Market Heat

Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-03, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $298,000, $292 per square foot, a median 165 days on market, sellers accepting 92% of original asking. At the median price and Volusia County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.21 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,730 ($4,900 with the full homestead exemption).
Ocean Grove's numbers tell the story of an established, wide-ranging housing stock moving slowly. The median price sits at $298,000, working out to $302.60 per square foot on a typical home of 1,944 square feet — a build stock that spans from 1885 to 2024 with a median build year of 1963. That mix of very old and comparatively new construction under one median means condition and vintage do more to set price here than location alone.
The current market posture is soft: a heat score of 23 and a median 176 days on market point to buyers who can take their time and sellers who need to price realistically. Prices are down 14.9% year over year, though the longer view is different — values are up 138% since 2012. With 1,404 homes in the community and 63.7% homesteaded, this reads as a market of long-term owners rather than a fast-churning resale pipeline.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Ocean Grove is a 1,404-home community in Ormond Beach, Volusia County, with a housing stock ranging from homes built in 1885 to homes built as recently as 2024. No organized community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so the draw here is the home and lot themselves rather than shared facilities.
Who Ocean Grove is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with the budget and patience to evaluate a wide range of home vintages, from pre-1900 construction to homes finished in 2024.
- Buyers looking to negotiate in a market with a heat score of 23 and a median 176 days on market, rather than compete in a fast-moving bidding environment.
- Long-term holders comfortable in a community where 63.7% of homes are already homesteaded and turnover is not rapid.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a quick close and cannot accommodate a median 176-day market timeline.
- Buyers who want uniform new construction rather than a housing stock spanning 1885 to 2024.
- Sellers expecting last year's pricing — the market is down 14.9% year over year even though it remains up 138% since 2012.

The Ocean Grove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Ocean Grove 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 Ocean Grove.
A wide build spread, a slow market
The span from 1885 to 2024 in the year-built data is unusually wide for a single community, with a median build year of 1963. That gap matters for due diligence — a buyer touring Ocean Grove could see a home built before the turn of the last century or one finished within the past couple of years, and pricing at $302.60 per square foot on a median 1,944-square-foot home has to account for that variance in systems, materials, and layout.
At a market heat score of 23 and a median 176 days on market, this is not a fast-moving segment. Prices have pulled back 14.9% year over year, which is worth sitting with rather than reacting to — the same market is up 138% since 2012, so the recent dip reads more like a cooling from an extended run than a structural reset. With 63.7% of homes homesteaded, the ownership base skews long-term, which tends to keep inventory tighter than the days-on-market number alone suggests.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Ocean Grove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (4.6). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +156% since 2012; Recent Direction -26.9% year-over-year; Pricing Power 91.7% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A build stock spanning 1885 to 2024 means no two comps behave the same way, and a median 176-day market gives sellers room to misprice if they lean on generic comparables. Momentum prices Ocean Grove listings against the specific vintage and condition of the home, not just the community median, and structures offers around the current 14.9% year-over-year pullback rather than the longer 138% run that is already priced in.
