How Sarasota / Bradenton compares to other U.S. metros
| Days on market | ↑5th of 194 (top 3%) |
|---|---|

Rank across the U.S. metros Pecan Street tracks, on market data alone — a higher rank means more of that measure (more price cuts, faster price growth, a wider asking-vs-sale gap, a higher price-to-rent ratio, or more days on market). The bar shows where this metro sits within that metric’s own cohort (left is more, right is less); ↑ and ↓ mark the positions furthest from the middle, and rows are ordered the same way. Metrics without data for this metro are omitted.
Affordability
| Price-to-rent ratio | ≈ 19 +5.2% YoY ↑39th of 195 (top 20%) |
|---|---|
| Asking price / sq ft | $265 -2.9% YoY |
Price-to-rent divides the median sale price by the annual HUD Fair Market Rent (a 3-bedroom, 40th-percentile benchmark), so it is a directional rent-vs-buy read, not a cap rate; its year-over-year change is directional in the same way. Asking price per square foot is the median across active for-sale listings (Realtor.com), as of Aug 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.
Market pressure
| Listings with a price cut | ≈ 31% -3.4 pts YoY ↓150th of 194 |
|---|---|
| New housing units permitted | 1,039 |
Price-cut share is the portion of active for-sale listings that have taken a price reduction (Realtor.com), as of Aug 2026. New housing units authorized by residential building permits in the metro that month — new supply in the pipeline, which counts of existing listings don't capture (US Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey), as of Jul 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.
