Marc Rasmussen's Blog: Siesta Key Real Estate

My Siesta Key water front home just went under contract. The Sarasota real estate market has been active as of late. This is our busy season as a lot of "snowbirds" or northerners come down to escape the harsh winter weather and enjoy our great weather and sun. Our pending sales have hit a 3 year high.

This Siesta Key home is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 3.397 square foot on a canal with no bridges to bay. The list price is $1,099,000. We were priced aggressively (which is what it takes in this market). Our nearest competitor in the neighborhood was $450,000 more.
