It’s high summer in Sarasota, but don’t believe our real estate market has gone cold. Sarasota is the #2 market in the country for relocations and the options of where to locate can be overwhelming. What is it about the location that makes it so vital to real estate? The condition and price of any home can be changed. You can even change the size of the residence. The one thing you can’t change is the home’s location. Location matters even inside the neighborhood, the ‘micro-markets’ will have a large impact on price and your overall enjoyment of the home.
As your real estate advisor, there is a wealth of knowledge that I can share with you. In my newsletters, I will be featuring a deep dive into communities to help you focus on the options, and what’s most important to you. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.
If you’d like to explore the real estate market, neighborhoods and options, let me be your real estate advisor — give me a call at 941-376-5311.

Often called the jewel in Sarasota Bay, Bird Key is entirely made up of single-family homes. it is where beautiful sunsets and tropical waters converge every evening. It’s where I chose to live! Bird Key is located between Downtown Sarasota and St. Armand’s Circle.The island is approximately 250 acres and has three distinct classifications of luxury homes which are named based upon their location on the island. The classifications are Garden Homes (non-waterfront), Canal Homes, and Bay-front homes. Residents of Bird Key reap the benefits of living a vacation lifestyle on a sunny island, but are still only a 5-minute drive from downtown Sarasota. Housed in a 1914 mansion – the first in Sarasota – Bird Key Yacht Club is an observance of history and a local community hub. The club welcomes members from all over, but many are from Bird Key itself. The club has boat slips, tennis courts, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a fitness center with classes, and group activities. Real estate agents who know the history of Bird Key marvel at the fact that it was once purchased for just $25 by a developer from Ohio in 1911. Ten years later, American circus legend John Ringling acquired the island, dredged it for expansion and connected it to Sarasota and other barrier islands by means of a network of causeways.

Take the Trolley From the Airport
Tourists and residents flying into Sarasota Bradenton International Airport will, before long, be able to take a trolley to downtown Sarasota. The shuttle service, which will also go from downtown to the airport, will run every 20 to 30 minutes, according to Sarasota County’s plans. County commissioners unanimously approved the service and the purchase of two streetcars as part of the “consent section” of their agenda on June 13. The county is expecting to launch the program toward the end of this year.

Sarasota Publishes Proposed Public Art Plan 2030
In advance of more informational community meetings and eventual presentation to the Sarasota City Commission for adoption, the city of Sarasota has published its draft Public Art Plan 2030. Central to the plan is a proposal to increase the funding mechanism for public art. Currently, the program is funded by a developer fee of 0.5% of the value of any development of $1 million or more, excluding land value. The 2030 plan calls for doubling that fee to a full 1%. In the executive summary, Wallace writes that the plan is a living, dynamic document intended to flex with economic volatility and, like art itself, be subjective. You can read the draft plan in its entirety here.
