Sarasota County vacancy fell from 16.17% to 10.70% year over year, while Manatee County rose from 8.83% to 10.07%.
What it may mean for the marketElevated vacancy and widespread concessions point to ample rental supply and negotiating room, while the downtown pipeline keeps adding units. The site is about 8 miles west of Founders Club.

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 site is about 1 mile west of Founders Club.

What it may mean for the marketThe ice rink will not proceed at the Lakewood Ranch county site for now, leaving sports amenity supply in the area unchanged. The site is about 7 miles northeast of Founders Club.

The Founders Club buying strategy.
If we were buying in Founders Club 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 Founders Club.
A closer look at the Founders Club market
At a median of $584 per square foot, Founders Club prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
The trailing-12-month median down 26% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 79 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.
The housing stock is 246 homes built between 2006 and 2024, and 77% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Founders Club. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
