Brevard County September 2017 Real Estate Report

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Florida’s housing market in third quarter 2017 showed the impact of Hurricane Irma, which made landfall in the Keys on Sept. 10.

The latest housing data released by Florida Realtors® reported higher median prices year-over-year, but fewer closed sales, pending sales and new listings due to the disruption in September’s market caused by the hurricane.

Closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 67,811 in 3Q 2017, down 5.5 percent over the 3Q 2016 figure.

“Irma clearly left its mark on the third quarter numbers by temporarily halting business activity for a number of days in September,” said Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor.

“July and August, on the other hand, were fairly typical months relative to what we’ve been seeing over the past couple of years: modest growth in sales, strong growth in prices and a declining inventory of homes on the lower end of the price spectrum. We’ll see a return to this pattern over the next couple of months.”
