The Return of Affordable Waterfront!

Recent market corrections make waterfront living affordable again. if you were squeezed out of the market by double digit appreciation throughout the past decade, you can take heart in knowing that you can now own a canal front home in Sarasota for well under $500,000. Even Longboat Key has older homes on excellent deep water priced in the $600s. Siesta Key also offers great choices. With the help of an experienced Realtor, now is an excellent time to take a fresh look at waterfront living.

Siesta Key Farmers Market

SRQ TALK.........

"I want to have something that's got an old-school Siesta Key feel." --Siesta Key resident and business owner Bryan Eible. Eible is launching "Don't Panic. It's Organic," a Sunday-morning farmer's market in the Siesta Key Village.

Old School Siesta Has a Farmer's Market (With Organic Produce Here, and Natural Products There) It's getting harder and harder to think of an excuse for missing a local farmer's market, especially now that Siesta Key is going to host its own market on Sunday mornings.Foxy Lady owner Bryan Eible is spearheading the efforts to start a market in the Siesta Key Village area from 6 to 10am every Sunday with organic foods and natural products.Eible has the go-ahead from the Siesta Key Village Association, and he hopes to hold the first market in July. Eible, who grew up on Siesta, said he wants to bring the key back to its roots. "When I moved here, in 1972, Siesta Key was all about the environment and hippies. It was groovy," he said. "Now it's kind of turned into a bar scene. I want to give the locals a reason to come to the village."
