Context sources. Median household income: U.S. Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2023 vintage. Property tax: county millage, FY2025-26 adopted, applied to the median closed price less Florida's $50,000 homestead exemption, an estimate for a homesteaded primary residence, not a tax bill, and municipal and special-district millage varies within every county. Fair market rent: HUD, by bedroom count. Zillow Home Value Index: a different methodology from ours. ZHVI estimates the value of the typical home, while our figure is the median of homes that actually closed, so the two will not match and the gap is shown rather than hidden. Inventory and price-cut share: county series, June 2026 vintage. Multi-county markets weight each county by its closed-sale count.
Homes for sale and homes going under contract
Both lines are counted from Redfin's county file: active listings, and pending sales, contracts signed that month. Neither is an estimate of buyers. The chart's source line carries the latest month in the file. These figures are Redfin's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
In 2026-07, 11,046 homes were listed for sale across the Sarasota-Manatee market and 2,212 went under contract. A year earlier the counts were 12,910 and 2,032, so homes for sale are down 14.4% and contracts are up 8.9% over twelve months. Fewer homes and more contracts is the shape of a market tightening toward sellers.

What renters are asked to pay
Typical ASKED rent for units listed on Zillow (Zillow Observed Rent Index), by county, monthly. Asking rent is what new listings seek, not what sitting tenants pay; renewals are invisible to it. These figures are Zillow's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
Sarasota asks $2,173, -1.2% in a year and 46% above 2019 levels. Manatee asks $2,076, -1.6% in a year and 47% above 2019 levels. Asking rent describes new listings, not renewals, so a flat or falling line here reaches sitting tenants slowly and shows up first in concessions on new leases.
Sarasota-Manatee, typical asked rent (ZORI), monthly since 2015
Zillow's Observed Rent Index for July, county by county across the nineteen markets we cover. Typical asked rent runs from $1,593 in Marion County to $3,489 in the Keys, and the year-over-year column splits the state in two.
After two years in which southwest Florida condos sold at falling prices, the North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton metro posted higher volume and a higher midpoint in the same month.
Method. Monthly medians of closed residential sales for Sarasota, Manatee Counties. The partial current month is excluded rather than plotted short. County-months with fewer than 25 closed sales are dropped. Multi-county figures are an n-weighted average of county medians, which approximates a pooled median but is not one. Data may be preliminary and subject to revision by its source. See our editorial standards and corrections policy.
