LA SIESTA (SARASOTA, FL): 4 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 9-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

Over the recorded series, LA SIESTA’s median sold price moved from $295,000 (2013) to $580,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +97% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $295,000. Against the 2022 peak of $717,000, the current median stands at -19%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 9 closings a year (10-yr average 3). With roughly 3 closings a year, LA SIESTA’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: 99% condominium, 1% condo - hotel, with a median of 846 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $695 in the current window.

At LA SIESTA’s $580,000 median and Sarasota County’s adopted 13.48 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,820 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $7,280 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.
Since 2006, 78 LA SIESTA listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 54% of LA SIESTA listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 75%. Momentum’s market-heat index for LA SIESTA reads 10/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 100% of recorded LA SIESTA sales in the window ending 2026-06 (3 of 3) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close.
