Brevard County Real Estate Market Report for May 2022


Unemployment Rates

A healthy economy has a 3-5% unemployment rate, however a 3-5% unemployment rate does not always indicate a healthy economy.


National Unemployment Rate


2021 2022


Adams Insight: A stable unemployment rate is a powerful indicator. The United States unemployment rate has finally stabilized in the 3.5%-4.0% range. Currently it is hard to find employees and even more difficult to buy certain items like cars and electronics. The current supply shortages when mixed with growing inflation rates creates an uncertain future. However, real estate is always a great investment. There are very few inflation proof purchases or investments, but real estate is one of them.
