The REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee (RASM) has released its April 2025 real estate market report, offering a comprehensive analysis of key trends across both counties. According to data from Florida REALTORS®, the housing market in Sarasota and Manatee counties may be showing early signs of leveling off, particularly as the rapid pace of inventory growth begins to slow. While inventory levels remain elevated compared to last year, the month-overmonth increases have started to moderate, hinting at a potential stabilization. This shift could signal a more balanced environment ahead, where buyer demand and available supply begin to align more closely.
Key Trends in Sarasota/Manatee April 2025:
• Median Sale Price Trends: All segments reported a year-over-year decline in median and
average sale prices.
• Inventory Growth Slowing: While overall inventory remains higher year-over-year, the pace of
growth is beginning to moderate—indicating a potential shift toward market stabilization as new
listings and pending inventory increases begin to level off.
• Closed Sales Trends: Closed sales remained relatively steady across most segments, with only
slight year-over-year changes—suggesting consistent buyer activity despite shifting market conditions.
