Sarasota real estate FAQs
Is Sarasota a good place to live?+
It's a genuine beach city with a real cultural core — walkable downtown around Five Points, island beaches at Lido and Siesta, and residential pockets like Arlington Park for families. Assigned schools include Southside Elementary, Brookside and Booker Middle, and Sarasota, Riverview, and Booker High. Downtown Tampa is about 67 minutes away when you want a bigger-city day trip.

It sits above the national average but has a wide spread. The median list price is $570,000 with an average of $496 per square foot, and there are 798 listings above $1M alongside more accessible condos — you can browse by price to see the full range from $1,000 lots up to the $29.9M waterfront estates.
What do homes cost in Sarasota?+
The median list price is $570,000, with a median home size around 1,673 square feet at roughly $496 per square foot. Single-family homes make up the largest share at 1,394 listings, while homes with a pool number 844 and gated options reach 704.
How is the Sarasota market right now?+
There are 2,895 active listings and a median 58 days on market, which points to a balanced-to-buyer-friendly market with negotiating room. Watching the just reduced listings is a smart way to spot motivated sellers.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $519 per month, which reflects the heavy condo and villa share, while the median property tax is around $4,592 per year. Fees vary widely by community — the 704 gated communities and amenity-rich condos tend toward the higher end, and single-family homes without an HOA can carry none at all.
