Data as of September 20, 2026. Based on information from the Space Coast MLS for the period 2025 through 2026; housing-stock figures from Florida Department of Revenue public records.

In Egret's Reserve, price is a condition story, not an amenity story. There's nothing identified in the current MLS listings by way of community features, so what you're paying for is the house itself — its size, its finish level, and how much work it needs. The median sits around $734,450, or roughly $236 per square foot, but expect a wide spread underneath that number depending on how a given home shows.
Market posture right now is quick but softer year over year. The median home is going under contract in about two weeks, so well-priced, well-presented listings still move. But values are down roughly 11.8% from a year ago, which tells both sides the same thing: this is a market where pricing to today, not to last year, is what closes. Sellers who chase an old number sit; buyers who move on a sharp listing don't have long to think.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($732K) is down 9.4% from the prior 12 months ($808K). With about 6 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Space Coast MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20.

The Egret's Reserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in Egret's Reserve 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 Egret's Reserve.
A condition-priced pocket in a cooling market
With no community amenities identified from current listings, the valuation here rides almost entirely on the individual home. That makes the median a useful anchor but a poor predictor for any one address — updated square footage and finish will pull a price well above the mid-$700s, while a home needing work can land meaningfully below it. Read each listing on its own merits.
The pace tells you presentation still matters. A median of about 14.5 days on market means clean, correctly priced homes don't linger, even with values off roughly 11.8% year over year. The read on a small closings window like this one is that a handful of sales can swing the median, so treat the snapshot as directional and confirm against the specific comps for the home you're weighing.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Egret's Reserve. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Egret's Reserve buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (5.0). Basis: Recent Direction -9.4% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 13% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 100.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a small, condition-driven pocket like this, the median can mislead you either direction. We price and negotiate off the specific home in front of you — its finish, its footprint, its actual comps — not a headline number, and in a market that's cooled year over year while still moving fast, that discipline is what protects a buyer from overpaying and a seller from mispricing into stagnation.
