During the last two weeks Helen and I have been attending classes in Sarasota to complete our GRI (Graduate Realtors Institute) Certification in Real Estate. This certification offers a wealth of knowledge in real estate to those realtors who pursue the GRI certification and provides the customer with a more knowledgeable, professional agent.
One of our instructors, Steve David, a thirty-five year veteran with a wealth of knowledge in the Florida market from Fort Lauderdale, Florida stated that his studies indicated a 3% growth rate in real estate appreciation on the East Coast of Florida. He stated that the large amount of inventory and pace of sales on the East Coast were the contributing factors to this projection.
Sarasota with a population of under 60,000 has always had a 6% to 7% annual real estate appreciation during past years, except during the real estate boom, because of all the amenities, charm, beaches, social life, restaurants, boating, golf, tennis and arts available in this delightful gulf coast oasis.
Sarasota is a better investment going forward and now is the time to buy when the real estate market offers excellent opportunities to purchase your gulf coast oasis.
