The Sarasota FL real estate market is still experiencing a buyer's market. There are deals out there and some buyers plan to make their purchase before the end of 2009. Many desperate owners who have caved into the pressure of this real estate market have lowered their prices considerably and dumped their properties. Some sellers have sold their homes for less than what they owe ("short sale") or been forced into foreclosure. Properties priced correctly and at good values are now good buys even though they don't seem to be what most buyers call a "deal." Once again, we remind you that you don't have to buy a short sale or a foreclosure on Longboat Key or Sarasota to get a deal!
