I have been waiting for the bottom of the Sarasota Real Estate Market forever it seems, well at least since July 17th, 2005, arguably the height of the market and the last day when sales were brisk enough to ask for ridiculous prices on land-locked 3/2 in this town. And I know the Market has bottomed becuase, drum roll please…..I SOLD MY HOUSE IN DEER CREEK!!
It just closed and was sold to, in my opinion, the two nicest people I have met in years, It just so happens to be Bill and Darla Furst. For those of you who dont know Darla, she is the Managing Broker for Michael Saunders and Company in Palmer Ranch and has beeen very successful in Managing Sarasota Agents for Almost 20 years. Those of you who live or own a piece of property may know Bill, his name is on your Cut-Sheet when you get you proposed taxes for the year, Bill is the County Appraisser.
Even know my house eventually sold for a great discount, my wife and I are thrilled to pieces to know that it went to two genuinely nice people and we wish them all the best in thier new home…..By the way, never sell a house in Florida without a pool it’s difficult…I wanted to get that comment in before Marc Rasmussen of Real Estate Rag had got the news of the wire.
Marc Rasmussen and I would often Joke and say that “when that house sells it will be the bottom of the market”. Well let’s see if that is right, we are coming in to our most popular time of year to sell, lets see how sales above 500k do as well. Inventory in the 500k and above is high in comparison to the brisk sales in 300k and under.
Beat you to the Punch Marc.
