297
Properties (45.3%)
Venice
149
Properties (22.7%)
North Port
122
Properties (18.6%)
Sarasota City strengthened its dominance to 45.3% market share, while North Port’s value proposition captured 18.6%. Each geographic segment has found its optimal position in the recovered market.
🎯 Strategic Intelligence for the Recovery

- Crisis Over: Only 8.5% expired rate means 91.5% success probability
