Homes for Sale in Mims, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 44 closed sales in Quail Haven in Mims, FL since 2004, the most recent in November 2025. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $430,000 to $684,000 (median $565,000), on homes of 1,556 to 2,799 sq ft. Across Mims as a whole, 20 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $450,445, 49 median days on market, with 11 homes for sale today. At that median and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $8,820 ($8,190 with the full homestead exemption).
Quail Haven is a small pocket in Mims, and the current MLS snapshot shows no shared amenities to speak of. That means price here is driven by the individual home — lot, condition, updates, and how it shows — rather than by any community package you're buying into. Expect a wide spread between an updated house and one that needs work, because there's no HOA amenity floor propping up the low end.
With a thin closings window to read from, this is a market you price by the specific property, not by trend lines. Sellers should lean on condition and presentation to stand out; buyers should underwrite each home on its own merits and not assume the last sale down the street sets the number for theirs.
The 60-Second Overview
Quail Haven is a low-key residential enclave in Mims, in northern Brevard County, where the appeal is the home and the location rather than any built-in community amenities.

The Quail Haven buying strategy.
If we were buying in Quail Haven 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 Quail Haven.
What actually moves the number in Quail Haven
There are no community amenities identified in the current listings, so nobody here is paying a premium for a pool, gate, or clubhouse. Value comes down to the fundamentals: lot size, layout, mechanical condition, and how recently the home has been updated. Two houses on the same street can trade well apart based on condition alone.
Mims sits at the northern end of Brevard, a quieter, more spread-out part of the county. That location shapes the pitch — this is about the property and the setting, not walkable amenities. Because closings are sparse, each sale carries outsized weight in the comps, and a single well- or poorly-priced deal can distort the read. Price to the house in front of you.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Quail Haven. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a small market with thin comps and no amenity backdrop, the number lives in the details of each home. We underwrite condition, lot, and location property by property instead of leaning on a neighborhood average — which is exactly what protects a buyer from overpaying and helps a seller justify their price.
