The Sarasota real estate market continues to showing excellent signs of a recovery. April sales just released by the Sarasota Association of Realtors, outdid March sales. Probably fueled by the expiration of the homebuyers tax credit, the real estate market in Sarasota “hit the highest total in almost five years.” Sales were 50% higher than April 2009.
Pending sales remain strong and hit the highest total in the past four years.
