BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Florida’s Space Coast housing market continued to report more closed sales, higher median prices, more new listings, and increased pending inventory compared to a year ago.

Note that this month’s May 2020 comparison data reflects the state lockdown and economic uncertainty that occurred last spring during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Brevard’s housing market continued to show very strong gains in all categories compared to this time last year,” says Jennifer McCoy with McCoy Freeman Real Estate.

“I continue to place many out-of-state buyers into their new Florida home and most of these buyers are paying all cash,” says McCoy.
