The Islands of Sarasota 2011 Year End Market Report

2011 Sarasota’s Islands Year End

LUXURY REAL ESTATE

MARKET REPORT

Heritage. Tradition. Expertise.

The Islands of Sarasota 2011 Year End Market Report I am pleased to present my annual review of the key market indicators that have impacted real estate values on Sarasota’s Islands. The information has been categorized by price point with market specific data compiled from information provided by the Sarasota Board of Realtors Multiple Listing Service. The report analyzes data from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, tracking significant trends that occurred during this period. I am providing this information in order to forecast market trends that are likely to occur during the coming year; I believe the only way buyers, sellers and homeowners in general, can make informed decisions about real estate is to have the most current and comprehensive information available.

Historically, both the housing market and our economy have been cyclical. Thankfully, after years of declining real estate values in the Sarasota area as a whole, a turn-around in the real estate market may be at hand, at least on Sarasota’s Islands.

An analysis of key market indicators reflect mixed results for 2011 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. Siesta Key, Bird Key, Anna Maria Island and Manasota Key showed an increase in average sales prices. Lido/St. Armands, Longboat Key, Casey Key and Venice Island didn’t fare as well, and experienced a drop in average sales prices during 2011. Overall data does suggest that a significant recovery may be underway in real estate values on Sarasota’s Islands.

The recovery is a result of a myriad of different factors. Sellers have become more realistic and prices have begun to stabilize.

Buyers that have remained on the sidelines for the past five years now appear to have the confidence to move forward with future plans. Due to prices that reflect as far back as 2000-2001 values, coupled with some of the lowest financing rates in over 30 years, housing affordability is at its highest point since the early 1970’s. As more buyers return to the market to take advantage of buying opportunities, their presence will most likely stimulate other buyers to do the same in 2012.

Should you have questions about information contained in this report, or if you would like to receive our quarterly update, please contact me. If you would like information on the condominium market or a specific community or area, I would be pleased to provide custom reports to you.

If you are considering a move or would like a professional opinion of your home’s value and marketability in today’s market, please call or email to learn how the unique differences in using Judie Berger and Premier Sotheby’s can benefit you.

SARASOTA ISLES REAL ESTATE REPORT

Anna Maria Island

In 2011, inventory levels on Anna Maria have dropped below a 12 month supply and average prices have appeared to stabilize. This indicates that pries will remain stable, however, home values at over one million may see price declines in 2012 due to stubbornly high inventory levels

Bird Key

Bird Key experienced a significant jump in sales activity and prices last year compared to 2010. This can be attributed to lower inventory levels than in any other island areas. As these trends continue, expect to see a full market recovery in 2012.

Longboat Key

Prices in 2011 were flat despite a strong increase in sales activity. This is probably due to the fact that inventory levels remain high. Excessive inventory levels of properties priced over one million could lead to additional price decline in 2012

St. Armands/Lido Key

The luxury markets in St. Armands & Lido Key are still struggling, but as we continue to see the surrounding areas improve, this luxury area will start to see a modest recovery as well.

Siesta Key

Siesta Key still has a higher than average number of homes for sale (12.9 months supply vs a normal 6 months). However, sales activity and prices increased significantly last year as compared to 2010. Expect to see stronger sales activity followed by rising prices as inventory levels decline further in 2012.

Casey Key

Strong sales activity in on Casey Key has led to stabilized prices for properties priced under 2 million. Expect price stabilization to continue and sales activity to remain strong in 2012

Venice Island

Strong sales activity in 2011 stabilized prices on Venice Island. Inventory levels have declined to a near-normal 6 months supply of homes for sale. Expect average sales prices of homes in the under $500,000 category to show an increase in 2012.

Manasota Key

Inventory levels remained very high on Manasota Key in 2011. This situation will likely lead to continued price declines for properties valued over one million, however, homes priced below one million could see an increase in prices as inventory levels drop.
