COLONIAL OAKS (SARASOTA, FL): 18 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 13-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 96.0% of original asking; the median sale took 42 days (window ending 2026-08-02).

The 13-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, COLONIAL OAKS’s median sold price moved from $156,000 (2012) to $433,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +178% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in COLONIAL OAKS, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2012 at $156,000. Against the 2024 peak of $458,400, the current median stands at -6%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 32 closings a year (10-yr average 14.1). With roughly 14.1 closings a year, COLONIAL OAKS’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.

What actually trades here: 100% single-family residence, 0% ?, with a median of 1,736 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $249 in the current window.

Where COLONIAL OAKS sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 53 recorded COLONIAL OAKS closings since 2024, half landed between $410,000 and $499,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $191,500 and the highest $700,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

What homes of your size have sold for in COLONIAL OAKS

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($282 vs $255) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

At COLONIAL OAKS’s $433,000 median and Sarasota County’s adopted 13.48 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,840 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,300 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Sarasota County tax page.
