As of October 2026, Hilltop Manor in Merritt Island, FL has 1 home for sale. Hilltop Manor is a community in Merritt Island, Brevard County, FL. Across Merritt Island as a whole, 263 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $440,000, 48 median days on market, with 224 homes for sale today. At that median and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,870 ($6,240 with the full homestead exemption).
Hilltop Manor is a 35-home enclave on Merritt Island with exceptionally large homes - median living area is 3,544 square feet - and a sixty-year construction span. Homes date from 1964 to 2024, with a median year of 1980. That spread means you encounter teardown-era original construction alongside complete rebuilds and a few new infills, all carrying the same address prefix. Price is almost entirely a function of when the home was last renovated or replaced, not lot premiums or HOA perks.
The market today is balanced, with six months of supply and one active listing. High homestead share (86%) means turnover is infrequent; most owners stay put. When a property does list, expect condition and update level to drive negotiation more than comps, because the housing stock here is so heterogeneous. Buyers get time to inspect and negotiate; sellers need realistic pricing tied to the specific home's generation and finish.
Figures in this note are as of July 16, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Space Coast MLS records, as of July 15, 2026.

Who Hilltop Manor is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who prioritize square footage and lot size over HOA pools and clubhouses, and who can budget for potential system upgrades in older homes
- Hands-on owners comfortable evaluating renovation scope and managing contractor relationships to bring a mid-century home up to their standard
- Long-term holders who value stability and low turnover, and who do not plan to flip or rely on rapid appreciation to build equity
Probably not for
- Buyers who need recent comps and predictable resale pricing to feel confident in their purchase decision
- First-time buyers without renovation experience or contractor networks, facing a home that may hide deferred maintenance behind original finishes
- Anyone expecting community amenities, a unified architectural aesthetic, or a neighborhood brand that supports resale marketing

The Hilltop Manor buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hilltop Manor 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 Hilltop Manor.
Why size and vintage set the price
The defining fact here is scale: homes are large - median living space is 3,544 square feet - on a street where the building stock ranges from mid-century originals to brand-new construction. There is no community center, no pool, no amenity package binding these parcels into a lifestyle product. What you are buying is the land and the structure on it, and those two variables swing wildly.
Eighty-six percent of parcels carry homestead exemptions, so this is an owner-occupied enclave with infrequent turnover. The result is a thin resale market where each listing is its own story: one home may be a preserved original with deferred systems, another a full gut-and-rebuild. Comparable sales are difficult to apply because age, updates, and square footage do not move in lockstep. Appraisers and buyers both need to assess each property on its own merits, not on neighborhood averages.
Right now the market holds six months of supply - textbook balance - and just one active listing. That means neither urgency nor desperation. Buyers have negotiating room if they can document condition issues; sellers have stability if the home is move-in ready and priced to its actual state. The neighborhood name does not carry cachet or HOA support, so marketing relies entirely on the home's presentation and the broker's ability to reach the narrow buyer pool looking for large houses on Merritt Island without resort-style expectations.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hilltop Manor. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Hilltop Manor's thin inventory and wide variance in home condition require a broker who will price and market based on the specific asset, not neighborhood averages that do not exist. Momentum's agents know Brevard's large-home segment, understand how to position a renovated property against original-condition comps, and will tell a seller when deferred maintenance will cost them at closing. We also know when to walk a buyer away from a project that looks like a deal but will bleed equity in repairs. In a 35-home neighborhood with one listing and no formal sales pattern, you need representation that treats every transaction as a one-off, not a cookie-cutter comp exercise.
