Longboat Key Real Estate Sales Report

July 2007 Gulf and Bay Condo Sales on Elegant Longboat Key, FL

This past week I attended a close friend and fellow Realtor's funeral in Hilton Head SC. The heat in Hilton Head was awful and no ocean breezes. Sarasota is hot, but we aren't experiencing the horrible temperatures and heat indexes of some of the other states. We are in a drought with water restrictions but so is half the country. After a nice rain last night, today in Sarasota is delightful.

Returning to Florida this week, and back to work selling waterfront and golf Sarasota real estate, I searched the sales stats for Longboat Key condo sales for July while pulling listings for the Herron Group's upcoming showings. Over 20 condos, from a slightly over 1000 sq.ft condo at Longboat Harbor, "with great open views," to a spectacular Gulf end unit at the Sanctuary sold last month. Prices of the Longboat Key condos sold from $280,000 to $1,750,000, respectively.

There are over 100 waterfront condominiums with views of the Gulf of Mexico or Sarasota Bay currently listed in the Sarasota MLS on Longboat Key, FL. Price ranges for direct Gulf front views are from the low $400,000s for an older condo building with little sq.ft. to over $4 million for a new condo with fabulous amenities.
