Jon's Current Read

"Forest Trace is a small single-family community of about 133 homes on the south side of Titusville off Sisson Road, platted in 2016 and built mostly from late 2018 to mid 2021 by DR Horton under the Express Homes line. The read is simple and uniform: this is recent block-built product on modest lots, three to five bedrooms, with a low HOA that handles common areas, the entrance, and pond management. The buy turns on the specific floor plan, the lot and its drainage, condition since the home is only a few years old, and confirming the current HOA dues and what they cover with the listing."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Forest Trace market snapshot (as of June 17, 2026): the median sale price is about $360K ($201 per sq ft), a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 7 recent closings in live Space Coast MLS data.

Forest Trace is a single-family community of about 133 homes on the south side of Titusville (ZIP 32780), Brevard County, off Sisson Road between State Road 50 and Columbia Boulevard (Forest Trace HOA and builder community profiles).

The community was platted in 2016, with the first homes built in late 2018 and the last completed around mid 2021 by DR Horton under its Express Homes line, so the housing stock is newer and fairly uniform.

Homes are generally three to five bedrooms in the roughly 1,700 to 2,600 square foot range, block-built on modest lots. Because the product is recent and consistent, the floor plan, the lot, and condition separate one home from the next more than age does.

The HOA is light and covers common-area mowing, the entrance garden and sign, the fountain, common electric, and pond management. Management transferred from the developer to the homeowners in June 2021. Confirm the current dues and exactly what they cover with the listing.

Best for

  • Buyers who want a newer single-family home with a low HOA in south Titusville
  • Buyers who want proximity to the Space Coast tech corridor, I-95, and US 1
  • Buyers who value a small, uniform community of recent construction

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a gated or amenity-rich community with a pool or clubhouse
  • Buyers who want a large lot, acreage, or a custom or estate home
  • Buyers who want a beachfront or barrier-island location

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

    Forest Trace was platted in 2016, with the first homes built in late 2018 and the last completed around mid 2021 by DR Horton under its Express Homes line, a community of about 133 single-family homes in south Titusville.

If we were buying in Forest Trace, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Confirm the current HOA dues and exactly what they cover with the listing, since the HOA is light and covers common areas, the entrance, and pond management.

2

Identify the floor plan and square footage, since the DR Horton plans here are similar and the right plan for how you live matters more than vintage.

3

Read the lot and its drainage, since pond-adjacent and interior lots differ and Brevard low-lying lots warrant a drainage and flood-zone check.

4

Read condition even on a newer home, the roof, HVAC, and any builder-grade finishes that may be due for updates.

5

Comp within Forest Trace and nearby south Titusville, not against gated or amenity communities.

Best Buy
A well-kept DR Horton plan that fits how you live, on a dry, well-draining lot, with the HOA dues and coverage confirmed.
Biggest Risk
Overpaying for a builder-grade finish level, or missing a drainage or flood-zone issue on a low-lying lot.
Best Lot
Dry, well-draining interior or pond-view lots read best; confirm flood zone and drainage before you write.
Smart Timing
Confirm the current HOA dues and the lot's flood and drainage picture before you offer.

Community Details at a Glance

Forest Trace is a single-family community of about 133 homes on the south side of Titusville (32780), Brevard County, off Sisson Road between SR 50 and Columbia Boulevard. It was platted in 2016 and built mostly from late 2018 to mid 2021 by DR Horton under its Express Homes line, with three to five-bedroom block homes generally in the 1,700 to 2,600 square foot range on modest lots. A light HOA covers common areas, the entrance, the fountain, common electric, and pond management; HOA management transferred from the developer to the homeowners in June 2021. Confirm the current dues and coverage with the listing. It is zoned to Brevard Public Schools by address; verify with the district.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Entry: smaller three-bedroom plans
$259K to $357K

The most attainable homes are the smaller three-bedroom plans. Confirm the HOA dues and the lot before assuming a value.

Lowest entry
Mid: four-bedroom plans
$357K to $390K

The middle is the four-bedroom plans. Lot, condition, and updates separate these more than square footage.

Most inventory
High: larger four to five-bedroom plans on better lots
$390K to $400K

The top end is the larger plans on the better, well-draining or pond-view lots. These trade on the lot and condition.

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Forest Trace

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

The newer construction and low HOA are priced into every Forest Trace listing. The deal is won on the floor plan, the lot and its drainage, and condition, not the year built.

Most pages on this community are an automated estimate wrapped in stock copy. This one is built from the live Space Coast MLS feed, fourteen years of closed sales, and a renovation-by-renovation read of what actually moves value here, lot by lot. No Zestimate, no guesswork.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Value ($/sqft)
$261 value$401 premium
Lake / waterPreserveInterior

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from Space Coast MLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Dry, well-draining interior and pond-view lots read best here.
  • Confirm the flood zone and drainage on any low-lying lot.
  • Plan and condition matter as much as the lot in a uniform community.

In a small, uniform community like Forest Trace, the floor plan, the lot, and condition together set value. Dry, well-draining interior and pond-view lots hold value better than low-lying ones, so confirm the flood zone and the lot's drainage before you write. Compare a home against the closest sale in Forest Trace and nearby south Titusville, and read the plan and condition before the finishes.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • Single light HOA; confirm current dues and coverage with the listing.
  • No pool or clubhouse; this is a small single-family enclave.
  • Newer DR Horton product, mostly 2018 to 2021.
  • Read the lot's drainage and flood zone before you write.
  • Comp within Forest Trace and nearby south Titusville.

Forest Trace has a single light HOA. One non-MLS community source reports dues around 37 dollars per month covering common areas, the entrance, the fountain, common electric, and pond management; treat that as reported and confirm the current HOA dues and exactly what they cover with the listing before you offer.

The HOA generally covers common-area mowing, the entrance garden and sign, the fountain, common electric, pond management, and the architectural and community-wide standards. Confirm exactly what is covered for the home.

No golf club and no resort amenities; Forest Trace is a small single-family community with common green areas and a pond. Confirm any amenities with the listing.

The takeaway

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

In Forest Trace, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Summerwood Villas, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
