Sanctuary Ii
Homes for Sale in LONGBOAT KEY, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Sanctuary II is a new-build community — every home in the current MLS snapshot dates to 2022 through 2024, with a median build year of 2023. That means pricing here is driven almost entirely by finish level, lot position, and how a given builder spec'd the home, rather than by decades of deferred maintenance or renovation history you'd see in an older subdivision. Buyers are essentially comparing recent construction to recent construction.
The homestead share sits at 37.1%, meaning a majority of the 272 homes here are not currently claimed as a primary residence for tax purposes. That's worth noting for both sides of a deal: sellers should expect competition from investment-owned units when listing, and buyers should ask directly whether a given home has been owner-occupied or tenant-occupied, since that can affect condition and turnaround timing on a purchase.
The 60-Second Overview
Sanctuary Ii market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $512K ($212 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 9 days on market for closed sales.
Sanctuary Ii is a community of 8 homes in LONGBOAT KEY, Sarasota County, built between 1989 and 1990 (median 1989), with a median living area of about 2,519 square feet. 50% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($512K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 5 sales each (5 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2008 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Sanctuary Ii buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sanctuary Ii 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 Sanctuary Ii.
New construction, unsettled ownership mix
With a median build year of 2023 and no home older than 2022, Sanctuary II reads as a community still in its early occupancy cycle. That has practical upside: buyers aren't inheriting aging roofs, original HVAC systems, or outdated electrical panels. It also means there isn't yet a long resale history to lean on — most transactions here are either builder closeouts or first resales, so comparables should be read carefully rather than assumed.
Current MLS listings don't identify any community amenities for Sanctuary II. That doesn't necessarily mean there are none — it may reflect how the HOA or builder documents this community — but buyers should verify directly rather than assume pool, clubhouse, or recreational features exist. With homestead exemption claimed on only 37.1% of homes, a meaningful share of the community is functioning as non-primary or investment property, which is a factor worth understanding before making an offer or listing decision.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sanctuary Ii. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this new, the details that matter — which builder built which section, what's actually covered under warranty, and whether a specific home has been owner-occupied or rented — aren't always obvious from a listing sheet. We track that at the street level so you're negotiating from facts, not assumptions.
