2012 Residential Sales Brevard County, Florida - 4th Quarter 2011 vs. 4th Quarter 

 

In the last quarter of 2011 there were 1,602 residential properties sold in Brevard County.  One year later (10/01/12 to 12/31/12) there were 1,918 residential sales reported in the Brevard Realtors® MLS system. Summary – sales up.

 

The average days on market in 2011 (111 days) was quite a bit less than the last quarter of 2012 (76 days). Summary – good direction.

 

The average selling price for residential properties in 2011 was $137,632.  In 2012’s last quarter the average selling price was $150,600.  Summary – another positive indicator.

 

Months supply at the end of 2011 was 7.4 months, in 2012 its 2.4 months.  Summary – good for sellers.


A couple of other positive indicators for the Brevard County residential market as 2013 starts…

  1. About half as many residential short sales closed in the last quarter of 2012 (191 vs. 464 in 2011).
  2. Months supply of short sales in 2011 was 9.2 months.  In 2012 the number was 2.4 months.

So where is the Brevard County residential market headed in 2013… my guess is toward a seller’s market.


Considering buying a house or condo in Brevard County, Florida?  This may be the time to move forward.

Gary, This is important information for anyone thinking of buying or selling in Brevard County. Inventory is down and I agree that we are headed for a seller's market in 2013.

Gary, I certainly see signs that we are shifting to a seller's market. Properties are selling within hours of being listed for sale.  All of your indicators are good. However, I was surprised to see the short sale numbers of less than half in 2012 compared to 2011.

Gary, the Brevard numbers are looking encouraging. Seeing a rise in the average sales will soon get some would-be sellers to put their home on the market

Hello Gary -- inventory of properties available for sale remains the issue in our market -- it definitely favors sellers as long as they remain realistic in pricing and have a well-presented "product".
