Dachs
Homes for Sale in Daytona Beach, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
With 927 homes spanning construction from 1903 to 2024 and no identified amenity package, Dachs doesn't price off a shared clubhouse or gate — it prices off the individual house. The median sits at $350,000, or $272.61 per square foot on a median 1,675.5-square-foot home, which tells you square footage and condition are doing most of the work here, not a community feature list. A median year built of 1959 puts the typical home well into its working life, so buyers should expect a real range of update status inside that number.
The posture right now is slow and buyer-favored: median days on market is 231, which is a long runway by any measure. Closings are being tracked on a trailing 3-month window, so the price signal is current but thin. 58.3% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to a market that leans toward owner-held property rather than a heavy transient or investor churn. For sellers, that long DOM means pricing has to be sharp from day one; for buyers, it means time and leverage to negotiate on condition.
The 60-Second Overview
Dachs market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $350K ($273 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 231 days on market for closed sales.
Dachs is a community of 927 homes in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, built between 1903 and 2024 (median 1959.0), with a median living area of about 1,676 square feet. 58% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Dachs is a Daytona Beach pool of 927 homes built anywhere from 1903 to 2024, trading on square footage and condition rather than any listed community amenity. At a median $350,000 and $272.61 per square foot, it reads as a value-driven, mixed-vintage market rather than a single defined subdivision feel.
Who Dachs is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comparing homes on price per square foot rather than shopping for a clubhouse or gated amenity package.
- Buyers with the flexibility to wait out a slower-moving market and negotiate on a long-listed property.
- Buyers targeting a median-range purchase near $350,000 who are prepared to evaluate condition on a case-by-case basis across an older, mixed-vintage inventory.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a defined, amenity-anchored community — none are identified in current listings here.
- Sellers who need a fast sale; the median 231-day days-on-market argues against a quick-turn listing strategy.
- Buyers wanting new or near-new construction as the baseline; the median year built here is 1959.

The Dachs buying strategy.
If we were buying in Dachs today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Dachs.
A wide build range, a single price signal
927 homes is a large enough pool that Dachs functions more like a broad Daytona Beach corridor than a tight subdivision. The year-built range, 1903 to 2024, is the widest kind of spread you'll see in a single dataset, and the median year built of 1959 confirms the center of gravity is older stock rather than new construction. That combination means two homes at the same $350,000 median price can be very different properties — the per-square-foot figure of $272.61 on a median 1,675.5 square feet is the more reliable anchor when comparing listings against each other.
No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so whatever draws a buyer to Dachs is the house and the location, not a shared pool, gate, or clubhouse. Median days on market of 231 is long, and with the median price built on a trailing 3-month closing window, the data here is directional rather than deep. That combination — long DOM, thin closing sample, wide vintage spread — is exactly the setup where careful, house-by-house comparison matters more than trusting the median alone.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Dachs. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A market with a 1903-to-2024 build range, no listed amenities, and a median days-on-market of 231 is not one where you can lean on the headline number. Momentum works this kind of inventory the way it has to be worked: comparing homes on price per square foot, condition, and true update history rather than assuming the $350,000 median describes any one house. With closings tracked on a trailing 3-month window, we also flag when the data is thin so pricing decisions — on either side of the transaction — are made with eyes open.
