We get asked a lot, “When is the best time to buy a home here in Sarasota?” Well here is the answer… Based on historical data, the best months to typically get a better deal on a home is between July and October. Those are the months when we have the lightest Buyer traffic and when properties tend to sit on the market a little longer than usual. The old supply and demand law kicks in when we have fewer Buyers and more listings. In these times, there will be more Sellers who will be anxious to sell and can be found to make a better deal for the Buyer than if we were in the middle of our busier selling season. Common sense, I know, but an important piece of information. The data from Credit Suisse also shows our prices can typically be lower during those months. Come down to Sarasota and buy during the summer months! –Joe Cleary
