Daytona Beach Real Estate Market Trend Analysis

Looking at the chart, we see that sales have rebounded but average prices have dropped steadily over the last year. March's drop was not as high, so we see a leveling of the line. The average sales price in March was  was $159,922. This was primarily because 75.7% of all sales were under $200,000 and 33.3% were under $100,000. This is pushing average and median sales prices down. The median price in March to was up to $133,500 from $127,500 in February. The strength of the market is in the lower prices and has been since the beginning of 2008.

61 condos were sold in February, or 21.2% of the 288 properties sold in the Daytona Beach MLS. This is consistent with the general averages for condo sales. About 1 condo sells for every 4 houses sold.

2009 Sales are up 24.3% over the first three months of 2008 which has reversed the declining trend in the 4th quarter of last year. Our inquires are up for the past four months as more people begin to believe that the bottom of prices are near.

Affordability will is also coming into play. The National Association of Realtors states that prices are about at 2003 levels, but affordability is way up. We believe there is pent up demand that will be released at some point. Predicting that point - Ah, that's the trick.
