The median sold price across Manatee County for the week of July 19-25, 2026 was $422,500, with a median price per square foot of $229.03. These figures come from the 138 homes that closed during the week, spanning single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and villas, so they represent a blended snapshot of pricing rather than any single neighborhood or property type.
How many homes are selling for cash in Manatee County?
Cash buyers accounted for 34.1% of closed sales in Manatee County during the week of July 19-25, 2026. That is a substantial share of the market, reflecting continued interest from investors, retirees, and relocation buyers who can bypass financing. The remaining roughly two-thirds of transactions involved mortgage financing, so cash isn’t required to compete, but it remains a common path to closing.
Is there a lot of new construction activity in Parrish and Lakewood Ranch?
New construction made up 23.2% of closed sales across Manatee County for the week of July 19-25, 2026, meaning roughly one in four completed sales involved a newly built home.
