Florida Realtors housing market statistics for May 2020 have just been released, and they show several signs of a recovery from the titanic economic shock that was the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The median sales price for Brevard single-family homes is up 4.5% to $250,000 compared to a year ago, which was $239,208.

Florida Realtors housing market statistics for May 2020 have just been released, and they show several signs of a recovery from the titanic economic shock that was the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.

Statewide, the most significant evidence we have of a rebound are the year-over-year changes we see for new pending sales in May.

“The Space Coast housing demand continues to be driven by record-low mortgage rates and shows no signs of rising significantly any time soon,” said Jennifer McCoy, Broker/Owner for McCoy-Freeman Real Estate serving all of Florida’s Space Coast.

“I believe June could be a very strong month for sales given the high levels of pent-up demand that has likely been released in recent weeks.”

In the single-family home category, we actually experienced a 2.3 percent increase in the number of homes going under contract compared to May of last year.

This is in significant contrast to what we saw in April when new pending sales were down by 35 percent.

Turning now to home values, there’s more good news in that the sale prices for the home sales that closed in May remained stable.

The single-family median sale price was up by 1-and-a-half percent versus last year, rising to $270,000. Likewise, the condo-townhouse median sale price increased as well, rising by 3.3% up just over $200,000.
