With warmer weather upon us, locals and vacationers alike are enjoying all that sunny Sarasota has to offer. Interested in purchasing a home or condo so you can join in on the fun? Let me catch you up on what’s new in SRQ real estate.

The SRQ area is currently experiencing an inventory shortage. As a result, those looking to buy are having a hard time finding the dream home or condo they envision. With this low availability typically comes a dramatic increase in price, but surprisingly, that isn’t the case at this time.

I have also noticed an influx in the number of millennials looking to purchase a home as of late. According to the National Association of Realtors, this trend holds true across the country. Millennials, those born 1980-1998, account for 36% of homebuyers, according to a study by NAR. Experts expect this percentage to climb in the coming years as millennials begin to “move out”– both literally and figuratively – of their renting phase and purchase a home or condo.

Although inventory is low, the Chapman Group has some stellar properties available that will certainly appeal to homebuyers of any generation.
