Condo Sales Heat Up in Sarasota MLS

Sarasota Condo Activity Heats Up

It's been awhile since Sarasota condos had significant activity. The condo market may be at the tip of getting another look in Sarasota.

Siesta Key Beach

In May when Dr. Beach published his yearly 10 Best Beaches in America list, telephone calls for Sarasota condos increased. Siesta Key moved up to the no. 2 beach on Dr. Beach's list so Siesta Key condos are getting another look by buyers who want a second home or an investment.

Prices have come down considerably on Siesta Key Beach, like all of Sarasota. Condominiums are popular with baby boomers who want a second home away from the colder areas of the country or as investment for their future retirement here. Many of these buyers having been coming to Siesta Key for decades and now just seems to be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the inventory selection, low interest rates and lower prices.

Siesta Key Beach Condos

Siesta Key beach condos are popular for investment properties as they bring the best rentals. The first thing a renter asks is "how close is it to the beach?" If a condo is close to the water, Siesta Key Village and is in good condition, it brings a higher price than one without these features. Some of the popular complexes with available Sarasota MLS listings are:
