Q2 2021 Market Snapshot: Sarasota, Manatee, & Charlotte County

Life on Florida’s Suncoast remained fast-paced in the second quarter of 2021. Our sales associates were busy and seasonal visitors seemed to stay a little longer into summer possibly making up for lost time. Home sales continued strong, and Michael Saunders & Company ended the quarter number one in sales volume for both the luxury and general residential market. We garnered a 25% market share for luxury residences, homes $1 million and above, and a 14% share for the general market. Second-quarter proved that it was a great time to sell across Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. Sellers experienced two months of inventory in the luxury market with the general market seeing less than one month of inventory. However, all signs point to the fact that consumer confidence remains high for both buying and selling residences as migration to the Gulf Coast continues to build.
