For the month ending on April 30, 2020, the Daytona Beach Area Multiple Listing Service (MLS) reported that 359 existing single-family homes (detached) were sold in the greater Daytona Beach area with a median home sales price of $250,000. That’s 27 percent lower than the number of homes sold in April 2019, with a nearly 15 percent drop in sales volume. It’s 26 percent lower than sales totals in March.

The median sales price for homes bought and sold in April held steady, running lock step with the median sales price in March and about 8 percent higher than the median price in April 2019.  

Year to date, home sales around Daytona Beach are up by a mere handful over the first 4 months of 2019. The median sales price is 6.8 percent higher, reports show.

“The Coronavirus definitely did a number on home sales last month,” said Daytona Beach Area Realtor Ron Wysocarski, Broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange, FL. “But I think we may find the missing home sales from April’s report are just delayed, not lost.”

Inventory levels also fell in April, according to MLS reports. The total number of homes listed was 15 percent lower than the number of homes available in April 2019.

    • April 2020 Inventory: 2112 single family home listings were active at some point during the month
    • April 2019 Inventory: 2485 single family home listings were active at some point during the month
    • March 2020 Inventory: 2295 single family home listings were active at some point during the month
