Quail Run Estates
Homes for Sale in Merritt Island, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Quail Run Estates is a community in Merritt Island, Brevard County, FL. 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 $6,860 ($6,240 with the full homestead exemption).
Quail Run Estates is a small, built-out pocket of 49 homes on Merritt Island, with construction running from 1990 to 2002 and a median build year of 1993. There are no active listings right now, so price here is driven by whatever comes available and the condition it comes in - a home that has been updated will command a very different number than one still wearing its original finishes. With a median living area of 2,327 square feet, this is a subdivision of substantial, roomy houses rather than starter product.
For sellers, the zero-inventory posture is leverage: nothing is competing with you the moment you list, and demand for a well-kept home this size tends to be steady. For buyers, patience is the price of entry. You will likely wait for the right listing rather than choose among several, and when one appears you should be ready to move and to judge it on condition, not on a range of comps that don't currently exist.
The 60-Second Overview
This is a finished, stable enclave of larger homes on Merritt Island - 49 houses built across the 1990s into the early 2000s, with no formal community amenities and turnover that is currently at zero on the MLS.

The Quail Run Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Quail Run Estates 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 Run Estates.
A built-out enclave where condition sets the number
With homes dating from 1990 to 2002 and a median year built of 1993, most of Quail Run Estates is now three decades into its life. That matters at the inspection table: roofs, HVAC systems, and kitchens and baths in this age band have often been replaced once already, and whether they have is the single biggest swing on value. There is no price range to quote here because nothing is listed - so the honest read is that condition, not a published band, will decide what any given home fetches.
About 73.5% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to a subdivision held largely by long-term owners rather than one churning with rentals or flips. Combine that with no identified community amenities and a modest home count, and you get a quiet, low-turnover street pattern where a 2,327-square-foot floor plan is the norm. Buyers who want a pool, clubhouse, or gated services should note there are none identified here.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Quail Run Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 49-home subdivision with no active listings, deals get made through timing and relationships, not by browsing what's posted. We track this pocket closely, know how to read a 1990s-era home's true condition against its asking price, and can position a seller to capture the advantage of an empty competitive field. When inventory is this thin, having someone who sees the listing early - or knows the owner before it lists - is the whole game.
