Momentum Scores

Momentum Property Score

60/100
Strongest on: Flood safety (95), Renovation upside (66)

A rules-based composite of the objective indicators below — each computed from listing facts, public records, and recent nearby sales, not opinion.

How to read it: a higher score means more of these objective measures line up in a buyer’s favor — for example, priced competitively against recent nearby sales, lower carrying costs, or lower flood risk. A lower score means fewer do. It reflects only the indicators below — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability, and nothing about who should live there.

Price vs area50
This home $301/sq ft vs area median $301/sq ft from recent nearby sales.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate: $439,635 – $559,083

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.

$439,635the mess$559,083

Actual list price: $499,900 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen, new roof, or older interior finishes can swing value six figures. Sq ft can't see it.
  • The lot — a premium waterfront, conservation, or cul-de-sac lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
  • Outliers skew it — one flip or one distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
  • Layout & beds/baths — two homes at 2,000 sq ft with 3/2 vs. 4/3 don't sell for the same number.
  • Views & orientation — golf, water, or preserve views aren't in the square footage.
  • Upgrades & systems — solar, pool, impact windows, new HVAC: real money, invisible to a calculator.
  • Unpermitted or mismeasured sq ft — public records are often wrong, and unpermitted additions don't count.
  • Carrying costs — CDD bonds, HOA dues, and flood-zone insurance change what a buyer will actually pay.
  • Timing & concessions — the market moves monthly, and seller-paid rate buydowns hide the true price.
  • School zoning & micro-location — one street over can mean a different school, and a different price.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • This home: 128 days on market vs. a ~61-day neighborhood median
  • 4765 active listings competing in GULF GATE
  • 1546 under contract now
  • 24% of for-sale inventory is currently under contract (under contract + pending, as a share of all for-sale inventory)
  • 916 new-construction homes competing

For reference, this home is listed at $499,900 ($301/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

About this home

Prepare to be impressed. This fully remodeled Gulf Gate gem is a rare opportunity, offering 1,659 square feet of beautifully reimagined living space where luxury meets everyday comfort. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a bright, open-concept layout designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. Expansive sliding glass doors lead to a spacious screened-in lanai, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living — the perfect setting for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or relaxing evenings. The brand-new custom kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring two-tone solid wood cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, and new GE stainless-steel appliances. Every finish was thoughtfully selected to create a refined yet inviting space. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom complete with a new double vanity, designer tile shower, and upgraded fixtures as well as a dedicated recirc pump for near instant hot water. Throughout the home, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior paint, modern lighting, ceiling fans, and new interior doors create a clean, contemporary coastal feel. Major upgrades provide peace of mind for years to come, including a new shingle roof (2026), new HVAC system (2026), new electric panel (2026), new insulation (2026), Water Heater(2026) and fully replumbed drains and supply lines. Additional highlights include a large indoor laundry room with a custom boot bench, a two-car garage, and a triple-wide driveway offering ample parking. Outside, you’ll appreciate one of the home’s most unique and practical features — a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance front yard with no grass to mow. As one of the only homes in the neighborhood designed this way, it offers enhanced curb appeal while significantly reducing upkeep and water usage. Just moments to Siesta Key’s sugar-white sands, this Gulf Gate home offers unmatched convenience — walk to A-rated Gulf Gate Elementary, 5 min to Costco, and a dynamic redevelopment of the former Sarasota Square Mall into a vibrant new retail, dining, and residential hub. This is modern coastal living at its finest — move-in ready and designed to impress. The final image is a rendering of what the backyard could be ( at 37 foot deep and 80 feet wide ) there is plenty of room to add a pool/outdoor kitchen. Buyer’s agent to verify all MLS information including room sizes, utilities, and HOA (if applicable).

Frequently asked questions

Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?

Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Where does the flood-zone information come from?

The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
