Brevard County Real Estate Market Report for August 2024




Unemployment Rates

The unemployment rate is a great market indicator for the future market. As long as employment numbers are strong, mortgages will be paid and manufactured items will be purchased.

Adam's Insight: The August unemployment rate dropped, and I would have never guessed it. The economy felt weaker, the news looked gloomy, but facts felt different from the Social Media. We will see what continues, but my gut tells me that the unemployment rates will continue to grow and this was a fluke.

Adam's Insight: Florida has held our unemployment rate steady for the last 5 months. Governor Ron DeSantis has managed to keep Florida's economy strong through an interesting election year. It is easier to find electricians and home inspectors are flexible in their times.
