The cooling trend in the Sarasota-Bradenton area real estate market accelerated in April, according to a new report, with median sale prices dropping and inventory continuing to grow. The Realtor Association of Sarasota and Manatee’s April findings noted some of the steepest drops in median sale prices that the region has seen in years. The association attributed those declines, as well as a cooled pace as measured by rising inventory, to a lingering post-pandemic market stabilization.

An oft-ignored aspect of girl dinner is not the “what” but the “when” of it. Could be a five star meal, but whipped up at 11:30 p.m. in near-total darkness? Only a microwave light to guide you? That’s girl dinner.

You get a lot of hate mail in this job but sometimes a message is so next-level vitriolic that you have to respect it. Mr. “sent from my iPad” is in it purely for the love of the game. Can’t be mad at that.
