Our second/vacation home market is still moving along briskly. Brevard County is still a favorite destination for those buyers moving south.  The inclement weather up north drives people who are looking for a vacation home and our great weather.  They can enjoy the Indian and Banana rivers and the beautiful sandy beaches.

Florida is also popular due to the nice tax incentives. (Please consult a CPA or tax accountant for more info on taxes.)

Good info. I like the median days on the market statistic. It tells you that if you want to sell you can in a reasonable time.

Hi Lou, Our Brevard County real estate has remained quite strong. Our reduced inventory is making it a bit of a challenge for ready, willing and able buyers to find a property to suit their wants and their needs.

Hi Gary, I like that feature, also. But, I didn't send the year end totals for all of 2013 in that report.
