The five highest-priced home sales reported in Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida for the week ending November 1, 2026, came to a combined $14.76 million. Three were single-family homes and two were condominiums, and four of the five were in Sarasota County, with the fifth in Manatee County.
Longboat Key accounted for two of the sales, which closed at the same price. The others were in Nokomis, Bradenton and Sarasota. The list ran from a home built in 1950 to a condominium completed in 2003, and from a seven-bedroom home on the water in West Bradenton to a three-bedroom residence of under 1,200 square feet.
No. 1 — $3,425,000 · 1604 Casey Key Road, Nokomis, Florida
The top sale of the week was a vintage beach cottage on Casey Key, the barrier island off Nokomis, where the property reaches from the Gulf of Mexico across to Blackburn Bay. It sold for $3,425,000, and it sold furnished.
Built in 1950, it is the oldest home in this week’s group. It is a one-story Florida ranch of block and stucco with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,940 square feet on 0.58 acres. Inside, the living and dining areas share one open room with a fireplace, and the dining area looks out on the bay. Sunrise comes up over Blackburn Bay, and the Gulf side has a private sandy beach.
Outside are a deck, a front porch, an above-ground pool and a private dock with a 10,000-pound boat lift. The water off the property is suited to boating, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding. The listing presented the site both as a cottage ready to use now and as a place where a buyer could build a new home later. The property last sold for $3.4 million in 2024.
Valerie Dall’Acqua of PREMIER SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY was the listing agent and also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the week’s top sale.
