Siesta Key Village

Siesta Key Village
Siesta Key Village Florida. Have you seen the completion of Siesta Key’s street project in the Village? If you visited Sarasota last winter season and wandered through Siesta Key, I’m sure you remember jackhammers and huge equipment along with dust everywhere. Siesta Key has got a new classy look now. It’s worth a trip to see how nice it is. I took some pictures with my Cannon digital camera last week when I was at the farmers market so you could see the new “Siesta Key Village.”


If you are interested in viewing any properties for sale in the Siesta Key area, contact Annette Smith, licensed Realtor® in Sarasota Florida at 941-504-3922. We regularly show condos for sale on Siesta Key near or in the Village.

Siesta Key Condos for Sale Report

In January, Siesta Key beach condos were getting attention from our seasonal buyers. Now Siesta Key real estate is hotter than ever after making the no. 2 spot on the 10 Best Beaches in America list. See our January Siesta Key condos for sale report to get an idea of how that market has changed since the beginning of the year.

Siesta Key is a world famous beach. Many buyers of condos on Siesta Key want a second home and many purchase for their future retirement. There is also the investor who plans to just rent the condo and never see it for the next few years. This is more difficult to do now unless you can purchase with cash. Many lenders are becoming tighter with their funding for rental properties. Ask us for a referral to a lender in Sarasota who can explain those guidelines to you before you start the search process.

If you are searching for a condo on Siesta Key, search our site for your price range first, then cull your search with bedrooms, view, swimming pool, etc. You will get a good idea of what you can afford on this famous beach.
