As of October 2026, Forest Lake Daytona Beach in Daytona Beach, FL has 2 homes for sale. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1983–2003; 5 of 5 report an HOA (median $196/mo); 3 of the 5 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 28 ft).

Forest Lake Daytona Beach is a pool-community enclave in Volusia County with exactly two active listings as of mid-July 2026. That shallow inventory—combined with six months' supply—tells you this is a small neighborhood where turnover is infrequent and choices are limited. Buyers looking here should expect to wait for the right house or move quickly when one appears.
The balanced market posture at 6.0 months means neither buyer nor seller holds a decisive edge. Negotiating room exists, but with only two homes on the market the practical constraint is availability, not leverage. Sellers can price to market and expect reasonable time-on-market; buyers should be ready to act but should not expect distress-level concessions.
Figures in this note are as of July 17, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Forest Lake right now
🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of DBAMLS records, as of July 12, 2026. Confidence: Low (2 active and pending listings, 0 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview
Forest Lake Daytona Beach is a small Volusia County pool community where inventory is lean and turnover sporadic; the current balanced market gives both sides room to negotiate, but scarcity of listings will set the real tempo.

Who Forest Lake is best for.
Best for
- The buyer targeting Daytona Beach who values pool access and accepts that inventory scarcity will dictate pace and limit negotiating leverage.
- The investor or second-home buyer willing to monitor a thin market over months, knowing the right acquisition may require a long watch and a fast close.
- The seller-in-waiting who already lives here and wants to understand current positioning before listing into a two-home snapshot.
Probably not for
- The buyer who needs to compare three or four similar homes side-by-side before deciding—Forest Lake does not offer that volume right now.
- The timeline-driven buyer relocating on a fixed schedule; two listings cannot guarantee a match within your window.
- The bargain hunter counting on distress or competition-free negotiating—balanced supply at this scale means each home will be priced and negotiated on its own merits, not desperation.

The Forest Lake buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Lake 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 Forest Lake.
Inventory scarcity in a balanced frame
Two active listings in a community this size means Forest Lake Daytona Beach is not a browsing market—it is a monitoring market. Buyers commit to watching the feed and moving when a home checks the boxes. The six-month supply figure suggests equilibrium in theory, but in practice scarcity trumps statistics: if neither of the current listings fits your criteria, you wait.
The community shares a pool amenity; verify current access, fees, and any capital-assessment plans with the HOA before writing an offer. In a market this thin, condition and location within the neighborhood will drive every negotiation more than list price. Expect variance in finishes, lot position, and deferred maintenance—two listings means two very different conversations.
For sellers, the balanced band and low inventory mean your home will get attention, but pricing discipline still matters. Overreach and you sit; price to recent absorption and you move in a reasonable window. For buyers, patience and decisiveness must coexist: know your must-haves, be ready to tour same-day, and understand that the next comparable listing may not surface for months.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest Lake. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

What it really costs to own in Forest Lake
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $2,097/yr across 4 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-20). |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | Median $196/month across 5 MLS listings (most billed monthly; 2026-10-20). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Volusia County is $1,807/yr (3,573 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1983 across 4 listings. An original roof here would be about 43 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
