BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – In November, Brevard County’s housing market experienced an increase in new listings and higher inventory levels than the previous year. Meanwhile, according to the latest housing data, median sales prices continued to ease.
“Homebuyers who have been waiting on the sidelines are seeing more opportunities now and more for-sale options available,” said Nikki McCoy Freeman of McCoy Freeman Compass.
“New listings were up 10.9% for existing single-family homes year-over-year, while new listings for condo-townhouse units were up 2.7% – this is encouraging news for buyers. Home prices are easing, and it appears mortgage interest rates continue to hover at levels lower than they were a year ago, which increases affordability,” says McCoy Freeman.
Last month, closed sales of existing single-family homes in Brevard County totaled 630, down 20.8% year-over-year; existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 137, down 20.3% over November 2023.
The median sales price for single-family existing homes in November was $380,000, up 3.5% from $367,000 one year earlier. For condo-townhouse units, the median price was $315,000, up 9.8% from $287,000 in November 2023.
On the market’s supply side, Brevard County had a 4.2-month supply of single-family existing homes last month, up 40% year-over-year. For condo-townhouse units, the area had a 7.1-month supply in November, up 57.8% year-over-year.
The market shift offers buyers more options and opportunities with increased listings and easing prices, making it a great time to buy. Lower mortgage rates enhance affordability. For sellers, increased inventory means more competition, so pricing competitively is key.
Despite this, there’s potential to capitalize on price growth, especially in condos. Understanding these dynamics helps make informed decisions in Brevard County’s real estate market.
