Hourglass Lakes is a small, built-out pocket of about 80 homes in Venice, all dating to a tight 1981 - 1987 window with a median build year of 1983. With nothing currently active on the MLS, there is no live inventory to price against - value here is set by condition, lot, and how much a given home has been updated since the early '80s, not by a range of competing listings.
The posture is quiet. One closing in the recent window and zero active listings means thin data and slow turnover, which is typical of an older, stable enclave where owners tend to stay put. For a seller, limited competition can work in your favor if your home shows well; for a buyer, patience matters - you may wait for the right home to surface rather than choose from several at once.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

VA plans 109,688-square-foot clinic on Lakewood Ranch Boulevard to replace Sarasota facility
The VA has awarded a construction lease for a two-story clinic at 2390 Lakewood Ranch Boulevard that would replace the current Sarasota VA Clinic. The building is in design, with construction projected to start in late 2027. Planned services include primary care, mental health, audiology, optometry, dental and telehealth, with more than 120,000 patients served annually.
What it may mean for the marketA larger outpatient campus on the Lakewood Ranch Boulevard corridor adds health-care jobs and a major service destination for east Sarasota and west Manatee commutes. The project is about 18 miles north of Hourglass Lakes, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

Venice council advances 12-month moratorium on data center development
Venice City Council unanimously passed the first reading of a 12-month moratorium on data center development. A second reading and final vote was set for October 27, 2026. Sarasota County, Manatee County and North Port have taken similar steps.
What it may mean for the marketA pause on large-load data center projects shapes how vacant commercial and industrial land in the Venice area may be used while the city studies the issue. The site is about 6 miles northwest of Hourglass Lakes.

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 22 miles north of Hourglass Lakes, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

The first floor would hold radiation oncology, clinics, infusion and imaging, with a shelled second floor and a third floor for endoscopy and gastroenterology. Preliminary work has begun and the build-out is planned for 2028, pending permits.
What it may mean for the marketAdded oncology and outpatient capacity in Venice would improve healthcare access and create medical jobs in south Sarasota County. The site is about 5 miles northwest of Hourglass Lakes.

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 21 miles north of Hourglass Lakes, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

The Hourglass Lakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hourglass Lakes 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 Hourglass Lakes.
A built-out 1980s pocket
The housing stock is remarkably consistent: every home was built within a six-year span, and the median living area of 1,989 square feet points to single-story homes of comparable footprint. That uniformity makes condition the real variable - two homes of similar size can differ widely depending on roof, systems, and interior updates completed over the past four decades.
With a homestead share around 56%, more than half of these homes are owner-occupied as primary residences, which tends to correlate with longer holds and slower turnover. No community amenities surface in current MLS listings, so buyers should treat this as a straightforward residential neighborhood and weigh its Venice location and lot characteristics rather than shared facilities.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hourglass Lakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Thin inventory and infrequent sales make this a neighborhood where local timing and condition read matter more than a comp sheet. We track what actually moves here, help you judge an early-1980s home's systems and updates honestly, and position you to act when the right listing finally appears - or to stand out as a seller when competition is scarce.

What it really costs to own in Hourglass Lakes
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| HOA dues | Median $167/month across 9 MLS listings (most billed quarterly; 2026-11-07). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study. |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Sarasota County is $2,126/yr (4,849 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1982 across 8 listings. An original roof here would be about 44 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
