In the summer of 2009, Dr. Beach moved Siesta Key Beach to the No. 2 position in its Top Ten Beach’s in America list and in October 2009, on the Today Show, Barbara Corcoran said that Sarasota, Florida “was the top place to buy real estate in the United States today.” This week Siesta Key was named No. 2 Best Beach in North America for the second year in a row. Each time Sarasota is recognized nationally, new buyers come into the Sarasota real estate market. Many buyers who have never been to Sarasota don’t understand why Sarasota’s prices are higher than Cape Coral, Clearwater or St. Pete. Discover in downtown Sarasota, the urban environment offering residents an array of cultural venues: the opera, the ballet, outstanding theater presentations and so much more than just the world’s outstanding beaches. Sarasota is Paradise and will capture your heart.
