CAN YOU BELIEVE? OUR SARASOTA MADE #1 IN THE USA FOR TOP CITY TO MOVE TO IN AMERICA!
Sunshine an average of 254 days out of the year, the best beaches in the county, no state income tax, and politics are the top ranking reasons why Americans are flocking here! OH and the SRQ, aka the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport has expanded, almost doubled in traffic since Covid.
Come along with me as I go into more detail in today’s video.
Also: I’ve really been enjoying this video journey with neighborhood and home tours while mixing in information on the housing market, predictions, stats, coming soon listings, and how to navigate through a sale from contract to closing, pitfalls and challenges that arise throughout the process. We also show you some of our favorite must do’s and must sees like local restaurants, shops, spas, areas and so much more.
Florida is the nation’s premier travel destination for vacation, relocation and retirement… and Sarasota tops the list of beaches as well as a hub for those with the affinity toward fine arts, culture and exceptional cuisine. But don’t take my word for it, compare to other areas and check out down in the Miami market for wildly different insights.
