The short version: I pulled every recorded single-family and condo sale on the Brevard County property roll and published the numbers, all of them, with the methodology. Houses are a plateau, not a drop. Two of the eight cities actually rose. And condos are running a genuinely different market than houses, softer prices and a buyer pool where half the buyers do not live in the unit they bought. The full report lives at the market report page and will stay updated.
Why I built this instead of quoting a listing feed
Most market reports summarize the MLS or a listing site's estimate model. Those only see homes that were listed. The county roll records every sale, on-market or off, for-sale-by-owner, new construction, all of it, because it is the same public record your tax bill comes from. So that is what I measured: 13,075 recorded house sales in the trailing twelve months of available data, with quitclaims, family transfers, and bulk builder deals filtered out, and the filters disclosed.
The three findings worth your attention
First, the county is flat, not falling. The single-family median slipped under two percent year over year, to $350,000. Prices roughly holding while volume holds is a market catching its breath, not one rolling over. Whether that is good news depends entirely on which side of the closing table you sit on.
Second, "the Brevard market" is eight markets wearing one name. Titusville's median fell around six percent over the same twelve months that Cocoa Beach's rose more than six, and the gap between the cheapest city median and the most expensive is over $400,000. A countywide headline number tells you almost nothing about pricing a specific house on a specific street. That is exactly why the 96 neighborhood guides on this site exist.
Third, the condo market has quietly split off from the house market. The condo median slid about four percent, a steeper drop than houses, and the buyer pool looks nothing like the house market: about half of condo purchases went to owners who do not live in the unit, and more than a fifth of condo buyers get their tax bill mailed outside Florida. The building-safety laws that followed the 2021 Surfside collapse put real, well-documented pressure on association budgets, insurance, and structural-inspection assessments statewide. I will not pin Brevard's specific numbers on one cause, but if you are shopping a condo here, the association's budget and milestone-inspection status now matter as much as the unit itself.
The honest limitations, because there are always some
The roll keeps each property's most recent sale, so a house that traded twice inside the window counts once. That barely moves the medians, which is why medians are what I publish, and it is why I do not publish a year-over-year sales-count change, which it would distort. City labels are postal, not legal city limits. Out-of-state share is measured by where the new owner's tax bill goes, a good proxy rather than a perfect one. The full methodology, including everything filtered out and why, is on the report page itself.
If you want these numbers cut for your specific neighborhood, that is literally a text message. I keep the whole roll on hand, and it is how every community guide on this site was built. No drip campaign, no calls, just the number you asked for.
