2012 Siesta Key Year-End Luxury Real Estate Report I am pleased to present my annual review of key market indicators that have impacted real estate values on Siesta Key in the past year. I am providing this information to forecast market trends that are likely to occur in 2013. I believe the only way buyers, sellers and homeowners can make informed decisions is to have the most current and comprehensive information available. As a 17-year Siesta Key resident, I understand the significance of having accurate, detailed information that is specific to our island.

Historically, both the housing market and economy have been cyclical. After years of declining real estate values, a turnaround in the market is at hand. My analysis of the indicators reflect mixed results for 2012 when compared to a year earlier. Sales activity on most of the islands increased, and inventory levels remained stable or decreased. Average sales prices varied by island—Bird Key, St. Armands, Lido Key, Siesta Key and Venice Island showed an increase in average sales prices. Overall, data suggests that a significant recovery is underway in real estate values on Sarasota’s islands.

Should you have questions about information contained in this report, or if you would like to receive my first quarter update, please contact me.

Looking forward to a successful 2013!

All the best,

Judie Berger

ISLANDS REAL ESTATE REPORT 1 Anna Maria Island

In 2012, inventory levels dropped to an 8-month supply and average prices decreased slightly. This indicates that prices should begin to stabilize (as they have with homes valued at over $1 million), due to the drop in inventory levels.

1

2 Longboat Key

Sales activity in 2012 remained flat despite a strong increase in prices. This is probably due to the fact that inventory levels remain high. Excessive inventory levels of properties priced over $1 million could lead to additional price declines in 2013.

3 Bird Key

2

Sales activity and prices remained flat in 2012 as compared to 2011. Inventory has increased slightly, but still remains at a healthy level compared to other island areas. As these trends continue, expect to see a full market recovery in 2013.

4 St. Armands and Lido Key

4

The luxury markets are improving, and as we continue to see the surrounding areas improve, this luxury area will continue its recovery as well.

3 4 5

5 Siesta Key

Siesta Key still has a higher than average number of homes for sale (8-month supply versus a normal 6-month). However, sales activity and prices increased significantly last year as compared to 2011. Expect to see stronger sales activity followed by rising prices as inventory levels decline further in 2013.

6 Casey Key

6

Strong sales activity has led to an increase in prices. Expect price stabilization to continue and sales activity to remain strong in 2013.

7 Venice Island

Strong sales activity in 2012 led to an increase in prices. Inventory levels have stabilized at a normal 6-month supply of homes for sale.

Expect sales activity and prices to show an increase in 2013.

8 Manasota Key

7

Inventory levels decreased slightly but still remain very high. This situation will likely lead to continued price declines until inventory levels drop further.
