Why are so many Brevard County, Florida homes and condos expiring without selling? This is a good question for discussion, and a very serious matter for someone who has to sell their home and can't. There are several reasons why this is happening, but first let's take a brief look at the numbers.
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA EXPIRED HOME LISTING NUMBERS
Last month in April there were 737 listings that expired in Brevard for both single family homes and condos. The first day of May there were 333! Many of these expired listings were short sales, further complicating things for the owners of those homes. A short sale is when a home is being sold for less than the amount owed to the lender. To put it in perspective, there were 586 closed, 962 pending/contingent, and 1599 new listings in April. These numbers are all from the Brevard MLS.
WHY DIDN'T MY BREVARD COUNTY HOME OR CONDO SELL?
Well, as you can see there were many that did sell and even more that had contracts executed. There are several primary reasons why a home does not sell. It is understood that there are always exceptions and the following are a few of the main reasons a home does not sell in Brevard County, Florida:
-Price
-Ineffective Marketing
-Difficult or complicated to sell

Denise: Excellent Brevard County information for your target market! Very nice post!
Debe-Thanks for the encouraging comment! That means a great deal to me, I appreciate it very much. I am so blessed to have so many opportunities that I have found on AR including meeting Katerina and you! Thank you again and take care.
Hi Denise....Funny thing, no matter where you live what you market is doing, it's always price that Sells Homes. Buyers are comparitive shoppers and are not only looking for a nice home, but one that is price well. So always be proactive with pricing a home, if there are no showings then you are usualy over priced by a lot, if you are getting showings and no offers look at the inside and outside to see if anything can be done to make a difference and adjust the price until you get a offer.
Great post good explantion!
Hi Denise - great post for frustrated sellers - Fred is right on the money!
That is some really good stuff. So many sellers are surely frustrated right now with the large inventory of homes available, and theirs not selling!
Fred-Good to hear from you! You give some very wise advice in your comment. Thanks for taking the time to share it. Take care.
Virginia-Thanks for the comment, you are right, once again Fred's wisdom is seen! Take care.
Hi Jeremy, Thank you for the great comment. You are right, there is a great deal of frustration. Cooler heads with knowledge and integrity will prevail. Thanks!
Hi Denise, Great Post!!! It is a very frustrating market, not enought buyers to go around. That is why price and marketing are more important that ever.
Barbara, Thanks for stopping by and commenting! You are so right about price and marketing. Thanks again and take care.
Denise: I know it's tough for the home sellers but things are bound to improve and from what I hear, things are improving in Florida. I think your advice about finding an agent who knows who to market the home in a challenging market is key plus an agent who is optimistic and has a very positive "can do" attitude. Sounds like your team fits the bill.
Denise, I know it's frustrating to sellers, but in this market there are so many key factors involved to make the sale with all the choices available. That's why it's even more important to use the Professional to get the job done.
Homes with the Best Price in the Best Condition with the Best Terms are selling! Great post, unfortunately we as professionals can only prescribe recommendations - it is up to the sellers to follow our plan of care to sell their home :)
Great Post Denise
Sincerely,
Grace
Interesting info. Thanks.
