02 — Takeaways

What This Week's Data Tells Us

1

Sarasota city median near $493K per Momentum (Aug 2026), down about 1% year over year, with the county-wide median at $410K and ~95 average days on market

2

Venice looks to be stabilizing: medians in the low-$400Ks, single-family supply tight at ~2.5-2.9 months, condos still a clear buyer market

3

Osprey remains the deepest correction in our five: Redfin median ~$580K, down about 25% year over year, a real buyer market with months of supply

4

Nokomis typical values near $500K, down about 5.8% year over year; homes go pending in about 52 days and waterfront outperforms

5

Bradenton is the coast entrance at a ~$410K city median, though ~88 days to sale shows the slowdown is real; county SF median is $495K (+1.0% YoY)

Expert Note

Watching mid-September 2026, we have a coastline that is no longer one market. Sarasota city held near a half-million-dollar median (Momentum shows $493K) while Venice is settling around $400-$410K and single-family inventory there is actually tight. The corrections run deepest in Osprey and Nokomis, where buyers have the most leverage and months of supply runs seven or more. Bradenton remains the entry point near a $410K city median, though slower 88-day sales show how far the pendulum has swung. For buyers of almost any profile, September is a strong negotiating window; sellers should be realistic at the list price and lean on presentation.
