Casey Key Real Estate Sales Update


2007 Real Estate Sales on Private Casey Key, FL

This past week I went to a mini reunion with five childhood girlfriends in Greenville, MS, my hometown. If you haven't eaten at Doe's Eat Place, you might want to consider a trip to the Mississippi Delta. Doe's famous hot tamales, steaks and fried shrimp haven't changed in the 55 plus years I've been dropping in, mouth watering delicious! Mary, Suzanne, Patricia, Teegie and Francine pictured
with yours truly enjoying all of Doe's specialties. If you can still move after eating at Doe's be sure to stop by a blues club near the levee, or drive about an hour to Ground Zero in Clarksdale owned by Francine's husband Bill Luckett and Morgan Freeman. Yes, the Morgan Freeman of Evan Almighty, the driver of Miss Daisy! Francine's Bill will give you an autograph, and you can relax and listen to the best of Delta blues.

Back in Sarasota, and back to work selling Sarasota real estate, I pulled the Casey Key sales stats for the last six months doing some research for a listing presentation. Seven single family homes, from beachfront cottages to mega gulf to bay estates have sold since the first of this year. Prices of the Casey Key homes sold from $2.2 million with the value in the land to $6.9 million for new homes with all the architectural details you would expect in luxury real estate.

There are approximately 50 waterfront properties currently listing in the Sarasota MLS for Casey Key, FL. Prices ranges from the low $1 millions to over $20 million. If you are looking for land to build a beach estate or a newly constructed mansion on the Gulf of Mexico, Annette Smith is experienced in waterfront real estate sales and are ready to assist you in the Casey Key real estate market.

Sarasota Real Estate Market Update


Pending Sales Remain High as April 2007 Sales Dip

From the Sarasota MLS statistics, real estate sales for April 2007 looked a lot like April of last year. A total of 363 homes and 179 condominiums were sold, compared to 353 homes and 192 condominiums in the previous year. Overall both homes and condos sales in Sarasota were 542 in April compared to 545 sales in 2006.

Year to date sales this year were up more than 14 percent over last year which continue to show recovery in the Sarasota market. SAR President Joe Hembree, said "typically, a recovery in the real estate market begins with stabilization, followed by a return to a normal rate of sales and property appreciation" The Sarasota market seems to be leading the state of Florida to a recovery.

Pending sales in 2007 reported: in January 383, in February 565, 705 pending sales in March. April 2007's pending sales of 609 were off from March but higher than recent months.
