Sarasota Real Estate Up For The Picking

Sarasota, Florida – As a result of the worldwide credit crunch that had brought the country on the throes of recession, over 40,000 foreclosures have been reported in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties in Florida, up to September of last year alone, which have consequently slashed the prices of real estate by at least 50 percent off their previous highs.

Real estate properties reached record numbers during the real estate boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s only to burst in mid-2005. According to estimates, the southern Florida County has over 100,000 properties which are up for grabs, some of which fetch for inexpensive prices mainly due to the financial crisis.

The median prices of homes, as reported by the Florida Association of Realtors, have reverted to how they were six years ago in 2002, currently pegged at roughly $160,000 as of December 2008.

Both property buyers and sellers can look at Sellsarasota.com to, respectively, take advantage of the drop in property prices in Sarasota and solve their housing problems via selling. The Florida Company specializes on homes and condos, by tailor-fitting your search for property with your desired price range. The listings, according to the website, number to over 100,000 with over 8,000 being in foreclosure or near-foreclosure that will understandably accelerate closing the sale.

“This will go down as one of the best buyer’s market in history,” says Jose Lopez, a Sarasota, Florida Realtor and owner of SellSarasota.com

Among the available properties include those in the exclusive and highly sought after Longboat Key area, with waterfront homes and great beaches; the architecturally diverse Sarasota waterfront homes that are often compared to Old Florida; luxury homes in the wealthy Casey Key area; as well as Sarasota golf course real estate and downtown condos found throughout the city.
