May Prospective
May Market Sense
All – As we close out the first week in May, I hope this communication finds you all safe and healthy. Given the current global circumstances, I can confidently say the real estate market, specific to Sarasota, remains steady with a slight upward trend. MLS is reporting for Sarasota/Manatee counties, 354 Active Listings, 411 Pending Listings and 406 Sold Listings. That’s up 95 Actives, 29 Pendings and 153 Solds from one week prior.
Regarding my own book of business, I have seen an uptick in showing requests as well as buyers interested in purchasing properties in many areas of Sarasota. In person as well as virtual showings are two options available if you are interested in seeing a particular residence. That said, several of my listings now have an added layer of functionality in the form of a Matterport 3-D virtual tour. This particular technology allows the user to essentially be “in” the residence without actually being on site. A big thanks to the www.hoverbureau.com for producing the tours for us. You can access the Matterports by going to my website, choose a specific property and then click the virtual tour icon.
Lastly, please take a moment to listen to the following weekly address from Michael and Drayton.
