What is happening in the Sarasota-Manatee real estate market?

According to local Sarasota-Manatee housing data the Opal Homes Group has determined that only 31% of single family homes were affordable to 50% of the US population. Median sale prices surged: Sarasota County rose from $265,000 in 2019 to $405,000 in 2025;

Manatee County climbed from $279,000 to $408,000 in 2025.

Luxury resilience: More than $21.7 billion in luxury real estate has closed since 2020, with a record $845 per sq. ft. in Q4 2024.

Why do Sarasota’s local experts say demand remains strong?

Florida gained over 1 million residents between 2019–2024, ranking #1 nationally in net migration. Sarasota continues to attract buyers with turquoise beaches, cultural vibrancy, and waterfront living. Local experts highlight that the City of Sarasota’s per-capita income is 36% higher than the U.S. average, while its median age of 53.8 reflects strong demand from affluent retirees and investors.

Is Opal Homes Group expanding internationally?

Yes. While Sarasota remains the foundation of their business, Opal Homes Group has strategically expanded into the luxury real estate market of Croatia.
