Sarasota Best Real Estate Deals

Sarasota's real estate market is growing, but there's still good deals out there.  I just updated my top picks on my website, www.davidbarrhomes.com/best_deals.

Some highlights of the properties I picked include:

  1. A luxury home in a boating community on the Manatee River in Bradenton, listed for less than half of what it sold for in 2005;
  2. A newer 3/2 home in North Port listed at $102,900, which sold for $232,000 in 2006;
  3. A condo west of the Trail in Sarasota, with direct waterfront access to the ICW and minutes to Siesta Key beaches;
  4. An income producing triplex on Manasota Key with deeded beach access for under $250,000.

Real Estate Advertising Online

The Facebook IPO got me thinking about their future, and how it will affect Google and online advertising as a whole. I don't get Facebook mania.  In my opinion, there's a lot better things to do in life.  GM recently cancelled plans to spend $10 million to advertise on Facebook because they got disappointing results.  I can't see Facebook users clicking on ads when they are chatting with friends or playing games. Does anyone feel like social marketing is being shoved down our throats?  Advertising on Facebook and Twitter has yet to produce impressive results for most companies.  However, social media does play a meaningful role, in my opinion, in driving traffic to a website. Here is a fascinating graphic comparison of advertising on Facebook versus Google, which you can read here:  http://bit.ly/JHJ5LR So why am I blogging about this? As much as many in the real estate industry in Sarasota want to deny it, the days of Open Houses, magazine ads,...

2nd Quarter Real Estate Sales Statistics | Sarasota FL | David Barr Broker Associate

Image
Sarasota real estate statistics for 2nd Quarter 2019 are available.  The market continues to experience positive growth. Two categories are worth further analysis.  First, median time to contract increased 26% over last year.  I believe this is due to home buyers from up north cushioning or extending the closing date on their Florida property, so their current residence can sell.  This in return is affecting median time to sale. The second is median percent of original list price received.  There's a lot to dissect here.  Over priced listings aren't selling, and aren't reflected in this stat.  We call these expired listings.  If the property is priced according to the market, it's remained a steady 5% off list price for quite some time.  Every property is different, but use this number as a guide for what to expect. Contact me for expert pricing and marketing for your Sarasota area home for sale.
