The Vero Beach Real Estate Market for single family homes on the island in July 2016 was again less active than in June and the same period last year with fewer sales as the lack of inventory in price ranges that are in demand such as in the $600,000 to $650,000 price range continues to impact the market. Sale prices have stabilized but still increased by 9% compared to the same period last year as some buyers are priced out of that market in some of the price ranges that are in demand.
