Over the recorded series, MEADOWS THE’s median sold price moved from $217,500 (2014) to $537,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +147% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $217,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — MEADOWS THE’s median moved +50% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $565,000, the current median stands at -5%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 1 to 21 closings a year (10-yr average 11.4). With roughly 11.4 closings a year, MEADOWS THE’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: 97% single-family residence, 1% townhouse, 1% villa, 1% manufactured home - post 1977, with a median of 1,889 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $254 in the current window.
Of the 49 recorded MEADOWS THE closings since 2024, half landed between $440,000 and $627,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $232,000 and the highest $1,200,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $350,000 | 6 (12%) | |
| $350,000 – $466,667 | 14 (29%) | |
| $466,667 – $583,333 | 9 (18%) | |
| $583,333 – $700,000 | 15 (31%) | |
| None and up | 5 (10%) |
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. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($273 vs $255) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,201–1,801 sq ft | $255 | $408,000 | $232,000 – $625,000 | 16 |
| Mid-size homes 1,803–2,018 sq ft | $269 | $532,000 | $330,000 – $667,000 | 16 |
| Larger homes 2,021–3,602 sq ft | $273 | $653,000 | $420,000 – $1,200,000 | 17 |
At MEADOWS THE’s $537,500 median and Sarasota County’s adopted 13.48 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,240 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,710 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 2004, 131 MEADOWS THE listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (5 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 44% of MEADOWS THE listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 33%. Momentum’s market-heat index for MEADOWS THE reads 44/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 56% of recorded MEADOWS THE sales in the window ending 2026-06 (9 of 16) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a MEADOWS THE home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
