BOBBY FREEMAN: Brevard Housing Market Continues Increasing Inventory, Higher Median Prices

Median Sales Price for Brevard Single Family homes is up 4.2% to $349,000

REALTOR BOBBY FREEMAN:  Brevard’s housing market in February continued to show increasing inventory (active listings) and higher median prices compared to a year ago.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard’s housing market in February continued to show increasing inventory (active listings) and higher median prices compared to a year ago.

“The only upshot to our persistently low levels of new listings here on the Space Coast is that it is helping to keep prices relatively stable by preventing the ratio of buyers to sellers from shifting too rapidly,” says Jennifer McCoy with McCoy Freeman Real Estate.

“Still, economic uncertainty, inflation, and interest rates fluctuating above 6% impacted Brevard’s housing sector,” says McCoy.

Closed sales of single-family homes in Brevard last month totaled 819, down 6.9% year-over-year, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 190, down 23.7% from February 2022.

The median sale price for closed sales of single-family homes in February was 4.2 higher than a year ago, rising to $349,000.

Over in the townhouse and condo category, the median sale price was $302,500, a year-over-year increase of 14.2%.

Mortgage interest rates have climbed in recent weeks, but they are currently volatile as the markets are trying to figure out what to make of the recent turmoil in the banking sector.

This uncertainty might have the effect of making some buyers hop back on the fence for the time being, so there’s no guarantee that we’ll continue to see improvement in sales for March and April.
