Momentum Scores

Momentum Property Score

59/100
Strongest on: Flood safety (95), Insurance cost (56)

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.

This home $964/sq ft vs area median $964/sq ft from recent nearby sales.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate: $1,318,640 – $1,679,400

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.

$1,318,640the mess$1,679,400

Actual list price: $1,499,000 — 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: 17 days on market vs. a ~61-day neighborhood median
  • 4765 active listings competing in CONDO ON THE BAY TOWER II
  • 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 $1,499,000 ($964/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Listing description

About this home

Mesmerizing, unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico set a breathtaking stage from this towering 17th-floor residence at Condo on the Bay, where sky, water and city lights create an ever-changing coastal panorama. Perfectly positioned on a private peninsula in the heart of Sarasota, this home captures elevated waterfront living with a rare sense of openness and tranquility. From sunrise reflections over the bay to golden sunsets across the Gulf, every moment is framed by water. Expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders draw your eye outward, while a spacious, covered balcony offers a front-row seat to passing boats, seabirds and Sarasota’s natural shoreline. Upon entry, the view takes center stage, complemented by a custom built-in buffet with a wine cooler as well as French oak plank flooring. The renovated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, Campbell solid wood cabinetry and striking Cambria quartz countertops that extend seamlessly along the full wall, creating a clean, modern statement. A pass-through design connects the kitchen to the dining and living areas, enhancing light and flow, with additional built-in cabinetry providing generous storage. The living space is thoughtfully designed with a floating media cabinet, a Samsung Frame TV and a Sonos sound bar included. In the primary suite, custom details continue with floating nightstands, a wood canopy bed and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins, while a wall of windows showcases sweeping views of the bay, Longboat Key and the Gulf beyond. Both baths have been fully updated with new cabinetry, tile and countertops and the guest bedroom features an oversized closet with custom built-ins. Tinted glass entry doors throughout the residence add a refined contemporary touch. Residents of Condo on the Bay enjoy a secure, gated environment with 24-hour concierge and security, along with amenities that include two resort-style pools, tennis courts, two fitness rooms, social spaces and a private marina with boat slips available for lease. Kayak launches, a fishing pier and waterfront walking paths further enhance the coastal lifestyle. Directly next to The Bay, Sarasota’s transformative 50-plus-acre waterfront park, residents have immediate access to scenic trails, performance venues, open green space and year-round cultural programming. Downtown Sarasota’s renowned dining, arts and cultural scene is just moments away, along with St. Armands Circle and the white sand beaches of Lido Key. Whether as a full-time residence or seasonal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to own a premier position in Sarasota’s skyline, offering panoramic water views, exceptional amenities and unmatched proximity to downtown coastal living. Furnishings are available on a separate schedule.

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.
