It remained unclear when the inventory level of available condos in the Daytona Beach area might hit bottom as the number of available units dropped to another record low in April.

An analysis of Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service data by Wyse Home Team Realty showed that 245 condo units were sold around the Daytona Beach area in April with a median sales price of $275,250. It’s a stunning 178% higher than condo sales in April 2020, when the state of Florida shut down all but the state’s most essential services to slow the spread of COVID-19. Sales volume in April was up by more than $50 million from last year. And MLS reports show the median condo sales price soared 65% higher than the median price in April 2020. 

Meanwhile, the inventory of available condos crashed to a new low with only 508 condo units active at some point during the month of April. That’s down 7% from 549 units active in March and it’s 49% lower than the 1,006 available condo units in the Daytona Beach MLS during April 2020.

Year to date, condo sales are up 78% and the median condo sales price rose nearly 30% over the first four months of 2020.

“Condo buyers are finding it increasingly challenging to navigate market as inventory levels continue to plummet,” said Ron Wysocarski, broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange.  “Overall though, condo sales totals remain strong and buyers are finding ways to close deals in these highly competitive conditions.”
