A local guide from Andrew Pepper, REALTOR®, The Pepper Team at Keller Williams On The Water Sarasota
Quick answer: North Port is a city in southern Sarasota County along I-75 and US-41, with single-family neighborhoods, a lot of new construction and master-planned communities such as Wellen Park. Single-family homes in North Port sold for a median $325,000 from 9/1/2026 to 10/31/2026, and the most common price range was $300,000 to $349,999 (Stellar MLS). I'm Andrew Pepper, a Military Veteran and REALTOR® who helps buyers and sellers here.
Much of North Port was laid out decades ago as individual homesites, so many streets are single-family homes on their own lots, and builders are still building on open lots today. That makes North Port a place where you can often compare a brand-new home with a resale a few streets away. It also means the details matter: utilities, flood zone and the condition of the lot.
Wellen Park ranks among the nation's top-selling master-planned communities (RCLCO #8 in 2025 with 992 sales; #3 at mid-year 2026 with 727 sales). In 2025, Sarasota County placed two communities in RCLCO's national top 10: Lakewood Ranch (#2) and Wellen Park (#8).
Talk With Andrew| Measure (North Port, single-family) | 9/1/2026 to 10/31/2026 |
|---|---|
| Closed sales | 253 |
| Median sold price | $325,000 (September $316,500, October $329,900) |
| Most common price range ($50K bands) | $300,000 to $349,999 (76 of 253 sales, 30%) |
| Lowest and highest sale | $74,000 and $1,275,000 (see note) |
| Median days on market (list to contract) | 40 |
| Median sold-to-list price | 98% |
| Median days, contract to close | 34 (73% closed within 45 days) |
About the low and high: the lowest sale was a distressed, as-is cash sale, and the highest was a parcel of about 5 acres, where the land drives the price. Most homes sold well inside that range, so the median and most common range are the better guide.
| ZIP | Sales | Median sold price | Median days on market | Median sold-to-list | Median days, contract to close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 34286 | 79 | $322,000 | 40 | 98% | 36 |
| 34287 | 63 | $300,000 | 56 | 97% | 33 |
| 34288 | 72 | $325,000 | 41 | 99% | 34 |
| 34289 | 17 | $424,990 | 12 | 100% | 42 |
| 34291 | 22 | $348,500 | 33.5 | 100% | 31.5 |
34289 (17 sales) and 34291 (22 sales) are small samples, so treat their numbers as a rough guide. They can swing a lot from month to month, and a few long new-construction closings affect them. Counts include only sales with a North Port address; parts of 34287, 34288 and 34289 carry a Port Charlotte or unincorporated Sarasota County address and aren't included.
Days on market is not closing time. Once a home is under contract, the contract-to-close number is the one to plan your move around. Your timeline depends on your lender and contract terms.

Single-family homes in North Port sold for a median $325,000 from 9/1/2026 to 10/31/2026, based on 253 Stellar MLS closed sales pulled by The Pepper Team on 11/1/2026. The most common price range was $300,000 to $349,999, where 76 of those sales (30%) closed. Prices vary a lot by neighborhood, lot and age of the home, so I price each home with nearby comparable sales.
From US-41 at Sumter Blvd, MacDill AFB's Dale Mabry Gate is about 87 miles, roughly 105 to 115 minutes with no traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, checked Nov 1, 2026). Rush hour runs longer, so North Port works better for a hybrid schedule or remote work than a daily drive to the base.
Not every lot does. Some North Port homes and lots are on city utilities and others use a well and septic. Before you buy a home or a lot, I check what utilities serve that address and build well and septic questions into the inspection period.
Yes. Builder sales reps represent the builder, and your own agent works for you. Bring me on your first visit to any model or sales center, since many builders require your agent to register you on that first visit.
Yes. I help sellers price and market their homes, and I work with buyers using VA, FHA, conventional and cash financing, from Tampa to Fort Myers.
Call or text me at 941-400-8227, or book a quick call. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll send you North Port homes that fit, with the full monthly cost of owning, including taxes, insurance and any HOA fees.
