Florida's first-quarter housing numbers showed that the Sarasota Realtors' sales push was effective since there was a 6 percent growth in the first quarter by Sarasota-Manatee, as well as a jump of 7 percent for condos and the rise of median prices by 15 percent.
The numbers showed that market for real estate has improved, and Kathy Roberts, an executive of the Sarasota Association of Realtors, said that - now is an excellent time to buy real estate in Sarasota."
The news offers the buyers, property owners, Realtors, as well as project developers some relief. This shows that the market is on the upswing, as stated by Joe Hembree, another executive of the Sarasota Association of Realtors.
However, this four-month trend is no assurance of what may happen to the second half of the year for the Sarasota Realtors, especially since hurrican season is near. They can only hope that the Southwest Florida will not experience any red tide problems to continue their success for this firs-quarter.
