Community pages: Seaire, The Sanctuary at Seaire, Woodland Preserve, Encore at Rye Ranch, EverCreek, Esplanade at Cammaray, Edgewater at Wellen Park, Sandpiper Pointe, Eastlyn and Arbour Lake Preserve. Recent sale prices are on the Parrish, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Englewood, Palmetto, Bradenton and Sarasota market pages.
How do new-home prices compare with recent sales?
Our September 2026 Stellar MLS Market Pulse, with closings through October 24, recorded these single-family figures:
| County | September single-family sales | Median price | Change from a year earlier | Below county peak | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sarasota | 616 | $480,000 | +3.3% | 5.7% | 42.5 |
| Manatee | 576 | $485,000 | +3.2% | 11.8% | 46 |

Six of the seven communities with a listed price start below those medians, counting SageLeaf's quick move-in homes. Mandarin Grove and Woodland Preserve start more than $100,000 under the Manatee median. Eastlyn's plans and the Seaire 50-foot homes start within about $45,000 of it, and Arbour Lake Preserve is a luxury outlier.

Limitations
The tracker lists communities found on builder pages, developer releases and new-home listing sites, checked on the dates shown. It is not a complete list of every community in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Communities are counted once; separate collections in the same master plan are counted when the builder lists them as separate communities. Statuses, prices and fees come from those pages on the date checked and change often. Starting prices are not sale prices. County medians are September 2026 single-family closings in our Stellar MLS feed and may be revised.
