Daytona Beach is a buyer's market with a condo wrinkle.

The Daytona MLS median sale price was $365,495 in May 2026 (realMLS, Daytona Beach Area). Months of supply was 6.12 months — buyer-favorable territory — down 25.5% year-over-year from 8.21. Days on market (CDOM) was 136.9 days. Sale-to-list ratio was 96.2%. The live MLS charts below show the full 12-month trajectory. Zillow's Deltona–Daytona metro inventory and price-cut share are shown live in the source bar.

Daytona's softer numbers reflect three structural factors that don't apply equally to Jacksonville. Heavier condo exposure, higher concentration of out-of-state second-home demand, and faster-rising coastal insurance premiums. Each factor compounds the others. For buyers, this creates the most negotiation room of any Northeast Florida coastal market in 2026.

For sellers, Daytona requires different positioning than markets further north. Aggressive pricing rarely produces multiple offers. Time on market routinely extends past 90 days even for well-presented homes. Sellers who price ahead of where the market sits today often end up reducing twice before going under contract.

The Daytona market splits by property type.

Daytona Beach is not one market. Single-family detached homes, beachside condos, and inland communities all behave differently. The table below breaks the broader Daytona Beach market into three primary segments.

Segment-level breakdown (SFR vs. condo vs. inland) is not published statically here as those figures are not currently wired to a verified live source. The all-types board-wide data in the table and the live MLS charts above are from realMLS Daytona MLS. The beachside condo segment structurally carries additional diligence burden: milestone inspection requirements under Florida HB 837, reserve study requirements, and special assessment overhang from the broader Florida condo market.

Why Daytona moved faster than Jacksonville.

1. Condo exposure is structural.

Florida's HB 837 milestone inspection requirements, passed after Surfside in 2021 and now phased in for buildings 25 years or older within three miles of the coast, have created real costs for older condo associations. Mandatory structural inspections, reserve studies, and the special assessments that follow have raised the true cost of condo ownership materially. Daytona Beach has roughly 3 to 4 times the condo inventory of Jacksonville relative to total housing stock, so this dynamic shows up more visibly in Daytona's median pricing.

2. Insurance has climbed faster on the coast.

Volusia County homeowners insurance premiums have outpaced Duval County in percentage growth over the past three years. Coastal exposure, wind zones, and the broader Florida property insurance crisis affect Daytona Beach more directly than Jacksonville. Premiums vary meaningfully by flood zone, wind mitigation rating, and age of construction. Beachside condos add HOA assessment costs on top.

3. Out-of-state demand was disproportionate.

Daytona Beach attracted a heavy share of out-of-state second-home and retiree buyers during the 2020-2022 migration boom, including from New York, New Jersey, and the broader Northeast. That demand has moderated as remote work flexibility has tightened and as alternative Florida markets have become relatively more attractive. The result is more inventory chasing fewer buyers, especially in condo and beachside segments where second-home demand concentrated most heavily.

How Daytona Beach compares across the region.

Daytona Beach sits at the southern edge of the Northeast Florida market and shares buyer demand with St. Augustine, Palm Coast, and to a lesser degree Jacksonville's beach communities. The table below shows where Daytona Beach lands.
