Sales in 2007 have slowed from the same period a month ago and condo inventory continues to creep upward. Single-family home inventory took another big jump and is at a record-setting 173 MLS listed homes in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral. I'm happy to report that our office participated in a large number of the few sales so far in March.
Here's the steal of the week; south Cocoa Beach direct river, 2/2 condo across the street from the beach listed for $274,900 ($60,000 less than the owner paid 2 years ago). This is the view.
