Florida’s Space Coast housing market continued to show momentum in January even with the ongoing pandemic, with more closed sales, rising median prices, more new pending sales and increased pending inventory compared to a year ago.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Florida’s Space Coast housing market continued to show momentum in January even with the ongoing pandemic, with more closed sales, rising median prices, more new pending sales and increased pending inventory compared to a year ago.

Available properties for sale in Brevard dropped 40.2% for single-family homes and 51.3% for condos/townhomes in January.

“Our low inventory and very high buyer demand continue to put pressure on Brevard home prices,” said Jennifer McCoy of McCoy Freeman Real Estate. which serves all of Florida’s Space Coast.

“Seventeen percent year-over-year growth in single-family sales and over 13% growth in condo and townhouse sales is way above our historical average and we will likely remain well above our historical average for most, if not all, of 2021.”

The primary reason for that is that mortgage rates will continue to remain quite low for the duration of the year.

According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.75% in January 2021, significantly lower than the 3.62% average during the same month a year earlier.

“Our low inventory and very high buyer demand continue to put pressure on Brevard home prices,” said Jennifer McCoy of McCoy Freeman Real Estate, which serves all of Florida’s Space Coast.
