Positano - New Sarasota Florida Luxury Condos on the Beach

Constructed in 2007, the Positano condos in Longboat Key offer residents with an unparalleled level of security and privacy as well as access to a variety of amenities. In addition, each unit features a number of luxury features that allow residents to fully enjoy all that Longboat Key has to offer.


Since Positano in Longboat Key is a relatively new development, it is built to all of the latest building codes. In addition, each unit features some of the most popular modern amenities, including high ceilings, large windows and spacious terraces, all of which allow residents to easily take in the magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico whether inside or out. With private elevators used to access each of the units within this low-density community, which is home to only 29 units, residents also enjoy a high level of privacy and security.

In addition to the luxury amenities found within each unit at Positano on Longboat Key, residents of the condo development also enjoy access to a variety of onsite amenities. Some of these include a clubhouse, exercise facilities and private swimming pools. Thanks to the community’s location in the middle of the island, residents are also only a short drive away from all of the island’s attractions as well as downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle.

Sarasota Real Estate Market Update 2011

The Sarasota real estate market continues to see investors and bargain hunters grab foreclosures and short sales.  According to a press release from the Sarasota Association of Realtors, dated today, inventory is at a six year low and sales are up.

This time last year sales totaled 528 and currently for the same time period sales are up 27 percent to 673 total sales.  Members of the Sarasota MLS closed on 472 single family homes and 201 condominiums in February 2011.

There is also more good news for the Sarasota real estate market as pending sales figures are up too.  The pending sales are good indications that the Sarasota real estate market's buyer activity is still strong.  Possibly we are headed for a more traditional market in Sarasota as there are certainly good indicators.
