SOUTHFIELD (SARASOTA, FL): 6 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 9-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 96.7% of original asking; the median sale took 9 days (window ending 2026-08-02).

Over the recorded series, SOUTHFIELD’s median sold price moved from $265,500 (2012) to $542,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +104% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $265,500. Against the 2022 peak of $595,000, the current median stands at -9%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 14 closings a year (10-yr average 3.3). With roughly 3.3 closings a year, SOUTHFIELD’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, with a median of 2,177 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $252 in the current window.
Of the 15 recorded SOUTHFIELD closings since 2024, half landed between $530,500 and $609,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $480,000 and the highest $826,325. 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 $500,000 | 2 (13%) | |
| $500,000 – $600,000 | 9 (60%) | |
| $600,000 – $700,000 | 1 (7%) | |
| $700,000 – $800,000 | 1 (7%) | |
| None and up | 2 (13%) |
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 ($281 vs $258) — 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 1,776–2,088 sq ft | $281 | $535,000 | $480,000 – $595,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 2,109–2,364 sq ft | $243 | $575,000 | $480,000 – $599,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 2,407–3,448 sq ft | $258 | $712,500 | $550,000 – $826,325 | 5 |
At SOUTHFIELD’s $542,500 median and Sarasota County’s adopted 13.48 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,310 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,780 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, 55 SOUTHFIELD listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (1 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 35% of SOUTHFIELD listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 25%. Momentum’s market-heat index for SOUTHFIELD reads 44/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 0% of recorded SOUTHFIELD sales in the window ending 2026-06 (0 of 6) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a SOUTHFIELD home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
