Mid-2026 edition · from the county roll, not a listing feed

The Brevard market, measured.

Every recorded single-family and condo sale on the Brevard County property roll, 13,075 house sales in the twelve months of data ending June 18, 2026. Not a survey, not a listing-site estimate, the actual public record.

The county, in five numbers

Houses: flat-to-soft, not falling apart.

The median recorded single-family sale price countywide was $350,000 over the last twelve months of available data, against $356,000 the twelve months before that. That is a slide of under two percent, a plateau, not a drop. Prices flat while volume holds is what a market catching its breath looks like on paper.

City by city

Eight markets wearing one county's name.

The countywide median hides more than it shows. Titusville and Cocoa Beach moved in opposite directions over the same twelve months, and the gap between the cheapest and most expensive city median is more than $400,000. Sale counts and medians below are single-family only, from the same recorded-sale data as everything else on this page.

Cities are the roll's postal cities. Viera is unincorporated, so it is approximated by ZIP 32940, the same convention used across this site.

The condo story

Half the condo buyers don't live in them.

Condos are running a different market than houses. The countywide condo median slipped -4.1 percent year over year to $230,000, a steeper slide than houses. And the buyer pool looks nothing like the house market: 51.4 percent of the 2,042 condos sold went to owners who do not live in them, and 22.8 percent of buyers get their tax bill mailed outside Florida. Statewide pressure on condo fees, insurance, and structural-inspection assessments has been widely reported since the building-safety laws that followed the 2021 Surfside collapse, I am not going to pin this county's numbers on any single cause, but if you are shopping a Brevard condo, the association's budget and milestone-inspection status matter as much as the unit itself.

Where these numbers come from

The methodology, in full.

Most market reports summarize a listing feed. This one reads the public record.

01

The source is the county roll

Every number on this page is computed from the Brevard County Property Appraiser's public parcel roll, the same records your tax bill comes from. That means recorded sale prices, including for-sale-by-owner and off-market transfers a listing feed never sees, with sales data through June 18, 2026.

02

What gets filtered out, and why

Recorded prices under $30,000 are excluded, those are mostly quitclaims and family transfers, not market sales. Prices over $5 million are excluded as outliers. And when one price repeats across many parcels on the same date, that is one bulk builder transaction, not many retail sales, so it counts once. "Year over year" compares the trailing twelve months of data against the twelve months before that.

03

The honest limitations

The roll keeps each property's most recent sale, so a house that sold twice within the window counts once, which slightly undercounts the earlier period. That is why this page compares medians, which barely move from it, and does not publish a year-over-year sales-count change, which would. City labels are postal, not legal city limits. Out-of-state share is measured by where the new owner's tax bill is mailed, a good proxy, not a perfect one.

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask.

How is this different from a Zillow or MLS market report?

Listing-feed reports only see homes that were listed. This report is computed from the Brevard County Property Appraiser's public parcel roll, so it includes every recorded sale, on-market or off, with quitclaims, family transfers, and bulk builder deals filtered out. The full methodology, including its honest limitations, is published on the page.

Is the Brevard housing market falling?

The countywide single-family median slipped under two percent year over year in the trailing twelve months of recorded data, a plateau rather than a drop, and two of the eight cities actually rose. Condos are softer, down about four percent. Whether that is good or bad news depends entirely on whether you are buying or selling.

Why do Cocoa Beach's numbers look so different?

Cocoa Beach recorded the fewest single-family sales of the eight cities, so its median swings more, and its buyer pool is different: roughly one in five buyers gets their tax bill mailed outside Florida, by far the highest out-of-state share of any Brevard city in this data.

Can I get these numbers for a specific neighborhood?

Yes. This site publishes 96 community guides built from the same parcel roll, each with its neighborhood's real sale medians, turnover, build years, and ownership mix. If yours is not covered, text Josh the neighborhood name and he will pull the recorded numbers for it.

Want this cut for your street?

I keep the full roll on hand. Tell me the neighborhood and I will pull the real recorded numbers for it, the same way every one of the 96 community guides on this site was built. No drip campaign, no calls.
