The median sale price in Daytona Beach was $299,124 in August 2026, down 5.2% from a year earlier, according to Redfin. Homes took a median of 80 days to sell, the same as last August. Daytona Beach is the most affordable of the three towns Ryan and Megan track, and buyers hold the stronger hand right now.

Redfin gives Daytona Beach a Compete Score of 24 out of 100, which indicates low competition. Inventory counts for Daytona Beach were not available from a current source, so this report leaves that row out.
Daytona Beach homes sold at 95.0% of list price on average. On a $300,000 home, that is about $15,000 below the final list price. Only 7.5% of homes sold above list, and 43.6% took a price drop. You have time to compare homes and room to negotiate.
The price per square foot rose 5.9% to $208 while the median price fell 5.2%. Those two numbers move in opposite directions because the mix of homes that sold changed. A different share of condos, older homes and larger homes changes the median even when value per square foot holds. Use the price per square foot to compare a home you like against similar closed sales.
Condos pull the lower end of the market down. The metro townhouse and condo median was $178,500 in August, while the metro single-family median was $360,000. Match the numbers to the property type you want. Ryan and Megan are Mortgage Bankers with The Federal Savings Bank, and they review condo financing rules early so you do not fall in love with a building your loan will not cover.
Sales fell 10.8% from last August and the median home needed 80 days to sell. Fewer buyers are closing, so each showing matters. Price the home against the recent closed sales near you, not against a neighbor's asking price.
The share of homes with a price drop is 43.6%. Starting high and cutting later has become the normal pattern, and it costs you days. A fresh listing gets the most attention in its first two weeks. Use that window.
Condition decides outcomes here. Homes with newer roofs, working air conditioning and clean inspection reports hold their price per square foot. Sellers of older homes should expect the buyer's insurer to ask about the roof and the electrical panel. Know the answers before you list. Ryan and Megan provide a home value review that uses recent closed sales and shows a realistic net after costs.
The citywide median of $299,124 blends several different areas. Redfin names these Daytona Beach areas in its data.
Beachside condos and oceanfront property price on a different scale than mainland homes. Mainland entry-level homes tend to price near or below the citywide median, and newer-construction communities tend to price above it. For a range on a specific street, text Ryan and Megan and review the last three closed sales nearby.
Daytona Beach sits on the Halifax River, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic coast, so flood zones vary block by block. Check the FEMA flood map for each address. Zones that begin with A or V are Special Flood Hazard Areas, where a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance. Homeowners policies exclude flood damage, so flood coverage is a separate policy, and an elevation certificate often helps with the quote.
Wind insurance deserves early attention. Insurers focus on roof age and shape, window protection and the home's age. Order a wind mitigation inspection to document features that reduce premiums. Older homes often need a four-point inspection of the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC before an insurer will write coverage. Get quotes during your inspection period.
Condos are a large part of Daytona Beach, and many buildings are older. Florida law now requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many buildings of three stories or more, and associations must fund reserves for structural items. Ask for the reserve study, the current budget, pending special assessments and the rental rules, including minimum lease terms and approval steps. Lenders review condo associations, and buildings with unresolved structural or financial concerns tend to be harder to finance. Plan for your own HO-6 policy.
Oceanfront and beachside property also falls under Florida coastal construction rules, which affect renovation and rebuild plans. Ask your inspector and the city permit office about any planned work.
No one is able to promise where prices go. Today's signals favor buyers. Sales are down 10.8%, days on market are long and 43.6% of homes took price drops. Expect negotiation to continue through the fall.
Florida Realtors reported that statewide prices are largely holding because inventory is tight, even as sales slow, and that 2026 mortgage rates are above last year's. The metro single-family median rose 1.3% in August, so Daytona Beach's lower median reflects its mix of homes more than a market-wide drop. Winter brings seasonal visitors and some buyers to the coast, which tends to lift showing activity, though it does not guarantee higher prices. Watch days on market, the share of price drops and condo pricing in the next report.
Redfin reports a median sale price of $299,124 for August 2026, down 5.2% from August 2025. The median price per square foot was $208, up 5.9%.
The median home spent 80 days on the market in August 2026, the same as a year earlier. Homes priced to recent sales tend to move faster than the median.
Conditions lean toward buyers. Redfin shows low competition with a score of 24 out of 100. Homes sold at 95.0% of list price on average, and 43.6% had a price drop.
The two measures track different things. The median price reflects which homes sold that month, including condos and older homes. Price per square foot adjusts for size, so it moved up 5.9% while the median fell 5.2%.
Ask for the association budget, the latest reserve study, any special assessments, rental rules and inspection findings. Confirm the building meets lender requirements, and price your own HO-6 and any flood policy before you commit.
