I really thought the active inventory would be creeping a little higher as we entered the 4th quarter, which is traditionally a slowing down period until the Snowbird/Spring Break sales start happening after the first of the year. It appears we will continue to have a very active market for a while.

Here is a breakdown of the Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral area

Condos

Condo sales in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral usually start slowing down in October as we approach the year’s end, mirroring the activity for Brevard County.

So far year to date through the end of October, we have sold 667 condos putting us in a position to sell over 800 condos for the year. Average sales per square foot are also up. We are averaging $260 SqFt for condo sales this year versus $220 SqFt in 2020. Condos are also selling quicker. 64 average days on market in 2020 versus 32 in 2021. Right now, we have 66 active condos for sale in Cocoa Beach & Cape Canaveral ranging from $89K for a one-bedroom condo in Cape Canaveral up to $1.625M for unit 407 at the Surf condominiums downtown.

We have sold 149 homes through the end of October 2021 versus 174 home sales through the end of October 2020. (2019 same time frame had 135 home sales) The slight slowdown has not affected the prices…the average sales per square foot in 2020 was $261SqFt compared to $337SqFt in 2021. The current price range of active homes is $418K for a 3 bedroom home on Jefferson Ave to $2.4M for a direct ocean home near 6th St South Cocoa Beach.

Since our property sales are still strong ending the month of October with our active inventory being below 1 month; all signs are indicating this strong real estate market will carry over into the new year. What are your predictions? Let me know here https://cocoabeachinsider.com/contact/
