The Sarasota market right now

The median single-family home in Sarasota County sold for $485,000 in September 2026, up 7.8% from a year earlier, with a median of 51 days to contract and 91 days to close. Inventory is down to 3.7 months’ supply. The averages are skewed by luxury waterfront sales, and the typical house in North Port or Venice trades well under the county average.

Selling with code violations or liens

Code enforcement depends on where the property is. Inside the City of Sarasota, the city’s Code Compliance division handles cases, and a city lien search costs $87.50 through Orange Lien Data. North Port, Venice and unincorporated Sarasota County each run their own process. Florida law is the same everywhere: a recorded fine order becomes a lien on the property and the owner’s other real estate (Fla. Stat. 162.09). We pull the right search for your address and pay what’s owed at closing.

Facing foreclosure in Sarasota County

Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller Karen E. Rushing runs foreclosure sales online at sarasota.realforeclose.com. Tax deed sales are online too, at sarasota.realtaxdeed.com, weekdays from 9 a.m. The foreclosure sale is set 20 to 35 days after final judgment (Fla. Stat. 45.031). If you have equity, sell before that date and keep it.

Inherited a house in Sarasota County

Sarasota is in the 12th Judicial Circuit, with Manatee and DeSoto. The Clerk’s probate division handles filings. If the estate is $150,000 or less after exempt property, or the owner died more than two years ago, summary administration is usually available (Fla. Stat. 735.201). We buy inherited homes as-is, including those with storm damage the family can’t manage from out of state.

Flood maps and insurance

The City of Sarasota holds a FEMA Community Rating System Class 5 rating, which can cut flood insurance premiums by up to 25%, and it adopted a Watershed Master Plan in November 2025. Flood zones changed with the newer FEMA maps, so check a house’s current zone before you price storm repairs. A house that floods, sits in a high-risk zone and needs a new roof is exactly the kind of house a retail buyer’s lender won’t touch. We’ll buy it.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
