You would never guess that the beautiful island of Casey Key, with its beautiful and elegant homes, famous lifestyle, wonderful beaches, and natural landscaping was once part of a wild region in the late 1840's. U.S. Army Captain John Charles Casey, a graduate of West Point, was sent by the U.S. Government in the mid-1800s to survey the area. Casey was also assigned the task of assisting in the removal of the Seminole Indians from the region during his survey.

The Key was called Chaise’s Key on the 1849 map, and John Casey’s name was on the map marking the area where he was surveying. When Casey’s map was published later in 1856, the name was changed to Casey Key. Since that mistake, several attempts have been made to change the name back to Chaise’s

Warren Buffet is buying. Of course we are referring to stocks, not real estate. However, I could not help but think of the Sarasota real estate market when I read his recent quote about his investment strategy.

"A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.  And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors." - Warren Buffet

It reminds me of the old saying - "The rich sell when everyone else is buying and buy when everyone is selling."

The real estate market will rebound eventually. Right now there are tremendous values out there. Financially strong buyers can take advantage of the housing turmoil. The keys to finding the best deal are patience and flexibility.

An anoymous Russian billionaire contracted last month to purchase a spectacular French Villa for $750 million according to Fox News. Villa Léopolda is located in Cote d'Azur in the French Riviera. The estate requires 50 full time gardeners just to look after the grounds. The seller is Lily Safra, widow of billionaire Edmund Safra who was killed by an arsonist's fire in his Monaco apartment in 2003. The sale will shatter the previous record of $236 million paid for an home in London.

While Sarasota does not have any properties in the hundreds of millions, there are several spectacular estates currently listed for sale.

712 N Casey Key Road  - Located on Casey Key, this home stretches from the Gulf to the Bay and is listed for $18.5M.
