Brevard County MLS Statistics August 2020

A quick note from JoAnn:

The Brevard market is moving swiftly.  Inventory is very low and homebuyers are experiencing multiple offer scenarios in some price points.  The demand is driving prices upward.  If you are a homeowner thinking of selling, this market is good for you.  If you are a buyer, you must stay on top of "new" or "back on the market" listings. This data does not include vacant land.  We are seeing a tremendous increase in vacant land sale also.  Where homebuyers are not finding their dream home, they are turning to builders.
