Thinking about buying or selling a home in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, or Venice? Your decision is more than just a life change—it creates a ripple effect that strengthens the entire community.
Every year, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) releases data on the economic impact of real estate transactions. On average:
🏡 Buying an existing home contributes over $60,000 to the local economy.
🏗️ Purchasing a newly built home generates over $125,000 in economic activity.(see visual below):
These numbers reflect the jobs and businesses that thrive when homes change hands—contractors, inspectors, mortgage lenders, title companies, real estate agents, and even local shops and restaurants all benefit from your move.
As Robert Dietz, Chief Economist at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), explains:
"For every single-family home built, enough economic activity is generated to sustain three full-time jobs for a year."
When you buy or sell a home in Southwest Florida, you’re not just making a move—you’re investing in your neighbors, supporting small businesses, and helping shape the future of our community.
