Venice Housing Market Holds Steady as Spring Inventory Builds
Venice, FL – March 10, 2026 – Home prices are up modestly year over year, inventory is balanced, and rents have eased heading into spring.
Venice’s housing market is entering spring on balanced footing, with modest price gains and steady buyer activity.
Top takeaways
- Median sale price: $415K in January 2026, up 3.1% year over year.
- About 80 median days on market, slightly faster than last year.
- Roughly 630 single-family homes listed; supply near 5–6 months.
- Average apartment rent: $1,947, down 7.2% from a year ago.
Market snapshot
Recent data show a median sale price of $415,000 in January, with 75 homes sold and an average marketing time of about 80 days. That’s an improvement from 87 days a year earlier, suggesting buyers are still active even as inventory expands.
Local brokerage updates in mid-to-late February report roughly 628–631 single-family homes on the market, 256–258 pending sales, and between 115 and 138 closings in the past 30 days. An absorption rate around 5.5 months places the area on the edge of a balanced market, with homes under $500K moving faster than luxury listings.
Prices, list trends and rentals
Average list prices in February were reported near $496K overall, with single-family homes averaging above $550K. Meanwhile, Realtor.com data show softer year-over-year metrics for some measures, reflecting a market that has cooled from peak pandemic pace.
On the rental side, the average apartment runs $1,947 per month as of early February, down from about $2,099 a year ago. One-bedrooms average $1,571, while three-bedrooms average $2,581, giving renters slightly more negotiating room than in 2024–2025.
What this means locally
Buyers have more choices than a year ago, particularly above $500K, while well-priced homes in entry and mid-range brackets continue to draw attention. Sellers are seeing stable pricing but should expect marketing times measured in weeks, not days.
Are you seeing more price reductions, multiple-offer situations, or longer listing times in your neighborhood?
