๐ฅ Billions of dollars are being committed to the Space Coast, and most people are still reading national housing headlines to figure out what their home is worth.
๐ฐ Extant Aerospace is putting $75 million into a Melbourne facility. Relativity Space is expanding. That's on top of SpaceX and Blue Origin already here.
๐ Those are high-paying jobs, and the people filling them have to live somewhere.
๐ Mortgage rates stayed above 6.75% after the Fed's July decision. That's real friction for rate-sensitive buyers. It is not friction for someone relocating from out of state for a six-figure aerospace role.
๐ซ Buyers: premium inventory is limited, and waiting for rate relief likely means competing with a larger, better-funded pool later.
๐งโโ๏ธ Sellers: priced correctly, homes are still selling. Condition, pricing, and presentation are what separate the ones that move from the ones that sit.
The national narrative is real. It just doesn't fully apply to Brevard County. Billions in committed investment doesn't reverse overnight.
