Median days on market
Gator Creek Estates is a gated pocket of large-lot, custom homes in Sarasota County, where the median home stretches past 5,000 square feet and space between neighbors is the whole point. It's a quieter, land-first alternative to the coastal energy of Lido Key or the walkable buzz of the Rosemary District — the kind of place buyers choose when they want room to breathe without leaving the Sarasota orbit.
The market here is thin and high-end by nature. Right now there's a single active listing at $3,500,000, running about $697 per square foot, while the five homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $1,550,000. Inventory this scarce means well-priced homes move fast, and serious buyers should be ready to act rather than wait for options to pile up.
Gator Creek Estates is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
