Congratulations to John Woodward of Sarasota Real Estate Group for his recent sale of this wonderful canal front home. It’s just a quick zip out to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico where the buyer anticipates many sun set cruises and days spent fishing. This pool home features
Congratulations to John Woodward of Sarasota Real Estate Group for his recent sale at Islands West on Longboat Key located at 2525 Gulf of Mexico Drive.
John’s advice was to contract before the fall so as to not get caught up in competition with other buyers that traditionally enter the market this time of year. The savvy buyer agreed and sprang into action before the snowbirds descended onto our area. That turned out to be a good move and netted the new owners the lowest priced unit sold in Islands West over the past six months. Smart, very smart.
Islands West is an affordable, gulf side, pet friendly condominium on Longboat Key. Situated mid-Key, residents can
The Sarasota Real Estate market continues to show strength and there are few opportunities to buy at the lowest price in the neighborhood today. Here is the chance! This home boasts a pool, a quiet cul-de-sac location with a view out the back that doesn't include looking directly into the back of another homeowner's home.
With two-bedrooms and two-full baths, this great room plan residence is perfect for the first time home-buyer or the budget minded homeowner. Features include high ceilings, an efficient kitchen and breakfast nook along with a formal dining room. Loads of low maintenance tile is throughout. The large master has a walk-in closet and opens to the lanai and pool deck.
John Woodward just sold another luxury property in Sarasota. This time it is a Penthouse residence located at the Renaissance. Situated just north of Fruitville Road at 750 N. Tamiami Trail, the Renaissance is probably one of the most under-rated buildings in town. A newer building with all the modern amenities like a fitness center, Olympic size pool, a business center, a grand entertaining/part room, secure parking and guest suites along with the opportunity to have full bay views would cause any buyer to believe prices would be well
We just put this great 2 bedroom corner unit condo on the market in Bradenton, FL for an super amazing price of $80,000. The unit is nicely upgraded and ready to go! It is conveniently located just steps away from the world famous IMG entrance. For those who are not familiar with IMG it used to be called the Nick Bolletieri Tennis Academy. Nick still coaches full time every day if he is not on the road and is known for working with top players such as Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Monica Seles. I personally
The Sarasota Real Estate market continues to show strength in total units sold, average price per square foot and average sale price. Market time is tightening for non-bank involved sales and the list price to sales price ratio is improving. Annual levels are at almost record levels and the shorter term is looking quite healthy as well.
Unit Sales – Q1 2013 vs. 2014
Overall unit sales were flat as compared to Q1 of 2013 but are showing a shift away from short sales. The underlying make up of total unit sales show significant improvement in non-bank sales which are making up the decrease in short sales. What we started to pick up in the 2013 end of year report was the almost two-thirds drop in closed short sales. We view this as a signal that distressed properties are having less impact in the overall market. We believe that sellers may be less inclined to short sale their homes due to the expiration of the deficiency waivers allowed for underwater home owners.
Occasionally real estate professionals are confronted with a unique property where comps don’t exist or recent neighborhood sales are of little use. This is where agent experience and patience can pay off for the ultimate win-win situation as was the case here with the sale of
Congratulations to John Woodward of Sarasota Real Estate Group for his latest Longboat Key sale.
It’s was clearly the view that sold this top floor condo. With sweeping bay views of Sarasota bay, it almost hard to believe that such beauty could be had for under $300,000. Recently renovated inside along with a total exterior facelift this year, the experience of owning what feels like a new condo at an affordable price is exactly what the new owners found.
