Like most areas of the Country, Sarasota and Southwest Florida is enjoying summer conditions. Tourists are here in droves testing the charm and ambiance. The beaches offer azure colored water views and excellent swimming. Many choose to just relax, read, listen to their ipod music or simply chat with friends.
Theater, arts and (mostly) free concerts are in full swing. Currently Beverly and I have relatives from Georgia visiting. Along with friends from California, they are staying at a wonderful condo which overlooks the Gulf on our heralded “SIESTA BEACH” (rated the # 1 beach in America). It is the second time they stayed on the beach – on other relaxing trips, they stayed in a variety of places, mostly close to golf (easy to do as there are reportedly 93 golf courses within a 25 minute drive from Sarasota).
Last Friday evening after dinner, we took them out for a little fun. We stopped to listen to a free outdoor concert in Venice, an eclectic little community immediately south of Sarasota. After the music, we headed to a ‘wine tasting’ but got sidetracked by a local watering hole ‘Pineapples’ where a live band was playing and people were dancing the day away.
Beverly and I are also happy to announce that the Real Estate inventory continues to decline. That is good news for ‘sellers’ because there is less ‘competition’ for the property they are offering for sale. For ‘buyers’ the good news is that prices have been holding steady at a low level, meaning there are some uber-bargains to be had.
We continue to be very busy in our local market place as this appears to be one of the ‘hotspots’ for real estate in the Country.
Make it a great day! Check back often for more Sarasota highlights.
