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.
