What is happening with the real estate market?
Yes, our inventory is up and it is continuing to rise. One of the reasons this is happening, besides the higher interest rate; is that we are seeing more properties coming on the market today versus any other time I have been tracking our real estate numbers.
Yes, we are seeing more price changes. When we start having a slight slow down in sales along with more property to choose from, prices will need to be adjusted in order for a home to be sold. You can either price your property at or below recent sales (which I recommend) OR you can try high, not receive any offers, and then start playing catch-up through multiple price changes. Chasing the market down is not the best strategy when trying to sell your home.
In spite of the increase in the inventory, the higher interest rates, and slower sales; our prices are still trending up. Will this change during the second half of 2022? It’s hard to say. I think the initial drop in the median and average price in Brevard County was the buyers getting sticker shock with the higher interest rates. The demand for housing in our area will remain high as long as the Space Program remains strong and the aerospace & government contract jobs with L3Harris, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman keep bringing in people to our area.
What about the Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral housing market? I have been pretty consistent in saying the market is adjusting back to the market pre-Covid, which was still considered a seller’s market with under 4 months’ supply of property for sale. The condo and single-family home inventory in the Cocoa Beach area are trending up higher than this 4 month’s supply…am I concerned? Not really…because our inventory levels beach-side is usually higher than what we see in other parts of Brevard County.
