🏠 September 2025 Market by the Numbers

💡 Key Takeaways for Sellers
1. The Market Dictates Price
Today’s Sarasota real estate market is driven by what buyers are paying for comparable homes right now, not what your property may have been worth at the peak. Staying realistic — and data-driven — is the key to selling successfully.
2. Marketing Matters More Than Ever
Homes that are priced correctly and marketed strategically are the ones selling — just like the 1,315 that closed last month. Professional photography, digital marketing, and targeted exposure across online platforms make a measurable difference in today’s competitive landscape.
