34242 housing market

ZIP code · Sarasota

The median sale price in ZIP code 34242 was $888K in May 2026, down 14.2% year over year, measured across homes that actually closed that month (Redfin). The three months through May 2026 averaged $935K, firming from $869K across the three months before that. That puts prices 17.9% below the strongest three-month stretch on record here, which ended in Mar 2023 at $1.14M. Zillow's home value index, which models the entire housing stock rather than only the homes that changed hands, reads $841K for Jun 2026, down 5.3% year over year.

Buyers had 332 homes to choose from in May 2026, down 18.4% year over year (Redfin). 183 homes came to market in May 2026, down 26.2% year over year, against 158 closings, up 45.0% year over year. Homes that sold in May 2026 took a median of 68 days to go under contract, 16 days faster than this market's usual May pace.

Sellers were asking a median of $1.1M in Jul 2026, essentially flat year over year (Realtor.com). Asking prices and closing prices never describe the same homes, so the gap between them reads as seller expectation rather than a discount available to buyers: in May 2026 the list median ran 34.6% above the closing median. Competition is measurable in the closings themselves: 1.0% settled above asking, and the average sale landed at 93% of its final list price. 9% of listings carried a price cut in Jul 2026.
