Great reasons to buy real estate in Sarasota Florida

I’ll get to those reasons in just a moment, but first, let your imagination take over for a few minutes and let me ask you a few questions about your goal of buying real estate in Sarasota Florida.

Casey Key Beach Home

What kind of home are you looking for?

  • A cool retreat at the beach?

  • A starter home in a planned community like Palmer Ranch or Lakewood Ranch?

  • Or one in a private country club like The Oaks in Osprey, on a lush, green golf course from which you can see the ninth hole from your pool and lanai?

  • Or a condo with a community pool, clubhouse and workout room?

  • A second home or an investment property?

  • Maybe you’re an empty-nester looking to downsize or retire to the warmer climate here in the Sarasota Sun Coast area and move into a trendy maintenance-free paired Villa or Town Home?

Just a few more questions:

  • Do you need to sell a home before buying and moving?

  • Is your present home on the market?

  • What’s your desired time frame for your new home?

  • Will you be moving from nearby or from across the country?

  • What’s your price range?

  • Are you interested in new construction or a resale home?

  • Are you paying cash, do you have financing lined up or should we get you pre-approved?

  • What features are you looking for in a home?

  • How many bedrooms and bathrooms?

  • Amount of square feet of living space?

  • What area?

Now that you’ve thought about the answers to those questions, let me tell you a little more about Real Estate in Sarasota Florida.

The Sarasota-Venice Real Estate market also encompasses the communities of Osprey and Nokomis, which are between Sarasota and Venice and close to Gulf of Mexico beaches and Sarasota beaches. And of course, the closer the home is to the water, the pricier it will be.

But, then, not everyone is looking for a beach house. You may be one of them. And if so, you’re in luck, because there are more homes, condos, town homes and villas for sale off the water than on the water here in the Sarasota-Venice Real Estate Market.

The home styles and designs are gorgeous and they can range from classy Mediterranean style mansions with beautiful barrel tiled roofs and beach front lanais looking out over the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay or the Intra-coastal waterway to sleek contemporary hideaways and what’s known as the traditional Florida Home, with tiled roofs and screen-enclosed lanais (porches).

When it comes to real estate in Sarasota Florida, there are also new construction homes on the market as well as resale homes from which to select.

Whatever your desire, there’s a home style for you in Sarasota. And with prices ranging from under $100,000 for condos to multi-million dollar estates you should be able to find a home here in paradise.
