From October 19 through November 1, 2026, our live Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors MLS feed logged 435 price cuts, 137 listings moving into a contract and 488 new listings in Volusia and Flagler counties. That is about 3.2 price cuts for every new contract, nearly the same as the 3.1 recorded from October 5 to 18. The median cut was 3.2 percent, or $10,000, and 41 cuts reached 10 percent or more. The 435 cuts equal about 19 percent of the 2,263 active listings on our map on November 2. All figures are ours, computed from Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors MLS records; information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

This is a two-week read on listing activity. Our Daytona contracts pickup article covered contract pace in October, the Volusia condos under contract article covered condo inventory, and the completed-month figures are in the Daytona median price, days on market and seller concessions articles and on the Daytona market data hub.

How many Daytona-area sellers cut their price?

The pace held steady across October. Our feed recorded:

Source: Momentum Research, computed from Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors MLS change log, October 5 to November 1, 2026. Each listing counted once per activity in each window. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Of the 435 cuts in the latest window, 125 were 5 percent or more. Eight listings were cut twice in the two weeks. Fourteen listings that were cut went into a contract before November 1. The median listing that took a cut was priced at $350,000 before the cut. Back-on-market listings rose from 70 to 85, so more deals fell apart in the second half of October than in the first.

Which property types took the deepest cuts?

Condos. The median condo cut was 3.9 percent, against 2.9 percent for single-family homes and townhouses.

Single-family sellers cut more often: the 297 cuts equal about 24 percent of active houses, against 12 percent of active condos. Condo sellers who did cut went further. Daytona Beach led condo cuts with 36 and Daytona Beach Shores followed with 24. Condo buildings and their fees are listed on our Volusia County condo communities page.

Where were the price cuts?

Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and Port Orange accounted for more than half.

Port Orange stands out: 23 listings came back on the market from a contract, about as many as the 22 that went into one. Ormond Beach added the most new listings, 111. Prices for each place are on the Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Palm Coast, Daytona Beach Shores and South Daytona market pages.

Which price ranges saw the most cuts?

The lower tiers, where most of the supply sits.

Homes under $300,000 drew the most contracts, 58, and ran at about 2.7 cuts per contract. From $300,000 to $999,999 the ratio sat between 3.4 and 3.7. New listings went into contract at a median list price of $320,000, below the $359,450 median for new listings.

What is changing in Palm Coast's housing pipeline?

Two Palm Coast council votes on October 21 shift planned rentals toward for-sale homes and parks, according to FlaglerLive. The council unanimously approved changing a 35-acre site at 76 Red Mill Drive in the R-Section from a 216-unit apartment complex to 216 single-family houses in attached clusters, on lots at least 20 feet wide for interior units and 25 feet for end units, built in three phases. Separately, a circuit judge sent the Flagler Home Builders Association's suit over Palm Coast's 2025 impact fee increases, which averaged more than 100 percent, toward trial and ordered mediation; the city keeps collecting the higher fees while a refund order is on appeal, FlaglerLive reported. Those fees feed into the cost of new construction. Our Daytona area new-home communities roundup lists active builder communities.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

For buyers, about one active listing in five took a cut in two weeks, and the median cut was $10,000. Condo buyers along the beach have the most room on price. Compare carrying costs before an offer with the Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and Port Orange insurance estimates, the Volusia County and Flagler County HOA fee pages and the Daytona Beach flood zones page.

For sellers, a single cut of about 3 percent has become routine, and 85 listings returned to market from a contract in two weeks. Inspection and insurance documents ready at listing can help keep a deal together.

Limitations

Counts come from the change log of our live Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors MLS feed, which records a change when our refresh sees it. A listing that changed more than once in a category within a window is counted once, and a change that reversed between refreshes may be missed. This MLS does not carry every listing in Volusia and Flagler counties; some homes, especially in Flagler County and west Volusia, are listed only in other MLS systems, so city counts for Palm Coast, DeLand and Deltona understate the full market. Contracts combine pending and under contract. Active counts are a live map snapshot. Figures may be revised as the MLS updates records. This article is general information, not advice about any specific property or transaction.
