Is Matoaka Heights expensive?+
It's a mid-market Sarasota neighborhood: the one active listing is $599,000, while homes have actually sold at a $495,000 median over the last 12 months. At roughly $268 per square foot on a median home size of 2,239 square feet, it's more accessible than Sarasota's Gulf-front pockets.
What do homes cost in Matoaka Heights?+

How is the market in Matoaka Heights?+
It's a tight, low-volume market — one active listing, three closings in the last year, and a median of 31 days on market. Sellers are getting about 95% of their asking price, so well-priced homes don't linger and buyers should be prepared to act quickly.
