Median days on market
Laurel Estates is a pocket of larger homes on generous lots in one of Sarasota's most desirable stretches, where oversized floor plans and private pools are the norm rather than the exception. You're within easy reach of the beaches at Lido Key, the arts-and-dining energy of the Rosemary District, and the leafy waterfront character of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores. It's the kind of place buyers land after they've explored the wider market of Sarasota homes for sale and decided they want more square footage and a gated, settled feel.
The market here sits firmly in the luxury tier: eight homes are active with a median list price of $1,860,000, ranging from $869,999 to $3,249,000. Homes are averaging $485 per square foot on a median size of nearly 3,951 sqft, and they take their time selling — the median days on market is 124. Over the past year 24 homes closed at a median of $1,337,500, with sellers collecting about 94% of asking, so there's real room to negotiate if you come prepared.
Laurel Estates is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
