Brevard County Housing Market: Is the Stability About to Be Tested?

October 16, 2026

Looking at the September housing market numbers, we’re continuing the theme we’ve seen through most of 2026: market stabilization.
Active inventory did tick up slightly from August, but nothing crazy. We currently have 4,208 properties available across Brevard County. That’s still well below last year, when we had more than 5,000 properties for sale.
And we had another month where sales nearly matched last year. There were 1,025 closings in September compared with 1,034 last September. Year to date, we’re only 70 closings behind 2025. That’s less than a 1% difference.
Months’ supply is also looking pretty good. We’re sitting at 4.1 months of inventory compared with 4.85 months last year. That’s the highest we’ve seen since February, but 4.1 months is still a pretty balanced number.
So overall, September looks pretty stable.
But now we have something else to keep an eye on: mortgage rates.

Is Florida’s Space Coast A Good Place To Retire?

June 26, 2026

Florida is often marketed as the perfect retirement paradise, but the reality depends a lot on where in Florida you decide to live.

When most people think about retirement in Florida, they picture warm weather, beaches, golf courses, and a slower pace of life.
