2010-The Year of Waterfront Living in Sarasota

The tides are turning....

In the first 60 days of 2010, 46 waterfront homes with list prices over $1 million have either closed or under contract in Sarasota.

We still have some great properties in our inventory...but, showings are way up over last year and people are buying their dream homes on Sarasota's waterfront!

LUXURY SARASOTA HOMES SELLING

This week, two ultra-luxury homes went under contract! Both on water, both incurred dramatic price reductions and both had been on the market for quite some time. We have said it many times before, we never know when the buyer will come and " it only takes one"...one buyer who has to have it!

One buyer is swooping up 1538 N. Casey Key Road listed at $8,295,000. This Gulf-to-bay stone manse was originally listed with a smaller property next door for $20,035,000 in March 2007. The second home to go under contract is a lovely $8,999,000 Lido Shores residence directly on New Pass originally listed for $11,000,000 in October 2006.

There are some terrific opportunities in the luxury waterfront home selections in Sarasota. The SalkinSoublis listing at 1204 Hillview Drive is a perfect example of a gorgeous home with a great address and awe-inspiring water views. This never lived-in Bayfront six bedroom home in exclusive Harbor Acres is on the market for $8,500,000 (reduced from $11,400,000).
