“Despite the deep dive in home sales, we know this is not a market crash and the situation today is very different than it was in 2012,” said Daytona Beach Area Realtor Ron Wysocarski, Broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Daytona Beach, FL. “Among the differences, today’s home prices remain high and financing is still very accessible, albeit at higher interest rates.”
