David Barr's Sarasota and Venice Real Estate Blog

I just added a new feature to my Palmer Ranch page on davidbarrhomes.com. There's a new map identifying single family home neighborhoods within Palmer Ranch.  You can click the map markers and go directly to currently available property listings from the MLS. The map feature is in addition to all single family home listings in Palmer Ranch, a slideshow tour of homes, and my exclusive Palmer Ranch Beach Meter showing distance to the closest beach, and the shortest route.
