Last weekend on The Duncan Duo Real Estate Show on 970WFLA, Andrew Duncan spoke with David Diaz about the EOY 2015 real estate statistics for Sarasota and Manatee Counties.  They discussed how prices have risen as have the # of sales, but that condo and townhome values are starting to soften.  They also compared the stats to Tampa’s home sales stats and discussed how the peak periods in the 2 markets are different (Sarasota can see a peak in winter months due to population increase, retirees/vacation buyers) whereas Tampa’s strongest months are generally in the summer (December due to homestead exemption still continues to do well though).  However, the 2 markets do not see large fluctuations in # of sales like northern states do in the winter.If you are considering getting into the real estate business in Tampa Bay or becoming a Realtor in Tampa, send us an email at [email protected]or click here to visit the Tampa Real Estate Careers Page on our website.  This video blog has an immense amount of information about our team model and its differences vs typical Tampa Real Estate Brokerages as well as videos from our radio show, testimonials from Tampa real estate agents on our team, and our social channels twitter, youtube, instagram, and facebook.
