The utility trucks and workers are heading back home after their amazing assistance in getting Sarasota back to normal after hurricane Irma. I want to thank the many, many people who came to town to help after the storm. It is with remarkable and tireless teamwork that power has been restored to residential and commercial sites and companies are open for business.
The 2017 World Rowing Championship starts on the 24th at our very own Nathan Benderson Park! The story of how this venue came to be is interesting by itself, but couple that with the fact that this venue is now considered one of the top rowing venues in the world is remarkable. Within a few short years, from what started as a vision, and a "borrow-pit", became reality with Sarasota and Manatee Counties teaming up with Benderson Development to make a dream come true.

Low Supply and High Demand Drive Median Prices Up
As we move into the third quarter of 2017 we are seeing an increase in sales in Sarasota County by 5.8 percent compared to the same time frame last year. Inventory remains an issue as the numbers are still at "pitiful levels" according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of REALTORS®. He said that "Median prices continue to rise in response to the low inventory of properties for sale ..."
According to the Realtor Association of Sarasota and Manatee "Inventory in our market has shown an increase year-over-year, but has been trending lower since the peak in February. Last year at July month-end, there were only 6,687 properties for sale in the two-county areas. By the end of February, the level has increased to 8.557. At the end of last month, there were 7,182 properties on the market."
Our current inventory for single family homes is 4.2 months and 4.6 months for condominiums in Sarasota. This measure is used to predict how many month it would take to sell off all of our current inventory considering our current market.
