Siesta Key is within the Sarasota county lines and only a short drive from downtown Sarasota, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the court house and other important city destinations.

Ending the Year with a Bang!


Here we are at the end of another exciting year in the Sarasota  Real Estate Market and the numbers are in! How did we do, you ask? I believe the  heading of this month's Sarasota Association of Realors' Statistic report says  it all, &ldquo;Sales in 2012 Were Fourth Highest in History of SAR&rdquo;. SAR's history  dates back to their establishment in 1923 and now has over 3,500 members in the  Sarasota and Manatee county area. Let's see what these members have a... ]]> </description>

Discover the Longboat Key lifestyle


When you think of purchasing your home, of  course one of the most important things to keep in mind is your lifestyle. You  need a place that is going to accommodate how you live on a daily basis. We all  have taken the time to day dream about what it would be like to live on an  island and be completely surrounded by water. Longboat key certainly isn&rsquo;t the  deserted island we have all thought about with its 6,953 residents.

Living the dream...


Making the decision to purchase a beachfront condo in Sarasota is one choice you won't regret. Longboat Key and Siesta key are the two best areas to start your search that will fit your lifestyle and price range, whether you are seeking something luxurious or a little more modest. The benefits of choosing a condominium for your home are vast. The absence of yard work and maintenance means you'll have more free time to relax, swim in the Gulf, or explore the Key.

Supply and Demand in August



August was a very promising month in the
real estate market this year. The Sarasota market is seeing an increase in
sales but a decline in inventory. What will this mean for our buyers and
sellers? Statistically speaking this is all a matter of supply and demand. 



&nbsp;



The Good, the Bad, and the not so Ugly



This August is out performing last
August by a whopping 27% and also last month by 15%.
