Like most markets Sarasota has had a down turn in prices and an increase in inventory. We are also seeing sales as Sarasota is a premier destination. That inventory includes some very very (did I say Very) nice homes on Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Tera Cia and Bradenton Beach. As a local I expect that the cost of a home on LBK will be more than one on Siesta Key or Bradenton Beach but in comparing prices there is not that much difference. Tera Cia being more exclusive yet a different (read more relaxed) atmosphere than LBK from my point of view - of course this is most probably do to the amount of semi new construction that has gone on in Tera Cia. Regardless, I am seeing excellent price points on the island properties. Let me know if your interested and I will do a search and email you the information.

A Realtor in Sarasota and Manatee Counties for 5 years. Member of SAR, NAR and FAR. A Realtor with Professional Pride and Ethics who works hard for my customers finding the right home or investment.
I have lived, left, visited and returned to Sarasota area since 1979. I have seen both Manatee and Sarasota Counties grow from orange groves and dirt roads to what they are today. My life's journey has taken me away from Sarasota but I keep coming back. I left for awhile in my twenties to return to the North East where I spent my formative years, but I came back, then I got to travel the world as a Tech, Trainer, Project Manager and Customer Service Rep for over 12 years for a software developer - keeping Sarasota as my base and where I traveled out of.
Boy talking about seeing change happen - I remember when Cortez Rd had no business or condos or buildings along it. It was a straight stretch to the beach. I remember going 4 wheel riding out Bee Ridge - long before any of the buildup east of 75 was even thought of. I watched Palmer Ranch, The Meadows and Lakewood Ranch all develop. When I decided to change careers and become a professional real estate agent, I also decided to stay here and put my local knowledge to use.
Real Estate involves much more than buying and selling houses. It's the people inside the houses and properties that matter most. My principles include a commitment to providing personal service that exceeds expectations while maintaining a dedication to the highest professional standards.
Whether you are buying, selling, or leasing a property in Sarasota, I will provide you with expert real estate guidance. I say this with assurance because I know the area and the market from living and working in the Sarasota area for over 20 years. My approach has been to align myself with other professional Realtor's. Working with a team to provide the details necessary for an informed decision on financing, market values, and any other questions you may have about your transaction. I work with you and for you to ensure a smooth transaction.
Hope to see you soon,
Cyndi
