What it costs to buy in Melbourne — and how to finance it.
Melbourne’s market is anchored by defense and aerospace employment — Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Boeing, and NASA Kennedy Space Center 35 miles north collectively employ tens of thousands in Brevard; Florida Tech adds a STEM graduate and faculty cohort, with median prices well within conventional ranges.
Every Melbourne loan starts from that reality. Melbourne follows Brevard County’s national-baseline limit for 2026: $832,750 on a one-unit Melbourne home. Under that $832,750 line — where most Melbourne purchases sit — conventional, FHA, and first-time-buyer all stay in play. Melbourne itself prices solidly middle-of-market. FHFA publishes the 2026 schedule; we’ll square your numbers against it.
