January 2026 reflects a housing market that is adjusting rather than slowing down. Overall inventory levels decreased, keeping the single-family market relatively balanced, while condo and townhome inventory remains higher and gives buyers more options. Pending sales increased across most property types, which typically signals stronger closed sales in the months ahead.
Starting March 5, the REALTOR® Association of Sarasota and Manatee is launching a brand-new networking experience designed with one goal in mind: making it easier for members to connect, build relationships, and feel more engaged with their association.
