WHAT DOES THE NOVEMBER REAL ESTATE MARKET MEAN FOR YOU?

Sarasota & Manatee Market Update — November 2025
Our local real estate market continues to show a strong rebound compared to last fall, when Hurricane Milton disrupted closings and inventory. With a calm storm season this year, both Sarasota and Manatee counties posted double-digit gains in closed sales for single-family homes and condos. Inventory remains higher than late 2024 — especially for condos — but month-to-month growth has slowed, suggesting supply may be stabilizing. Pricing is normalizing too, as buyers and sellers align expectations and take a more measured approach to timing.
October Highlights
• Sales: Big year-over-year increases across all property types
• Prices: Single-family values holding steady; luxury condos seeing modest softening
• Inventory: Higher than last year but leveling off
• Time to sell: Homes are taking longer to secure contracts as buyers are more selective
Single-Family Snapshot
Sarasota County: 668 sales (+29.7% YOY) | Median price $445,000 (-9.2%) | 40% cash | 92.4% of list price received | 5.0 months of supply | 61 days to pending / 106 days to close
Manatee County: 596 sales (+26.8% YOY) | Median price $481,000 (+0.2%) | 27.2% cash | 94.9% of list price received | 4.2 months of supply | 55 days to pending / 105 days to close
Bottom Line
We’re moving into a more balanced market than we’ve seen in recent years. Buyers have more choices and time to evaluate, while sellers who present and price their homes well are still achieving strong results.
If you’re considering a move or curious about your home’s value in today’s market, I’m always here to help you strategize your next step.
