Oceanfront condos in Brevard County-Florida's Space Coast

Today's paper, Florida Today, reports our temperature will be a high of 83°F (31°C) and a low of 76°F (27°C). Not bad for October 8^th. In New York today's low is forecasted at 51°F (11°C) and in Montreal the low is expected to drop to a chilly 37°F (2°C). Brrrr!

I'm thinking some people might be dreaming about spending this winter at the beach. And I'm wondering if those future snowbirds know about Florida's Space Coast. I think we have an untapped market here with lots of opportunity for those wishing to invest in a second home. And I've been spending a lot of time viewing ocean front condos lately. From Cape Canaveral to Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach there are very nice pieces of property available at a reasonable cost.

According to the Brevard County MLS there are currently 489 active ocean front condos available and 26 under contract today. In the past 90 days 59 of these condos were sold. Four 1 bedroom, 1 bath units were sold. Three of these were in Cocoa Beach (US$86K, $98.5K and $99K) and one in Indialantic ($120K). Twenty-five 2 bedroom units were sold at a low of $156K and a high of $280K. The remaining 30 units were 3 bedrooms or more and sold for $150K-$850K.

Whether you are looking for a high rise with a view to East of the ocean and a view to the West of the Banana River or a second story unit with a fantastic view of the ocean from the moment you walk in the door, there is plenty of choice. Port Canaveral offers several seafood restaurants to choose from with live music nightly and a view of the casino cruise which sails nightly. Cocoa Beach is alive with night life and Satellite Beach has a quieter, more family-oriented feel.

There is much to see and do in Brevard County, from outdoor water activities to the Kennedy Space Center and it is conveniently located to Orlando, the Orlando International Airport, Disney World and the many theme parks and attractions available there. According to Wikipedia January is the coldest month with an average low of 50.7 °F (10.4 °C); average high 71 °F (22 °C). The warmest months are July and August with average highs of 90 °F (32 °C); average lows 72.2.
