Local agents seem to think the market has hit bottom and is starting to climb.
"These numbers indicate our local market is definitely on the upswing," said Joe Hembree, president of the Sarasota Association of Realtors. "Hopefully, this four-month positive trend will continue as we head into the summer, which traditionally is our slower season. With the current buyer's market, an attractive inventory, low interest rates and stabilizing prices, we should continue to have a positive market."

Vacant land is still slow with many lots in the $20,000 range and less. Not even 1% of lots on the market are selling. In order to cut costs, builders are no longer keeping a big lot inventory, and homeowners can usually get a better deal on a house that is already built.
