Buy Property in Sarasota for a Dream Vacation Home
Sarasota is a beautiful city and a fabulous place to take a vacation. It offers wide sandy beaches, water sports and recreational sporting activities, world class shopping, fine dining, and a host of fantastic entertainment opportunities too. If you love Sarasota as much as we do then you’ll know that all of these reasons, combined with over 300 days of sunshine every year, make it the perfect place to buy a vacation home. More than 250,000 people (both from America and abroad) buy property in Florida each year and it’s no wonder, as there are hundreds of great reasons why you should. Here are just a few of them:
Buy-to-Rent Vacation Property
The short-term rental market in Florida is very strong with vast numbers of tourists travelling to Sarasota from other states, and of course the rest of the world, to take advantage of the fantastic weather and fabulous attractions. Florida is a hugely popular destination and stop-off point for transatlantic and domestic cruise liners, with many cruise passengers choosing to finish their vacations with a week in the Florida sun, perhaps playing a round of golf at one of the many Sarasota golf courses.
As Planet Cruise says, the memories of cruising across the Atlantic remain forever, and it's easy to see why cruising is a growth industry in this region of the world. Sarasota is a coastal city making it the perfect beach destination, and a stay in Sarasota is often combined, as part of a two-center vacation, with a stay at the Disneyland or Universal Orlando resorts. With all these options for vacations in Sarasota it’s no surprise that it is such a popular place to buy Sarasota real estate as vacation property for rental purposes, and the potential financial returns from doing so are massive. Renting your Sarasota property also allows you to have the best of both worlds: you can ensure your home is empty whenever you wish to use it yourself, and then make a profit from it by renting it when it would otherwise be empty.
Affordable Property
One of the first questions every potential homeowner needs to ask before they make the decision to buy their own home is can they afford to make this purchase. You need to think not only about your current financial situation but also any potential changes to that in the short term future: is your job safe for example, or are you planning to start a family and dramatically reduce your combined income? There is a wealth of property in Sarasota suitable for a range of budgets so look for a property with the lower end of your budget in mind, rather than stretching yourself to purchase something you can’t really afford. For overseas potential buyers the value of the Pound and Euro are still strong against the dollar, making America a very attractive and affordable place to invest in one of our attractive communities of Sarasota golf course homes or perhaps a waterfront condominium in Downtown Sarasota. You’ll get considerably more for your money and the weather alone makes Sarasota a much better place to buy a vacation home than, say, London!
America is the third most popular place in the world for British people to buy vacation property (after France and Spain) and another benefit of buying in Sarasota for overseas buyers looking to invest in foreign property is of course that there is no language barrier, as there would be in France or Spain. You can discuss your specific requirements with your realtor and feel confident that none of your requirements would be overlooked or lost in translation.
Florida is Much More than Orlando!
When many people think of Florida, they immediately think about Orlando and all of the attractions it has to offer. But Florida is about so much more than Disneyland and Universal Studios. Coastal regions like Sarasota are in fact considerably more beautiful than Orlando, and particularly attractive to tourists and vacationers, as well as people looking to permanently relocate to warmer climes and make Florida their home.
