For September, the Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service reported that 418 existing single-family homes 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 slightly higher than they were around this time last year, according to an analysis of MLS data by Realtor Ron Wysocarski, broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange,
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% over September 2018. Year to date, the median sales price remains 5.5% higher than it was during the first nine 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 sales dropped from August, but that’s normal, according to Wysocarski, as families settle into a new school year.
Inventory levels dropped again slightly in September. The total number of homes that were active on the MLS at some point during September, 2,228, was down from September of last year 2,300.
Wyse Home Team Realty also analyzed data for key areas where homebuyers shop. Median sales prices were particularly strong in Ormond Beach and on the beachside.
• Ormond Beach: $299,000 median sales price.
• Mainland Daytona: $166,000 median sales price.
• Beachside (Ormond-by-the-Sea to Ponce Inlet): $285,000 median sales price.
