According to data from Florida REALTORS®, the housing market in Sarasota and Manatee County shows continued signs of a market in transition. While inventory remains significantly higher than this time last year, the pace of growth has begun to slow compared to previous months. This moderation, coupled with declining median prices and longer time on market, suggests a gradual return to more balanced conditions across both counties.

RASM members joined thousands of REALTORS® in the nation’s capital this week to promote policies that support homeownership, strengthen neighborhoods, and protect property rights.
