Are Buyers Still Paying a Premium for Land in Myakka City?
Myakka City Real Estate Market: Are Buyers Still Paying a Premium for Land?
Pull up the MLS and search for Myakka City properties for sale, and you’ll notice something right away: prices are higher than they used to be. But if you talk to neighbors, you’ll hear the same worry: “Are buyers really willing to pay this much for acreage anymore?”
The answer is yes - but not across the board.
Where Buyers Are Willing to Pay More
Buyers are paying premiums for land that checks certain boxes. Dry, usable acreage with cross-fencing. Properties with barns or shops in good condition. Land with easy access to Sarasota, Bradenton, or I-75. If your property has those features, you’re in the sweet spot.
But raw land, wet parcels, or properties that haven’t been maintained? Those aren’t commanding the same prices, no matter how hot the Myakka City real estate market looks on paper.
Why This Matters for Sellers
This is where some agents get it wrong. They see a property down the road sell for a premium and assume yours will too - without looking at the actual features that drove that price. That’s how sellers end up overpriced, and overpriced properties in Myakka don’t just sit - they get stigmatized. Buyers start asking, “What’s wrong with it?”
I’ve seen this firsthand in my 100+ acreage sales across Sarasota and Manatee Counties. The properties that sold quickly and for strong numbers were the ones where the land told a story that buyers believed in.
If you’re considering selling, the key is to understand where your land fits into today’s buyer demand - and build a strategy that positions you as a premium property, not just “more acres for sale.”
