As of October 2026, the MLS records 13 closed sales in Blakes Plat No 5 in Melbourne, FL since 2012, the most recent in August 2025. Across Melbourne as a whole, 1,127 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $385,000, 44 median days on market, with 229 homes for sale today.

Blakes is a small platted pocket in Melbourne, and with no shared amenities to lean on, price here is driven almost entirely by the individual home — its condition, its lot, and how it has been updated. There is no clubhouse, gate, or community feature carrying value across the plat, so each sale stands on its own merits.
For buyers, that means underwriting the house in front of you rather than a lifestyle package, and expecting a wide spread between a tired property and a renovated one. For sellers, condition and presentation do the heavy lifting; there is no amenity story to fall back on, so a clean, move-in-ready home is what separates a quick contract from a listing that lingers.

The 60-Second Overview
This is a location-and-condition play inside Melbourne, not an amenity community. What you buy is the individual house and its spot in Brevard County, so the specifics of each property matter more than any shared feature.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Blakes is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who prefer no HOA dues and want their budget going into the house itself
- Renovation-minded buyers hunting for a condition-driven bargain to improve
- Buyers who value a specific Melbourne location over shared facilities
Probably not for
- Buyers set on a gated or amenity-rich community with a pool or clubhouse
- Buyers who want HOA-enforced uniformity to protect resale consistency
- Buyers seeking a turnkey lifestyle package rather than a single home to evaluate

The Blakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Blakes today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Blakes.
A house-by-house market
With no amenities identified from current MLS listings, Blakes behaves like a collection of individual homes rather than a managed community. There is no HOA-driven consistency setting a floor or ceiling, which tends to widen the gap between the least and most updated properties on the market.
The upside of that structure is flexibility: you are not paying into shared facilities you may not use, and value tracks the work someone puts into the house itself. The trade-off is that you have to do more homework on each property, because comparables here reflect condition differences as much as anything else.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Blakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
