Sarasota County, of which Venice, Florida is a part, is showing obvious signs of a housing recovery. The latest Sarasota County Monthly Economic Report clearly shows that a recovery is in progress. Unemployment is down, building permits are up, total residential sales are up, and the median home sales are up. The report shows unemployment claims are down 26.8% according to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. The total number of building permits is up 37.5% from last year. The total number of residential sales is also up a mere 3.7%, with fewer days on the market and an increase in the median sale price of 10.4%.
