Jon's Current Read

"Higbee is an affordable, established mainland Daytona Beach neighborhood of mostly block-construction homes, and the read is entry-level value: durable, low-maintenance block houses across a wide size range at some of the lowest price points in the area. It competes purely on affordability and a central location rather than amenities, so carrying cost is mostly taxes and insurance. With low price points, the work is comping the specific home by size and condition, confirming financeability, and pulling the per-address flood zone."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Higbee market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $215K ($145 per sq ft), with homes averaging 69 days on market and 2.4 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Values are down 22% over the past year and up 176% since 2016, based on 5 recent closings in live Daytona-area MLS data.

Higbee is an established residential neighborhood on the mainland in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, recorded in plat names such as Higbee and Higbee H L Addition (Watson Realty, neighborhoods.com, and Adams Cameron profiles, 2026). It is an affordable, established pocket rather than a gated or amenity community.

Homes are characterized by sturdy block exterior construction, which favors durability and low maintenance, and span a wide range from about 768 to 2,873 square feet. Recent listing activity in the Higbee H L Addition section has shown an average price around $136,842 and an average size near 1,030 square feet, among the more affordable mainland options (third-party listings, 2026).

The location is central and convenient, close to downtown Daytona Beach, the Speedway, the airport, and quick connections to US-1 and I-95. It is a modest, established neighborhood where affordability is the defining feature.

As a mainland neighborhood with little or no community association overhead, the carrying cost is mostly taxes and insurance. Because price points are low, buyers should confirm financeability (some low-priced or as-is homes can be cash-only), comp the specific home, pull the FEMA flood zone for the address, and verify school assignments by address.

Best for

  • Buyers who want one of the more affordable established Daytona Beach homes
  • Value buyers and investors comfortable with older block homes
  • Owner-occupants who prefer a central mainland location

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a gated, amenity-rich or new-construction community
  • Anyone who needs to be on or walk to the beach (this is the mainland side)
  • Buyers unwilling to inspect older homes or confirm financeability

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

    Volusia County property tax rates run in the mid-teens to low twenties in mills depending on the taxing district, with an effective rate around one percent of value (Volusia County Property Appraiser, 2024 tax year). Why it matters: Because homes carry little or no HOA, taxes and insurance are the main carrying-cost lines; at low prices, confirm the home is financeable or plan for cash. Source

If we were buying in Higbee, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Comp by size and condition. Homes span a wide size range; price off the closest same-size, same-condition home in the neighborhood, not a single average.

2

Confirm financeability. At low price points, some homes sell as-is or cash-only; confirm the home meets your lender's requirements or plan for cash.

3

Inspect the block home closely. Older block homes can carry roof, plumbing, electrical, and system timelines; budget accordingly.

4

Pull the FEMA flood zone for the address. Check the specific home's zone and get an insurance quote before you write.

5

Verify school assignments by address. Volusia County assigns schools by address; confirm the exact zoned schools using the district locator.

Best Buy
A structurally sound block home at an affordable basis, comped by size and condition, with financeability and the flood zone verified.
Biggest Risk
Older-home condition and system timelines, financeability at low prices, and per-address flood cost.
Best Lot
Larger and better-positioned lots carry a premium; the neighborhood is not gated, so position matters.
Smart Timing
Confirm current days on market; affordable mainland Daytona homes can move quickly, especially to cash buyers.

Community Details at a Glance

Higbee is an established residential neighborhood on the mainland in Daytona Beach, Volusia County, recorded in plat names such as Higbee and Higbee H L Addition. Homes are characterized by sturdy block exterior construction and span a wide range from about 768 to 2,873 square feet, with recent activity in the Higbee H L Addition section showing an average price around $136,842 and average size near 1,030 square feet (third-party listings, 2026), among the more affordable mainland options. It is central to downtown Daytona Beach, the Speedway, and the airport, with no formal HOA on most homes.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Entry: small as-is block homes
$150K to $215K

The value end of Higbee, the smallest or as-is block homes at the lowest price points, around the $130,000s in recent activity. Inspect closely and confirm financeability or plan for cash.

Lowest entry
Mid: updated block homes
$215K to $290K

The core of the neighborhood: block homes around 1,000 to 1,400 square feet in move-in condition. Updates and lot separate these; comp against the closest same-size sale.

Most inventory
High: larger block homes
$290K to $299K

The upper end runs to the larger homes toward 2,873 square feet or fully updated properties. Price each on size, lot, and condition rather than the neighborhood average.

Strongest resale

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Higbee

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

Affordability and a central mainland location are the draw at Higbee. The deal is in buying a sound block home at the right comp, confirming financeability, and verifying the flood zone, not in the low sticker alone.

Why our read on Higbee is different.

Most pages on this community are an automated estimate wrapped in stock copy. This one is built from the live DBAAR feed, fourteen years of closed sales, and a renovation-by-renovation read of what actually moves value here, lot by lot. No Zestimate, no guesswork.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Value ($/sqft)
$261 value$401 premium
Lake / waterPreserveInterior

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from DBAAR; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Size and condition drive price within a wide range; larger, sound homes over small as-is ones.
  • Small as-is block homes are the value and investor play.
  • Comp like-for-like by size and condition, not neighborhood-wide.

In Higbee, value is driven by home size, condition, and lot rather than a uniform product, because the block-home stock spans a wide range at low price points. Larger, structurally sound, updated homes command a premium over small as-is homes. Because prices are low, financeability and condition weigh heavily, so compare a home against the closest same-size, same-condition sale, with the per-address flood zone verified.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • No HOA: carrying cost is taxes and insurance only.
  • Block construction favors durability and low maintenance.
  • At low price points, confirm financeability before you count on a mortgage.

Higbee homes are generally not part of a formal mandatory homeowners association, so the carrying cost is taxes and insurance rather than dues. Confirm there are no recorded deed restrictions on the specific parcel.

There is no association or amenity campus; this is an affordable, established residential neighborhood.

There is no golf course or private club; Higbee is a modest established neighborhood.

The takeaway

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus the Jacksonville metro average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.

In Higbee, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Bostwick Park, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
