July’s housing numbers show signs that the Space Coast residential real estate market may be returning to normal. While selling remains red-hot, slight inventory growth may lead to some sales slowing.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – July’s housing numbers show signs that the Space Coast residential real estate market may be returning to normal. While selling remains red-hot, slight inventory growth may lead to some sales slowing.

“This rebound in inventory is going to be slow and it will take a long while to get back to the levels we had pre-pandemic,” says Jennifer McCoy with McCoy Freeman Real Estate serving all of Florida’s Space Coast.

“So buyers will continue to be frustrated for the time being, but maybe just a little less so,” says McCoy.

Closed sales of single-family homes were down on a year-over-year basis in July, by over 13 percent. Still, that marks the first time sales in this property type category have been down year-over-year since May of 2020, near the beginning of the pandemic.

“This rebound in inventory is going to be slow and it will take a long while to get back to the levels we had pre-pandemic,” says Jennifer McCoy with McCoy Freeman Real Estate serving all of Florida’s Space Coast.

However, demand remains very high as the median sales price was up 22.5% compared to this time last year while active inventory is down 35.4% for single-family homes in Brevard.

So in summary, sales rates are trending back to what we might consider a normal level of growth. Inventory has started a trend back toward normalcy, as well, but in this case, the road will be quite long.

For now, we’re still firmly entrenched in the seller’s market territory. With inventory rising again, price growth will begin to slow over the coming months.
