"Great insights into the Sarasota-Manatee real estate market! This update is super helpful for anyone looking to stay informed about the latest trends and make smart decisions. Keep up the amazing work!" But listen, I'd like to give you some tips for free on how to make your site more brandable. How can we talk to you?

I live in the Taylor Morrison community of Palmero in Nokomis, Fl. If I had a choice, I wouldn't buy here again. First, it's supposed to be a gated community, but tha gates are open from 4am to about 7pmwothe HOA claims it's because of the construction, but I know neighborhoods identical to this one, that still keep the gates closed. Giving the workers the code is not a big deal. The workers cut major corners here, too. They left a huge eyesore in my garage that, according to the community manager, can't be painted over. The garage door doesn't completely hit the ground on the left side because it was made too low. Also, there are a lot of areas that should have been painted but weren't, making it easier for ants to get in and out. The playground is a joke - there are no swings, slides, anything really. Our $772 quarterly goes to the pool and the mowers, who don't even do a good job. I took pictures of all the mulch bags and trash that were left in my bushes.

Nice floor plan but I think it’s too much house for 55+ community. That’s a lot of house to keep clean.

Good informative video. Welcome you to take a look at my last new construction now for sale. Bring your clients. MLS#: A4627154. Thanks for your videos

Cardel has so many options with their floor plans. Do you know the difference between a semi-custom and custom home builder?

I think we finally have the spot picked out...

i remember when the average man could afford to live in Sarasota/manatee county...

Great video very informative!

Wellen Park is ahead of schedule in their second phase for Downtown Wellen Park. Would you consider a custom home is an exclusive neighborhood like Everly in Wellen Park?

Traffic being worse isn't relative. It's a comparison to itself. We have so many factors that has caused this nightmare and at the root of it is baby boomers and their massive consumption behaviors. You shop all day which means all of us trying to work have no point in time of reduced traffic. So many services are needed to fill the void and old people don't provide any services. They also hate nature and their children. Their version of nature is a golf course and they don't actually care about the future. Another issue is HOAs and their gates. All traffic is stuck taking main roads because of the lack of access to side streets because again baby boomers think they are entitled to quiet streets. I hate to go on this rant but it's really the honest truth. Oh yeah and old people live in trailers or if they are well off they own multiple house which also ruined the cost of living. Yes the traffic is getting worse. Today it took me two hours to drive northbound from Clark to 301 in Palmetto. The interstate was a disaster so I thought I could take cattleman. I ended going east all the way to Lorraine because the left onto Lockwood Ridge was backed up to China. I moved here in 2012 for work and i used to love it here. I hate it so bad now. I drive in this traffic all day. That doesnt help.

Beautiful home. The gas range does not require an exhaust hood?

Preserve or Lake View, larger homesites, luxury amenities, and the best builders in the area? What more do you need? What is most important to you if building a custom home?

I was wondering about Artistry and the hurricane’s impact there. Thank you for posting this video.

Hi Susan. Glad there was no major damage. Do these houses have impact resistant doors and windows?

Palmero isn't what I would call a "gated" community. The gates are open from 5:30am to 6:30pm - all day, creating a huge safety issue. Also, the workers cut a lot of corners when building my townhouse. My walk-through was late, so by the time I noticed, the closing date had passed. They won't pay for anything after the closing date.

Good luck. Glad i left florida.

Your timing in posting this video is impeccable!

WHO payed this 2 clowns to tell you things a picking up..... Not only that both these 2 are very anoying to listen to....my God..

Thank you for the update! Glad to hear Helene did not impact you. Although it’s expected to cut across the state and go inland, hopefully Milton goes south and you both stay safe next week! Hope everyone stays safe overall!

Was median price steady for Sarasota? I see -8.5% in your chart.

Wow!! very nice I see that the Milina model can be built there...

Does month of supply include new builds? Since there's a lot of new build developments in these counties

❤❤❤❤❤👪

Pool bath in every home! FINALLY

Beautiful! I love the ceiling and door height!!

So beautiful, can’t get over that as I’m in my pool I’m literally stacked side by side with the neighbors pool cage 10 feet away. For 3 million, I expect my privacy. Very beautiful just too close for the price

Reviews on Mattamy Homes are terrible.....

I love a community like the one I live in that is not 55 plus but most of the people living here are empty nesters. homes are not entry level priced so I think that’s a reason why there aren’t many families just because of the price point of the neighborhood. My ideal would be gated community , with some amenities and lots big enough to have a pool, and yard, but not overrun by kids. We use our own pool. Not the community pool

Stupid

Still a healthy market. And the Debby storm dropped so much rain that it really tested all those new communities to see how they performed.

Did it flood bad that way…… with the recent storm Debby? Not Artistry, but the road leading to it….

Thank you, ladies!

There’s nothing about Sarasota that I dislike!

Great video Susan, thank you. Very informative and interesting. Hopefully elected officials will actually do something to fix the issues.

I believe any house built in Florida has the potential of being flooded either by the roof or the ground. The flooding can happen when enough water is unable to drain fast enough? When we moved in our new house city, county, mortgage company, sales, city engineer said your are in X zone and there is no need for flood insurance. 3 months latter water came up to 13 feet of the front of the house and 16 feet to the side of the house and every one tells me this is normal in Florida, and the engineer said if it stands more then 3 days to call 311. The water did go down and I was told I only need to keep the storm sewer free of debris.

So with all this issues how do you sell buyers properties there

i'M in Tampa Bay and I would love to get out. Too much traffic, miserable humidity, building everywhere. I want to be near mountains.

I made good my Escape. I grew sick of the increasing number of homeless, skyrocketing crime and insurance for your home is as much as the mortgage itself. The haphazard manner in which they go about approving development without genuinely looking at lay of the land is disgusting. This not only relates to drainage issues, but with traffic as well. The Divergent Diamond at University could have been entirely avoided had they simply disallowed left hand turns from the eastbound lanes into the Publix Shopping Center. The problem was plain as day but they refused to admit the mistake. People are simply too impatient to drive up to Town Center Parkway and would rather turn into the shopping center which is clearly not designed for that volume of traffic. Lockwood and University is an absolute joke during Snowbird season. The North and South lights from Country Oaks Boulevard down to 59th Street are not synchronized in order to clear the volume that accumulates from the shopping centers. I have a laundry list of others but we won't get into that here. Thankfully I owned a home with the garage which I used regularly because of the roaming bands of bored children during the summer checking people's cars to see if they're locked. But I must admit it was always fun to go to the tourist areas and watch the pickpockets at work.

Polk county the worst too many community and they keep building for a small county u can’t move around

Overcrowding is an undeniable fact, easily detectable by construction sectors all over. Perhaps we are not building adequate infrastructure before we uncontrollably bring newcomers - is there a behind the scenes private ( or not) financial motivation? Suggest to 1- clearly identify those recently flood affected areas 2- identify flood control systems AND performance 3- and based in REAL stats (published), a plan of cure and/or building proper flood controls should be developed… In my opinion, its evolution and adaptation to the changes - it has happened for thousands of years. (… Ice age … dinosaurs… wisdom tooth … sun screen… )

I wish we could leave. Telecoms sent my family here 5 decades ago & my sons think of this area as their home. Our hearts want to help the humans who live here in these final days as psychopathic officials destroy Florida to cram as many global billionaires as they can into every spot of land they can create. Our life on earth is only a blink in time in the bigger picture. Criminal acts by our elected officials are tolerated by the mass population less & less every day. More wake up daily & won't put up with the abuse anymore. We are moving into a more transparent era. Thx, neighbor!

This video is helpful and enlightening. Please keep them coming!❤

Florida , I mean future Atlantis is screwed 😢

We sold after 28 years due to overdevelopment in St. John’s county.

OK, I can understand your but I live off of Tuttle where Whitfield at I live in this community for 40 years Whitfield has never flooded though there is a sanctuary where water and birds live. They put a brand new. 7 story building there where it used to flood and retain water now suddenly what field is flooded and houses too??????

If you are within 10 miles of any river you are in a major flood zone… This was actually a small rain event for Florida. I am just North of you. Wait until we get the real big one… Water always go down hill into the rivers. The more you build around water the more you will flood. I take the risk for freedom and the beauty, knowing that everything I own could get destroyed someday. Better than living in any blue state for sure.

Hi Susan I just found you! I am a 3rd generation my kids and grandkids 4th and 5th I’m on brink and thankfully only our garage flooded I had a yard sale over the weekend and met so many people who lost everything absolutely heartbroken one ladies English bulldog drowned 😭( I have an English) Thank you for your videos looking forward to more 🎉
