Oceans Luxury Realty

As we move through March 2025, the Volusia County housing market continues to evolve, presenting new opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you're looking to purchase a single-family home or invest in a condominium, understanding the current market conditions can help you make informed decisions. Let's take a closer look at the latest trends and what to expect as we move into April.

Current Housing Market Trends

The Volusia County housing market has been undergoing notable shifts in early 2025. As of March, the median home value stands at approximately $327,064, reflecting a slight 1.6% decrease over the past year. In January, the median sale price was $336,245, marking a 1.8% decline year-over-year. Homes are spending an average of 64 days on the market, a slight increase from 59 days the previous year.

Additionally, inventory levels have surged, with a 50-70% increase in active listings in key areas like Daytona Beach and Deltona. With more homes available and longer listing periods, buyers now have greater leverage in negotiations.

What About Condominiums?

The condominium market in Volusia County has followed a similar trend, with inventory rising by an impressive 84% year-over-year. This increase in available units has resulted in a more competitive market for sellers, leading to an average list price decrease of about 4% compared to the previous year.

In January 2025, the West Volusia region reported 24 condo and townhouse sales, though the exact median days on market remain variable. However, the broader housing market data suggests that condos are also staying on the market longer than in previous years.

Buyer's or Seller's Market?

With increasing inventory levels and longer listing times, Volusia County is shifting into a buyer’s market. Sellers are adjusting prices to attract interest, and nearly 42% of listings in areas like Deltona have experienced price reductions. This means that buyers can take their time, explore more options, and negotiate better deals.

Interest Rates & Future Outlook

Mortgage rates are projected to decline slightly as we move further into 2025, which could encourage more buyers to enter the market. However, sellers should remain strategic, ensuring their properties are competitively priced and well-maintained to stand out in the growing inventory.

Looking Ahead to April 2025

• More Inventory: Expect a continued increase in the number of homes and condos available for sale, giving buyers more options.

• Price Adjustments: Sellers may need to remain flexible on pricing to stay competitive in this shifting market.

• Market Opportunities: Buyers should take advantage of favorable conditions, while sellers should work with experienced realtors to position their properties effectively.
