Median days on market
Laurel Estates is one of Sarasota's larger-home enclaves, where pool decks and generous lot sizes set the tone — the median house here runs just over 4,000 square feet. It sits within easy reach of the coastal draws that define this stretch of the Gulf Coast, from the beaches at Lido Key to the arts-and-dining energy of the Rosemary District and the walkable streets of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores.
For buyers today, this is firmly a luxury market: all four active listings are priced above $1 million, with a median list of $2.31 million and every home offering a pool. Inventory is thin and homes take time to move — the median is 92.5 days on market — but sellers over the past year have still landed 94% of asking. If you're weighing options across Sarasota homes for sale, Laurel Estates rewards patience and a clear sense of what you want.
Laurel Estates is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Laurel Estates FAQs
Is Laurel Estates a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want a large single-family home with a pool in a quieter part of Sarasota. You're close to the beaches of Lido Key and downtown's dining and arts scene, but the neighborhood itself trades density for space, with a median home size around 4,034 square feet.
Is Laurel Estates expensive?+
Yes — this is a luxury market where all four active listings are priced above $1 million and the median list price is $2.31 million. Even recent sales came in with a median of $1.325 million, so it sits well above the typical Sarasota price point.
What do homes cost in Laurel Estates?+
Active listings currently range from $1.425 million to $3 million, with a median list price of $2.31 million and an average of $496 per square foot. Over the past year, 24 homes closed at a median sold price of $1.325 million.
How is the market in Laurel Estates?+
Inventory is tight, with just four active listings, and homes take time to sell — the median is 92.5 days on market. Sellers still did well, averaging 94% of asking across 24 sales in the last 12 months, so pricing conversations here are measured rather than frantic.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $361 per month, and the median property tax is roughly $12,142 per year, reflecting the higher home values in the neighborhood. Budget for both when you're comparing against other Sarasota homes for sale.
