BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Florida’s housing market reported more closed sales, higher median prices and increased pending sales in March, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors.

Sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 25,921 last month, up 9.3 percent compared to March 2016.

However in Brevard County distressed sales continue to plummet. Last month a total of 102 bank-owned and short sales sold compared to 267 in March of 2015 and 346 sold in March of 2012.

Nationally closed sales data reflected fewer short sales and cash-only sales last month: Short sales for townhouse-condo properties declined 29.7 percent while short sales for single-family homes also dropped 33 percent.

“I remember when most transactions were either a short sale or bank-owned,” said broker-associate Jennifer McCoy with RE/MAX Elite’s McCoy-Freeman Group.

“Today there are 17 short sales and 62 bank-owned listings for sale compared to 2,569 standard listings for sale in Brevard County.”
