Single family home sales were stronger in September across Daytona Beach area.

For the month ending on September 30, 2019, the Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service (MLS) reported that 418 existing single-family homes (detached) were sold in the greater Daytona Beach area with a median home sales price of $249,900. That’s 4.5 percent higher than sales were in September 2018. Year to date, home sales are a handful higher than they were around this time last year.

The median sales price in September also was up, in both monthly and annual comparisons. In fact, MLS reports show the median sales price rose by nearly 8 percent over September 2018. Year to date, the median sales price remains 5.5 percent higher than it was during the first 9 months of last year. And sales volume is up 8.6 percent compared to the first 9 months of 2018, according to MLS reports.

• September 2019: 418 sales, $249,900 median sales price.
• September 2018: 400 sales, $231,450 median sales price.

“September home sales were definitely lower than in August,” said Daytona Beach Area Realtor Ron Wysocarski, Broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange, FL. “But that’s expected. A sharp drop in single family home sales is typical in September, as local students and families are busy getting settled into a new school year.”           

Inventory levels dropped again slightly September. The total number of homes that were active on the MLS at some point during September was down by 3 percent in monthly comparisons, and down 5 percent in annual comparisons. Year to date, the inventory of single family homes listed on the MLS is up, but only by about 2 percent.

• September 2019 Inventory: 2228 single family home listings were active at some point during the month
• August 2019 Inventory: 2300 single family home listings were active at some point during the month. 
• Year-To-Date 2019 Inventory: 7578 single family home listings were active at some point during the period.
