🚀 SPACE COAST MARKET UPDATE — August 2026
If you're building rockets by day, here's what's happening with real estate close to the pad.
📍 MERRITT ISLAND — median price $465K | 50 days to contract Home base for Blue Origin's new $600M "Project Horizon" expansion — 500 new jobs at Rocket Park, minutes from KSC across the causeway. Prices have eased slightly and inventory has grown, which means more room to negotiate right now.
🏖️ COCOA BEACH — median price $638K | +12.5% YoY | 53 days to contract Demand for beach-close living keeps climbing — about half of listings go under contract within days, and sellers are capturing 92.5% of asking price. If oceanfront or walk-to-the-beach is the goal, this is the area moving fastest.
🛰️ CAPE CANAVERAL — median value $317K | 179 homes on the market The most affordable of the three, and still the closest you can live to the pads — walk to Port Canaveral, and watch SpaceX and ULA launches from your own street. A great entry point for first-time buyers on Space Center salaries.
🌴 BREVARD COUNTY overall: median $345K, homes taking about 68 days to go under contract — more breathing room for buyers than we've seen in a while.
With Blue Origin, SpaceX, ULA, and NASA all growing on the Space Coast, we're fielding more relocation questions than ever from incoming engineers and technicians. If you (or someone on your team) is weighing a move, I'll walk you through the numbers for your specific commute and budget — no pressure, just real data.
