BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard’s housing market may be showing some beginning signs of cooling in April: Mortgage interest rates and median home prices continued to rise amid a still-constrained supply of for-sale homes, resulting in fewer closed sales compared to a year ago.

According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.98% in April, significantly higher than the 3.06% average during the same month a year earlier.

“Looking forward, price growth should start to moderate in response to these higher rates, so this is an important statistic to keep your eye on over the next few months,” said Jennifer McCoy with McCoy Freeman Real Estate, which serves all of Florida’s Space Coast.

In April, closed sales for single-family homes were down 11.7% and active inventory was up 4.8% from this time last year in Brevard.

“More inventory is good for buyers but new listings are still selling faster than ever,” says McCoy.

The median time to contract was down 30% to 7 days and the median time to sell was down 18.5% to 44 days compared to this time last year.

Sales prices are still increasing. The median sales price in Brevard for single-family homes was up 22.3% to $360,000.
