How we rank a house
What puts a Palm Bay / Melbourne house first
We start with every house in Brevard County that carries a signal. Then we look for the same house on a second list, and a third. A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, is a different conversation than either signal alone. Those are the houses a small mail or call budget goes to first.
Counts as of November 13, 2026. Recently sold houses are left out.
What the data says
Palm Bay / Melbourne, by the numbers
Observations computed from the flagged houses, not opinions. They move when the data does.
23% of flagged owners don't live in the house
211 houses have an owner whose mail goes somewhere else, and 59 of those owners are out of state. An absentee owner with a problem property is the classic seller.
91 houses with a visible problem
91 have an open code case and 0 are recorded as vacant. These are the houses a driver would spot from the street; here they are flagged before anyone drives.
16 houses sit on two or more lists at once
A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, converts at a different rate than either signal alone. The stacked list is where a small mail or call budget goes first.
214 houses are in probate right now
The owner has died and an estate is open. The contact is the executor or an heir, and the house is often the only asset they need to deal with.
