About Brevard County, FL

This report covers all of Titusville - MLS areas 102, 103 and 104 starting near
HWY 46 to Kings HWY on the south end. Let's see how it compares to the last
report I researched on July 29th. With summer winding down and the kids back
in school, things have picked up a lot!!!

There are currently 817 active listings in Titusville
There are currently 71 properties under contract
There have been 240 closings in the past 6 months

Simply stated it will take 20.43 months to absorb the inventory of properties
for sale at the current levels. This is an improvement, a small one yes, but
an improvement nonetheless. We're moving in a positive direction. Here's
the link for the last report to compare:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/614512/HOW-LONG-WILL-IT

The formula is simple: # of sales in 6 months divided by 6 = absorption rate.
# of listings divided by absorption rate = number of months to absorb.

There are 9,049 single family residences currently listed in Brevard MLS

6,675 single family houses
1,868 condos
506 townhouses

NASA has finished the 5 hour journey of rolling out the Shuttle Atlantis to the launch pad, yesterday. The shuttle crawler travels at a rate of about 1 mile per hour.

Atlantis is located at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral Florida, just 30 minutes north of Melbourne in Brevard County.

The shuttle is carrying batteries and special instruments to the Hubble Space Telescope. This is the final trip to the telescope.

Atlantis is scheduled to lift off October 8, 2008, weather permitting. It was already delayed by Tropical Storm Fay and Hanna. This is the first time ever the shuttle has been transported to the launch pad with a named hurricane (Ike) out in the tropics. If other storms become a threat, then she will be returned to the vehicle assembly building.

People travel across the nation and from other countries to come and see a shuttle liftoff. If you have never experienced one, it is a thrill to "feel and see"!

I feel so fortunate that I can stand in my driveway and get a clear view of the incredible shuttle liftoff! It is absolutely breathtaking!

All eyes are on Hurricane Gustav, headed straight for NEW ORLEANS AGAIN, This storm is a monster, like Hurricane Katrina was! It is a category 3 hurricane, that was a Category 4. This is absolutely devastating for the people of the Gulf Coast!

Gustav has skirted past Florida and has a direct path to Louisiana.

New Orleans cannot afford another storm after Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 that devastated them!

Many families are still in FEMA trailers as their homes have not been rebuilt yet.

The levees have not been fixed. They are not ready for a storm of this magnitude.

Tropical Storm Fay, 2 weeks ago brought us 27 inches of rain here in Melbourne Florida. It was only 30 to 40 mile per hour winds. But, many lost their homes due to flooding across the state of Florida.

Gustav is packing 115 mile per hour winds!

I was in Hurricane Jean and Frances in 2004. They are not to be taken lightly.

Mandatory evacuations are in effect for ALL RESIDENTS in Lousiana. Tens of thousands are being shipped out in cars, buses, trains, planes and whatever way they can get people out of the state. They are being shipped all over the United States. Read the story here http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080831/BREAKINGNEWS/80831001/-1/&source=nletter-news.

Pets are being shipped out also.

If they stay, there will be no help and no place for residents to evacuate within New Orleans should they get flooded by the storm.

The SuperDome, which housed thousands during Katrina will not be used as a shelter this time.

There is an evacuation order for parts of Alabama now also.

Gustav is expected to make landfall sometime tomorrow.

There are two storms directly behind Hurricane Gustav.

Tropical Storm Hanna is headed for the east coast of Florida. http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080831/NEWS01/808310321/-1/&source=nletter-news And the other storm has not been named.

Let us all keep these families in our thoughts and prayers as Hurricane Gustav finds his way onto shore.
