2018 we saw a little shift in the real estate market in Brevard County. Inventory was steadily creeping up. Sales started to flatten out in the fourth quarter. January we had our slowest month in years…under 780 closings for the county. Our supply of property jumped to over 4200 properties or a 5 month supply. All indicators pointed to our seller’s market transitioning quickly into a buyers market.
The Spring market shifted things back to a seller’s market and our 2nd quarter was quite active. Inventory has been on a decline since January and we are currently at 3578 properties for sale and June had our months supply for the county at under 3 months for Brevard County. So, our real estate market in the county is very active right now!
