Reid Murphy Sets ANOTHER New Sales Record! (2021)

Data from the Realtor Association of Sarasota and Manatee shows Longboat Key’s 34228 ZIP code had a median price of $1,475,000 for a single-family home in 2021, the highest median sales price of any ZIP code in Sarasota County.

“It was the year to have listings,” Longboat Key-based Realtor Reid Murphy said.

Murphy said he realized early in 2021 that he would have a record-setting year.

“I don’t remember exactly, but three months into it I guess I pretty much knew it was on its way,” Murphy said.

MLS data shows Murphy had a sales volume of about $172,020,000 in 2021. It is the highest total of Murphy’s career, which has spanned more than three decades. Murphy’s 2021 totals more than doubled his sales volume of $64.92 million in 2020.

Last year, Murphy was among a small number of agents in Manatee and Sarasota counties who had more than $100 million in sales.
