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.
