		<description><![CDATA[At Michael Saunders &#038; Company, one of our chief responsibilities is to keep clients and customers completely abreast of important trends affecting real estate in our local market areas.  Lately, we’ve noticed a nagging trend that challenges our ability to do this.  That trend is how utterly confusing contradictory media coverage of the housing market must be to buyers and sellers trying to make sense of it all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[University Parkway is fast becoming one of the top neighborhoods in Sarasota. Everyday new stores and restaurants are opening. A luxury mall is being planned. The schools are new and top-rated. There’s gourmet food shopping at Fresh Market and the latest movies in nearby Lakewood Ranch. And the location can’t be beat – just fifteen minutes to downtown and twenty to the beaches.

Originally called County Line Road, the Parkway marks the boundary between Sarasota and Manatee counties. Once a largely rural area, the Parkway has grown to become a collection of upscale, sophisticated communities. This is modern Florida living at its finest, with a wide variety of housing choices.

		<description><![CDATA[“Can you believe they’re at it again?” muttered the Starbucks customer, eyes wide, mouth agape as she looked up from her newspaper. “So many homes for sale and they’re building new ones?” she muttered again, sounding even more incredulous as she peered over her glasses at no one in particular.  Having read the same article only minutes earlier, we didn’t have to guess what she was referring to. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a few years ago East Manatee was considered beautiful but definitely off the beaten track. The development of the I-75 corridor has changed all that. Now this area of old Florida farms and ranches has become one of the fastest growing parts of the state. And while new planned communities dot the landscape, the giant oaks and pine groves remind us of the area’s historic past. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past week Michael Saunders &#038; Company proudly launched its 35th  year of serving the comprehensive real estate needs of the Southwest Florida community; along with happily reaffirming our chief specialty—perfected carefully over these many years—of listing and selling the region’s finest high-value properties.

It’s no coincidence that substantially more of today’s luxury home buyers—by far—purchase properties using agents from Michael Saunders &#038; Company than from any other real estate company in Southwest Florida. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bird Key is quintessential Sarasota. An island set in the middle of Sarasota Bay, it was first developed by circus magnate John Ringling back in the 1920’s as a retreat for his own family. Today it glitters as one of the finest neighborhoods in town. Thanks to an extensive network of canals, more than two thirds of Bird Key’s 500 homes are on the water, many with dockage for large yachts. Spectacular views abound, both of the downtown skyline and of the lush mangrove islands that dot the bay.
