Downtown Sarasota luxury condo sales - residential condominiums in the $1 million-and-up category - are booming through the roof. According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, in the twelve-month period ending in May 2012, downtown luxury condo sales soared by more than 50% over sales in the previous 12 months, 33 sales versus 21 in the preceding 12 months. That surge is exciting news, indicating a reversal after 5 successive years of declining sales. Overall downtown condo sales in all price ranges increased in the same 12 months by a somewhat more modest 3.4%.
With housing prices still low as the recovery slowly begins picking up steam, and with interest rates still at all-time historic lows, it's a great time to buy a luxury condo -- or even a luxury home or a waterfront mansion -- in or near Sarasota.
As Sarasota's?downtown condo?sales surged, the inventory of available condos in the market fell to its lowest level ever. Not to worry: plenty of choice properties are still available for the well-prepared buyer. It's simply that a low inventory level makes the current sales surge even more remarkable.
Of course, those of us who know and love Sarasota aren't a bit surprised that so many buyers want to get in on the current action. Sarasota's?Siesta Key Beach?was named the "Best Beach in America" in 2011, and Sarasota has perennially been a hugely popular destination for vacationers and retirees. Sarasota's reputation as a leading cultural, educational, and recreational community is known around the world. And our average year-round temperature of 73 degrees makes the active Florida lifestyle possible almost 365 days a year.
