Expert Note

Watching mid-October 2026, the story is a county that is settling and a neighboring county that is climbing. Sarasota County's weekly tracker for September 27-October 3 put the median sold at $435,000 across 307 closings, with 98 days on market and cash buyers at 46.9%, while RASM's August report still shows the single-family median at $470,000, down 1.1% year over year. Venice's September report shows 33 closings at an average $303,573 with 107 days on market. Osprey remains the priciest community at roughly $710K, down 5.3% year over year, with 112 active listings and a $709,500 median list on September 11, and Nokomis typical values cluster $475K-$560K, a real step back from the boom years. Bradenton is the exception: Manatee County's median sold printed $460,000 for the week of October 4-10, Bradenton's city median was $463,359 the prior week, and Redfin's county median is up 10.8% year over year. For buyers in Osprey and Nokomis there is still negotiating room; for sellers in Manatee, well-priced homes are finding buyers quickly.
