Property Types

Single-Family Residences were the dominant and fastest property type this week, with 149 closed sales at a median price of $489,000 and a median DOM of just 34 days — a clear indicator of where buyer urgency is strongest. Villas recorded 31 sales at a median of $340,000 with a median DOM of 69 days, while Condominiums saw 48 closings at a median of $387,495 but moved at the slowest pace of all property types, with a median DOM of 76.5 days. Townhouses had limited activity with only 3 sales at a median of $283,000 and a median DOM of 67 days. The contrast between single-family homes and the attached product categories is stark — buyers are moving decisively on houses while taking considerably more time with condos, villas, and townhomes.

Price Bands

Single-family homes accounted for 149 total closed sales this week. The $250K–$500K band led volume with 64 sales at a median of $354,200 and a median DOM of 39.5 days. The $500K–$750K tier was the fastest single-family segment, with 35 sales closing at a median of $579,900 in just 33 days. Entry-level single-family homes under $250K saw 12 sales at a median of $230,000 with an impressively quick median DOM of 13 days, suggesting very limited affordable inventory that moves immediately when it appears. The $750K–$1M band recorded 8 sales at a median of $825,000 with a median DOM of 41.5 days — notably faster than the overall market’s $750K–$1M pace. The $1M+ single-family segment posted 30 sales at a median of $1,712,500 with a median DOM of 70 days, reflecting the longer decision timelines typical of high-end transactions.

Sarasota led the single-family segment with 62 closings at a median sold price of $685,750 and a median DOM of 33.5 days — the fastest among the major cities for this property type.

The $1M+ tier was the fastest in this segment, with 8 sales at a median of $1,600,000 closing in a median of 46.5 days — suggesting motivated luxury attached-product buyers. The Under $250K band saw 13 sales at a median of $200,000, but with a notably long median DOM of 124 days, indicating that lower-priced condos and villas are sitting on the market considerably longer before finding buyers.

Venice recorded 29 CTV sales at a median of $317,500 and a median DOM of 54 days. Longboat Key posted 6 sales at a median of $1,047,500 with a median DOM of 105 days, reflecting the premium and patient nature of that barrier island’s attached market.

Property Types

Within the CTV segment, Condominiums were the highest-volume property type with 48 closed sales at a median price of $387,495, though they also carried the longest median DOM at 76.5 days — a consistent theme suggesting buyers are taking their time evaluating condo options, potentially influenced by HOA considerations and market selection. Villas recorded 31 sales at a median of $340,000 with a median DOM of 69 days, moving slightly faster than condos but still reflecting a deliberate buyer pace. Townhouses saw limited activity with just 3 sales at a median of $283,000 and a median DOM of 67 days. Across all three attached property types, median DOM ranged from 67 to 76.5 days — a notably slower pace compared to the 34-day median for single-family homes.

Actionable Playbook

Sellers in these categories who price accurately can expect efficient transactions — the market is rewarding well-positioned listings with 95.5% list price achievement. Overpriced listings risk joining the 78 withdrawals or 22 expirations recorded this week.
• Buyers: The $750K–$1M price band is the slowest-moving tier with a median DOM of 70.5 days and only 12 sales — buyers in this range have meaningful negotiating leverage. Similarly, Longboat Key is the slowest city in the county with a median DOM of 105 days across 6 sales, presenting patient buyers with real opportunity to negotiate on premium properties at a median sold price of $1,047,500.
• Investors: The $250K–$500K band is where the market’s heartbeat is strongest — 114 closed sales this week at a median of $351,700 and a median DOM of 47.5 days. This is the highest-volume segment by a wide margin, offering the deepest liquidity and the broadest pool of future buyers or renters for investment acquisitions.
• Luxury Market: The $1M+ segment posted a median DOM of 61 days across 38 closed sales — a timeline buyers and sellers in this tier should plan around. With nearly half of all sales (49.8%) closing in cash, luxury transactions in Sarasota County continue to move without financing contingencies, compressing timelines for well-priced premium properties.
