Where did Daytona-area contracts pick up?

Most of the gain came from three cities on the coast. By city, the feed logged:

Ormond Beach and Port Orange together added 33 contracts, more than half of the 52-contract increase. Daytona Beach itself was flat. By ZIP code, 32174 (Ormond Beach) led with 34 contracts, followed by 32118 (Daytona Beach) with 23 and 32127 (Port Orange) with 16. Recent prices for each place are on the Ormond Beach, Port Orange, Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores and Palm Coast market pages.

Which homes went under contract?

Single-family homes carried the increase. The feed logged 125 single-family contracts in the latest window, 8.9 a day, against 6.8 a day earlier. Condo contracts rose more slowly, to 34 from 26, or 2.4 a day against 2.0. Townhouse contracts went to 11 from 8.

The median list price of homes going under contract was $359,900 in both windows, but the mix shifted. Contracts under $300,000 rose to 64 from 50, and contracts from $300,000 to $499,999 rose to 69 from 43. Contracts from $750,000 to $999,999 rose to 17 from 6. The $500,000 to $749,999 band was flat at 22 against 23.

New construction played a larger part. Our feed flagged 19 of the 177 contracts as new construction, against 6 of 125 in the earlier window. Ormond Beach had 7 of the 19. Builder communities in the area are listed on our Volusia County new construction page.

Are Daytona-area sellers still cutting prices?

Yes, at about the same pace. The 434 price cuts in the two weeks to October 25 had a median size of 3.0 percent, or $10,000, and 33 cuts reached 10 percent or more. Condo cuts were deeper, with a median of 4.1 percent across 106 cuts, against 2.8 percent across 291 single-family cuts. Only 27 listings raised their price.

Fewer deals fell apart. Our feed logged 21 listings returning from contract to active status in the latest window, against 29 in the earlier one. County-level cut counts are tracked on the Volusia County price cuts and Flagler County price cuts pages, and New Smyrna Beach prices are on its market page.

How much is for sale in the Daytona area now?

Our live map showed 2,424 active listings and 346 pending listings on October 25, 2026. Of the active listings, 1,346 were single-family homes with a median asking price near $400,000 and a median of 75 days on market. Another 901 were condos with a median asking price of $259,000 and a median of 113 days on market. Only 52 condos showed as pending, against 260 single-family homes.

New listings still outnumber contracts. The feed logged about 3.2 new listings for every contract in the latest window, down from 3.7 in the earlier window.

How does this compare with September?

Our September Daytona Market Pulse, with closings through October 24, counted 488 new contracts in September, up 16.2 percent from a year earlier. The single-family median sale price was $374,995, down 1.3 percent from September 2025, with a median of 84 days on market and 4.4 months of supply. Volusia County's September single-family median was $367,250 and Flagler County's was $399,900.

Condos have trailed houses in this market for months. In July we reported that Volusia and Flagler condos outpaced houses on one measure; the October contract data shows houses leading again. Condo buildings we track are on the Volusia County condo communities page.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

For buyers, a faster contract pace means less time to decide on well-priced homes in Ormond Beach and Port Orange, while the steady cut count keeps room to negotiate on homes that have sat. For sellers, the data shows demand responding at prices near the market median, with condos still slower. Insurance and flood costs weigh on both sides; see Daytona Beach home insurance cost and Daytona Beach flood zones by neighborhood.

Limitations

Counts come from the change log of our live Daytona Beach Area 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 happened and reversed between refreshes may be missed. Contracts are listings moving from active to pending or active under contract. The earlier window is 13 days, so comparisons use daily rates. Two weeks is a short period and can move with a handful of listings. The feed covers listings entered in the Daytona Beach Area MLS, which does not include every Flagler County or west Volusia listing. New construction flags come from the listing's MLS fields. Active and pending counts are a live map snapshot and can differ from monthly reports. Figures may be revised as the MLS updates records. This article is general information, not advice about any specific property or transaction.
