Sarasota Real Estate News Update

Sarasota Florida Downtown BayfrontSarasota real estate news continues to hit the web. In May when Dr. Beach, added Siesta Key beach to the 10 Best Beaches in America list, we noticed articles appearing in US News and World Report, several personal Sarasota real estate blogs and just yesterday the New York Times.

Summer real estate showings were brisk this year when we are usually taking a break. The barrier islands of Sarasota get the most attention as we are getting calls for Siesta Key condos, Lido Key and Longboat Key condos too. Mainland Sarasota homes are on the move too!
