*Space Coast Real Estate Update – September 2025**

    Sellers are gaining the upper hand as the year closes. Across single‑family homes and condos/townhomes, inventory has tightened while pending sales climb, signaling renewed confidence heading into 2026.

    **Single‑Family Market**

    - Year‑over‑year pending sales rise, showing a rebound in buyer demand.

    - Inventory approaches a 5.5‑month balance, giving sellers better leverage when homes are well presented.

    - Average sale prices remain steady; most sellers close near asking, indicating price stability after last‑summer cooling.

    - “Motivated buyers—especially those linked to NASA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin—are driving momentum for sellers,” says Bobby Freeman, Sales Advisor, McCoy Freeman Compass.

    **Condos & Townhomes**

    - Four straight months of falling inventory and a growing share of cash deals, especially along Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.

    - Showings stay high for move‑in‑ready, well‑maintained listings with ocean or river views.

    - Investor confidence and seasonal demand keep prices stable.

    - “Well‑presented oceanfront and waterfront units attract strong showing activity; cash buyers love the Space Coast lifestyle,” notes Nikki McCoy Freeman, Sales Advisor.

    **Why the Space Coast Remains Hot**

    From Cocoa Beach to Merritt Island, Viera, and Melbourne, the region draws buyers nationwide. Aerospace growth, coastal living, and robust job creation sustain demand. World‑class beaches, river boating, Port Canaveral cruises, and rocket launch views make the market both desirable and surprisingly affordable.

    **Outlook for Early 2026**

    If inventory stays tight and buyer interest holds, early 2026 should see stable pricing, healthy absorption rates, and continued interest from local and out‑of‑state buyers. “Selling before new listings swell in spring is ideal; homes that blend lifestyle appeal with smart pricing move fastest,” advises Nikki McCoy Freeman.
