• Sellers: Price properties in the $500K-$750K range for fastest absorption at 39 days, or consider villas which move in 46 days at $380,000. Avoid overpricing in slower segments like condos which average 107.5 days.
• Buyers: Focus negotiation efforts on properties under $250K where extended 107.5-day marketing periods suggest motivated sellers, or explore opportunities in Longboat Key where the 117-day average indicates pricing flexibility.
• Investors: Target the $250K-$500K segment where 69 transactions represent the highest volume opportunity, offering the best liquidity for investment strategies.
• Luxury buyers should expect reasonable 61-day timelines for properties over $1M, indicating a balanced high-end market without excessive inventory pressure.
