Sarasota real estate market report, October 2026

Updated October 14, 2026 by Janelle Mertins, Compass

As of October 14, 2026, 670 homes were for sale across 64 Sarasota communities on this site, with median asking prices from $617,000 in South Gate to $8,677,500 in Oyster Bay Estates.

Janelle's take

In October, buyers in Sarasota have a generous choice, with 670 homes for sale. Prices run from $617,000 in South Gate to $8,677,500 in Oyster Bay Estates, so the right neighborhood matters far more than the area average. If you are selling, I would price your home against the other listings on your own street or in your own building, because that is where buyers will compare it.
