Over the recorded series, SOUTH VENICE’s median sold price moved from $98,000 (2012) to $323,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +230% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $98,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — SOUTH VENICE’s median moved +53% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $359,000, the current median stands at -10%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 6 to 429 closings a year (10-yr average 195).
What actually trades here: 100% single-family residence, 0% ?, 0% modular home, with a median of 1,470 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $223 in the current window.
Of the 235 recorded SOUTH VENICE closings since 2024, half landed between $274,500 and $400,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $125,000 and the highest $775,000. 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 $225,000 | 25 (11%) | |
| $225,000 – $308,333 | 61 (26%) | |
| $308,333 – $391,667 | 86 (37%) | |
| $391,667 – $475,000 | 40 (17%) | |
| None and up | 23 (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. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($249 vs $224) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 648–1,280 sq ft | $249 | $260,750 | $125,000 – $435,000 | 78 |
| Mid-size homes 1,286–1,611 sq ft | $234 | $349,450 | $190,000 – $510,000 | 78 |
| Larger homes 1,615–2,532 sq ft | $224 | $410,000 | $265,500 – $775,000 | 79 |
At SOUTH VENICE’s $323,500 median and Sarasota County’s adopted 13.48 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,360 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,830 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 1900, 4605 SOUTH VENICE listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (89 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 60% of SOUTH VENICE listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 36%. Momentum’s market-heat index for SOUTH VENICE reads 31/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 35% of recorded SOUTH VENICE sales in the window ending 2026-06 (113 of 324) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a SOUTH VENICE home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
