In these times of quickly changing landscapes, especially here in Florida, it’s comforting to know that a strong sense of heritage still lives on. Woven into the fabric of a modern, 21st century city are homes and neighborhoods that embody the charm of yesteryear while still being relevant and accessible in the vibrant Sarasota of today. These are the gems of our town that Carolyn and Gary Collins find truly inspirational. These are our West of the Trail properties!
As specialists on West of the Trail properties, we constantly have our collective finger on the pulse of the downtown and beyond area. In fact, we update our website ww.LifeInSarasota.com weekly by price point and property type (house or condo) to allow you to have access to information on properties West of the Trail which are actively on the market, have pended (gone under contract) or which have sold. Now, you don’t have to wait to find out what your neighbor’s house or condo is listed for or for what it sold! (See West of the Trail Property Updates.
As of last week, condos were selling on average for 85% of the last list price and were on the market for an average of 291 days. Houses were selling for 88% of last list price and had averaged 296 days on the market. Keep in mind that is a snapshot of one week. But, isn’t it interesting that houses and condos are running close to the same average days on the market? The condo market really does seem to be picking up.
The most active price point in sales is less than $500,000, but we’ve seen an up tick in the higher price points as well recently. A condo just sold on Golden Gate Point for $2M. Up until then, for over eight months, the highest sale there had been $1.275M, one of our listings.

Carolyn and Gary represent a unique combination of real estate prowess with their diverse backgrounds. And although they have different business approaches and roles, they do share the most important element in their success - passion and enthusiasm for the heritage of our proud city. Some people see real estate opportunities as more than just houses. They see them as homes with a personal history.
