As of September 2026, the MLS records 51 closed sales in North Grove in Merritt Island, FL since 2005, the most recent in May 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $400,000 to $760,000 (median $528,000), on homes of 1,980 to 3,168 sq ft. Across Merritt Island as a whole, 267 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $439,900, 49 median days on market, with 71 homes for sale today. At that median and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $8,240 ($7,620 with the full homestead exemption).
North Grove sits in Merritt Island with a median around $465,000 and a median of roughly $204 per square foot. Those two numbers together tell you price here is driven less by a fixed tier and more by what a given home offers in size and condition. There are no shared community amenities identified in current listings, so nothing structural is padding value — you are paying for the house and the location, not a clubhouse or gated entry.
The market posture is slow. Median days on market is about 141 — well past a month, into the range where sellers need patience and sharp pricing. For buyers that means room to negotiate and time to do diligence without a bidding-war clock. For sellers it means the market is testing your price; homes that are dated or ambitiously listed sit, and the well-prepared ones set the pace. Note the closing sample is thin — only three closings in the window — so read every figure as a directional snapshot, not a precision gauge.
The 60-Second Overview
North Grove is a Merritt Island pocket with no identified shared amenities, so its appeal rests on the individual home and its Brevard County location rather than community features. With homes taking around 141 days to move, this is a deliberate market, not a hot one.

The North Grove buying strategy.
If we were buying in North Grove 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 North Grove.
A patient market on the Island
The headline story here is time. A median of roughly 141 days on market is a long runway by any measure, and it changes how both sides should behave. Buyers can move methodically — inspections, comparisons, and price conversations all happen without the pressure that defines faster submarkets. Sellers should assume their home will be shopped against, and priced accordingly from day one, because there is little evidence that waiting for a premium works here.
With amenities showing as none identified from current MLS listings, value comes down to the home itself: square footage, condition, and updates against that roughly $204-per-square-foot median. Expect a wide spread between move-in-ready and project homes at similar sizes. Because the closing sample is only three, treat the median price near $465,000 as a reference point rather than a hard rule, and lean on a current comparative analysis before committing to a number.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in North Grove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

Straight numbers, straight advice, no hype.
