As we've been saying...NOW is the time to buy Sarasota real estate...

U.S.News & World Report named Sarasota, Florida #5 in "America's 10 best undervalued places to live."  It was rated 28% undervalued, according to IHS Global Insight.

Here's an excerpt from the article:
 
"The real estate bust has created some attractive bargain opportunities in certain housing markets...Another alluring option for those looking to buy into the depressed Florida housing market is Sarasota, McCabe says.  Like Naples, Sarasota is a relatively upscale community along the state's west coast.  "Sarasota has got a lot of culture to it--a lot of art, a lot of art festivals, " McCabe says.  "it's a nice boating community, and they have got a lot of beautiful homes there."  And after home prices plunged 44 percent from the first quarter of 2006 to the first quarter of 2009, the market presents would-be buyers with some attractive opportunities.  IHS Global Insight considers the median home price in Sarasota--$141,000--to be 28 percent undervalued."
