Property sales up 49 percent in February 2010; pending sales spike
Overall property sales reached 528 in the Sarasota market in February 2010, up nearly 49 percent over February 2009, and pending sales were also strong at 967 – the second highest total in the past four years. The statistics continue to reflect a recovering Sarasota market, as median sale prices also rebounded for condos in February and remained stable for single family homes.
Â
February sales of 379 single family homes and 149 condominiums was a major improvement over February 2009, which saw only 354 overall sales (260 homes and 94 condos). Pending sales, at 967, were about 19 percent higher than last month’s 815, and more than 23 percent higher than the 782 reported in February 2009. The statistic is a strong indicator for the next two or three months of sales, as pending sales are an indicator of current buyer activity, and likely reflects the rush of buyers to qualify for homebuyer tax credits before the April 30th expiration.
