Bird Key Real Estate

Yesterday a gentleman from Michigan called for information on Bird Key real estate. He said he had visited Miami and some areas of Arizona but Bird Key was his favorite for pursuing real estate. I was driving out to Longboat Key to check on some property for a customer so I asked him to send me an email. He was also looking for a "deal". We hear that every day now.

Update on Bird Key real estate:

There are 53 homes for sale on Bird Key listed in the Sarasota MLS at prices starting at $599,900. The highest priced home on Bird Key is $14,900,000, a waterfront estate on Seagull Lane. In the last six months, there have been 16 closings and 8 Bird Key homes are under contract according to MLS data. Thanks to a blog reader this search data has been corrected!

With inventory levels high, many sellers are motivated to sell. Sellers have reduced their properties considerably and seem to be holding as pointed out in the Sarasota real estate market statistics this month. Making an offer and negotiating a price will be a win/win right now. Many want to sell their property and move on with their lives and are willing to go lower. Make an offer and see if the home you want may just be the deal instead of searching for distressed properties, short sales and foreclosures.

If you are interested in Bird Key real estate or other Sarasota properties, contact Annette Smith, the Herron Group, RE/MAX Alliance Group at 941-504-3922.

Toast to Sarasota Real Estate Market Uptrend

Saturday I went with my friend and fellow realtor, Sandy Whitehead to see the acclaimed new movie Sex and the City. We loved the movie and headed for Ceviche, one of downtown Sarasota's new dining hotspot afterwards. Sandy and I used to comment on what a great building the old Times Building was as far back as 2000 when we each moved to Sarasota from Atlanta and Miami. The new owners have done a superb job of restoring and creating a unique dining spot in the heart of the city -- it seemed a perfect place to have a glass of wine and talk about the Saraosta real estate market. If you'd like a fun place for dining, try the tapas at Ceviche and toast an uptrend in our real estate market!

Sunday I held a great open house on Casey Key at 708 Casey Key Road. This charming Key West style cottage is spotless and includes furniture along with a view of the Bay. Details are on our Casey Key real estate site. After a nice thunderstorm that cooled off the island, I headed to a cookout at another Casey Key listing, right on the beach. The Herrons, Nick and Kathleen called and invited Snuffy and I to check out the new loggerhead sea turtle's nest in the backyard of the "beach house" listing.
The loggerheads are incredible and like all beachgoers seem to return to their favorite beach. Nick cooked delicious hamburgers and everyone went to the beach for an incredible sunset!

Here's to beachgoing, toasts, sunsets and a fairytale lifestyle in Sarasota!

Sarasota Real Estate

Some of the most beautiful Sarasota real estate is in downtown Sarasota. Condos on Gulfstream across the Trail from Marina Jack's provide owners a beautiful view of the water and the marina.

About 6ish on Wednesday evening, my good friend and customer from Cleveland, Ohio met me for a nice dinner at Marina Jack's. Marina Jack's has casual music at its outdoor bar and the best cocktail sunset in Sarasota! Try the Santa Fe wrap for a light meal. The wine is excellent also.

Claudia and I walked along the marina picking out our favorite boats as the harbor twinkled. Downtown Sarasota condos are numerous in the MLS providing buyers quite an array of features. An urban lifestyle is a new way of life for many who want the amenities a city has to offer and the convenience of walking to each destination. With today's gas prices, walking is very popular! For a list of downtown sarasota condos including 100 Central, Plaxa at Five Points and 1350 Main, give call the Herron Group for all your Sarasota real estate.

Celebrating Memorial Day at Lido Beach Club with Friends and Family

Friends and Family Gather at Lido Beach Club

Lido Beach Club is located directly on Lido Beach, Sarasota Florida, right next door to the Ritz-Carlton Beach Residences. My friend and customer, Marsha Albert and her husband Bob purchased their unit in 2000. The Alberts enjoy the amenities of the Lido beach living and their family visits often. Marsha and I have been friends for over 30 years so Scott, Snuffy and I were included in the Alberts family gathering on Memorial Day. Pictured are Marsha's daughter Lesli Kay, The Bold and the Beautiful with her children, Jackson and Alec Coulouris and brother Michael Pushkin. Zelda Pushkin is Lesli's niece and Snuffy often writes about her on his friends page. Zelda's parents are David, an artist, and Grace Pushkin of New York City, Marsha's son and daughter-in-law.

We didn't see much of Jackson this weekend because David was giving his nephew an art class. A model drove to Lido from her home in Bradenton to pose for this 7 year old protege. David has a new business on the horizon! He's an excellent artist and teacher. New Yorkers get out those checkbooks and call David Pushkin for a private art class.

Michael Pushkin, "Uncle Mike", Marsha's youngest son, grew up with my son Scott. They attended elementary, junior high and high school together. Michael once saved Scott's life in the parking lot of George Washington High School. The boys haven't seen each other in years. Mike is pictured with his nephew Alec.

Memorial Day is a day to remember our fallen soldiers, enjoy our family and old friends -- a day of remembrance of hardship, struggles, sacrifice and HOPE!

If you thought you saw a celebrity on St. Armands Circle, this weekend, you probably did. You can catch Lesli Kay as Felicia Forrester from 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm EST. Lesli took care of my kids when she was a teenager and worked at my shop, Kitchen Kaboodle too. I'm quite proud to call Lesli my friend, a wonderful mamma and an accomplished actress!
