True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of November 2026, the MLS records 28 closed sales in Colony Groves in Sarasota, FL since 2004, the most recent in December 2025. Across Sarasota as a whole, 6 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $503,500, 57 median days on market, with 2,487 homes for sale today. At that median and Sarasota County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.48 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,790 ($6,250 with the full homestead exemption).
Colony Groves is a small, finite pocket of 20 homes built in a tight window from 2000 to 2004, with a median living area around 1,743 square feet. Price here isn't set by amenities or range of product - there are no community amenities identified in the MLS, and the homes are close in age and size. What moves a number is condition, updates since the early-2000s build, and lot specifics. Expect a wide spread between an original-condition house and one that's been renovated.
Right now there are zero active listings and only one closing in the trailing window, so there is no working inventory to shop and no deep comp set to lean on. For a seller, that scarcity can work in your favor - a well-prepared listing has no direct competition. For a buyer, it means patience: you may wait for the right door to open, and when it does, your leverage comes from knowing exactly what updated versus original condition is worth here.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview
Colony Groves is a 20-home enclave in Sarasota built over a short early-2000s span, so the housing stock is consistent in vintage and scale. With no listings currently active, it trades quietly and infrequently rather than as an open, liquid market.
Stellar MLS sales records identify 18 homes in COLONY GROVES that have changed hands since 2004, built between 2000 and 2004 (median 2002), with a median living area of about 1,596 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes.

Who Colony Groves is best for.
Best for
- Buying to hold in a small, low-turnover enclave with consistent early-2000s housing stock
- Buyers who can wait for the right listing rather than shop an open inventory
- Buyers comfortable valuing a home on condition and updates rather than a broad comp set
Probably not for
- Needing to purchase on a tight, fixed timeline
- Wanting community amenities or shared facilities
- Relying on a deep pool of active listings and recent sales to guide an offer

Proposed 324-unit 1899 Fruitville apartment project in downtown Sarasota falls through
A plan by Bristol Development Group for 324 apartments, called 1899 Fruitville, near Fruitville Road and Washington Boulevard is no longer moving forward. Landlords told tenant business owners the project was voided. It had partial city approvals and was reportedly close to final permitting.
What it may mean for the marketThe loss of 324 planned apartments removes expected rental supply near downtown Sarasota and leaves the cottage commercial cluster in place for now. The project is about 21 miles north of Colony Groves, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

Sarasota County opens new $100 million administration building at 1 Apex Road
Sarasota County moved operations into a 121,160 square foot administration building at 1 Apex Road off I-75. It replaces the former building on Ringling Boulevard downtown, which was sold to a developer for about $25 million. Total cost was about $100.15 million, including more than $22 million from a voter-approved surtax.
What it may mean for the marketRelocating county services to the I-75 corridor shifts daily government traffic away from downtown and frees the Ringling Boulevard site for redevelopment. The project is about 20 miles north of Colony Groves, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

The Colony Groves buying strategy.
If we were buying in Colony Groves today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Colony Groves.
A finite pocket that trades on condition
With 20 homes and a median build year of 2002, this is a community where every house is now at an age where major systems, roofs, and interiors are the real variables. The living area clusters near 1,743 square feet, so you're largely comparing like-sized homes - which pushes the price conversation squarely onto finishes, maintenance history, and lot. The absence of community amenities keeps carrying costs simpler but also means the home itself has to carry the value.
A homestead share of 45 percent suggests a mix of long-term owner occupancy and homes held for other uses, which can affect how often units turn over and how they're maintained. With one closing in the trailing window and nothing active, the data set is thin - a reminder to price and negotiate off verifiable condition and recent comparable sales rather than assumptions.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Colony Groves. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 20-home community with no active listings and sparse recent sales, the usual comp math breaks down. We track this pocket closely, read condition against vintage, and help you set or test a price when there's little public signal to rely on. For sellers, that means positioning in a no-competition window; for buyers, it means being ready to move when a rare listing surfaces.
