The Daytona Beach housing market in 2026 is moving slowly for sellers. In Daytona Beach, Florida, homes of all types that sold in the three months ending October 2026 went pending in a median of 84 days, according to Redfin's city page. That is nine days longer than a year earlier (Redfin, October 2026). Over the same stretch, 40.8% of listings had a price drop, and the median sale price slipped 2.0% to $313,532.
This guide sets Redfin's October figures and Zillow's September values in separate tables for an owner weighing when and how to sell. It does not forecast prices. For every route to a sale in the city, see our page on selling a house fast in Daytona Beach.
Daytona Beach Housing Market 2026: The October Numbers
In the three months ending October 2026, Daytona Beach houses sold for slightly less, took longer to go pending, and changed hands less often than a year earlier. They did sell closer to their list prices. Every row below comes from Redfin's city page, read on November 11, 2026.
| Redfin measure (City of Daytona Beach, all home types) | October 2026 | Change from a year earlier |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $313,532 | Down 2.0% |
| Homes sold (October 2026 only) | 345 | Down 7.0% (from 371) |
| Median days on market | 84 | Up 9 days (from 75) |
| Sale-to-list price | 96.3% | Up 1.4 points |
| Sold above list price | 8.3% | Up 3.7 points |
| Listings with a price drop | 40.8% | Down 0.88 point |
| Redfin Compete Score | 25 out of 100 | Labeled "Not Very Competitive" |
Redfin's figures cover all home types, including condos and townhouses, over a rolling three-month window that ends in October. Each change compares that window with the same one in 2025. The Zillow values later in this guide measure something else, so they sit in their own tables.
Are Daytona Beach Home Prices Falling?
Slightly, on both main measures. Redfin's median sale price fell 2.0% to $313,532 for the three months ending October 2026, and Zillow's typical city value fell 1.6% to $251,316 in September 2026. Both are past changes, not a forecast.
Why the two figures sit about $62,000 apart
Redfin's median is the middle price of the Daytona Beach houses that actually closed in the window. It moves with the mix of sales, so a run of higher-priced closings can lift it for a quarter.
The Zillow Home Value Index is a modeled value for the middle tier of the city's housing, sold or not. Zillow smooths it and adjusts it for the season, so it changes in small steps. For the City of Daytona Beach it read $251,316 in September 2026, against $255,458 a year earlier.
How the city compares with the country
Redfin's page says the Daytona Beach median sale price is 24% lower than the national average. Neither source gives the value of a single house. Size, condition, flood zone, and the street itself all shape what one particular house can bring.
How Long Does It Take to Sell a House in Daytona Beach?
A Daytona Beach house that sold in the three months ending October 2026 went pending in a median of 84 days, up from 75 days a year earlier (Redfin, October 2026). The closing itself comes after that count stops.
The fast group and the typical house
Redfin's page says the houses it calls hot can go pending in around 33 days and sell for around list price. The typical house goes pending in around 84 days and sells for about 4% below list price. Redfin does not publish what places a house in the faster group.
Closing time comes on top
Redfin's day count ends when a house goes pending. A buyer using a mortgage then usually waits on loan approval and an appraisal before the closing. Cash transactions usually do not require bank financing or appraisals, so a cash closing can often be scheduled sooner.
What a longer wait can cost
Every extra month on the market adds another month of mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, and upkeep. For a vacant or inherited house, those bills keep coming while nobody lives there. Some owners weigh that monthly cost against the price a longer listing might bring.
What Does a Price Drop on 40.8% of Listings Mean?
It means about two in five Daytona Beach listings cut their asking price, a share that edged down 0.88 point from a year earlier (Redfin, October 2026). The houses that did sell closed at 96.3% of list price on Redfin's sale-to-list measure.
Three Redfin figures from the same window show how list prices held up:
- 8.3% of houses sold above list price, up 3.7 points from a year earlier.
- The average house sold for about 4% below its list price.
- 40.8% of listings had at least one price drop.
The first price does the most work
A new listing tends to draw the most attention in its first weeks. A price set well above recent nearby sales can use up that window and lead to a cut later. Recent sales on nearby streets are a closer guide than any city median.
The Volusia County Property Appraiser offers a public sales search on its website. A local agent's comparable-sales report covers the same ground in more detail.
When a listing has already sat
A house that has been through one or two price cuts is not unusual in this market. Our guide to a house that won't sell covers the common reasons and the options that follow.
Daytona Beach Home Values by ZIP Code
Zillow's September 2026 values for the four ZIP codes it files under Daytona Beach ran from $180,269 in 32114 to $447,486 in 32124 (Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026). Only 32118 rose from a year earlier.
| Zillow Home Value Index (ZIP figure) | September 2026 | September 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZIP 32114 | $180,269 | $185,306 | Down 2.7% |
| ZIP 32117 | $213,116 | $214,792 | Down 0.8% |

| ZIP 32124 | $447,486 | $448,329 | Down 0.2% |
| City of Daytona Beach (city figure) | $251,316 | $255,458 | Down 1.6% |
These are ZIP figures, not neighborhood figures. ZIP lines do not follow neighborhood lines, so it can help to confirm a house's ZIP from its address before reading the table.
Nearby cities in the same Zillow file
Redfin's migration data shows that 72% of Daytona Beach homebuyers searching from April to June 2026 looked to stay within the metro area. The table below lists four nearby cities from the same Zillow file and month. Each one is a separate city, and none of its figures describe Daytona Beach.
| Nearby city (separate from Daytona Beach) | Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026 | Change from September 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Ormond Beach | $364,484 | Down 0.7% |
| Port Orange | $339,343 | Down 1.7% |
| South Daytona | $247,813 | Up 2.3% |

What Do Buyers Ask About Flood Zones and Taxes?
Two public offices answer the questions that shape a buyer's monthly cost here. The City of Daytona Beach confirms a house's flood zone for free, and the Volusia County Property Appraiser explains how tax caps reset after a sale.
Flood zone letters and elevation certificates
The City's flood protection page describes Daytona Beach as a coastal community subject to storm surge flooding from the Atlantic and Halifax Rivers. The flood maps in use took effect on September 29, 2017. FEMA first drew them in 1973.
Owners can ask the City's Utilities Engineering Division for a letter certifying a house's flood zone, at no charge. The City can also send an elevation certificate for structures built in a Special Flood Hazard Area after 1986, if one is on file. The same page records a May 2009 flood that reached 790 structures after the Nova Canal overtopped its banks.
For a house with storm history, our guide to selling a storm-damaged Daytona Beach house covers the City's repair rules.
What a sale does to the tax cap
A Florida homestead's capped assessment lasts only as long as the ownership does. The Property Appraiser's FAQ puts it this way:
"The SOH benefit stays on a homestead property, providing there are no ownership changes or property improvements."
Volusia Property Appraiser, Volusia County FAQ page
The same FAQ says a change in ownership resets the capped value to full market value. For a non-homestead house, the annual cap (10%, falling to 5% from the 2027 tax year under Amendment 3, per the FAQ) is removed at the sale, and the new owner starts a new base year. A buyer's tax estimate can therefore look quite different from the seller's current bill.
Homestead sellers who buy again in Florida may carry part of the benefit with them. The Property Appraiser says owners can transfer up to $500,000 of Save Our Homes benefit to a new homestead within three years, using Form DR-501T.
Is a Listing or a Cash Sale the Better Fit Right Now?
A listing can suit a Daytona Beach house in good shape when the owner can wait through an 84-day median and possible price cuts. A direct cash sale can suit an owner who wants a set closing date or a sale without repairs.
Here is how the two paths line up against the figures above:
- Listing with an agent: reaches buyers using mortgages, who may pay more for a house that shows well. The typical house took 84 days to go pending, and 40.8% of listings had a price drop. Commissions, repairs, and showings usually come with it.
- Direct cash sale: no bank financing or appraisal, no showings, and the house is sold as-is. The price reflects the house's condition, and the closing date can be set around the seller's plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
How competitive is the Daytona Beach market for sellers right now?
Redfin gave Daytona Beach a Compete Score of 25 out of 100 in October 2026, a level its page labels "Not Very Competitive." Houses sold at 96.3% of list price on Redfin's sale-to-list measure, and 8.3% sold above list. These are city-wide figures, so one house can do better or worse depending on its price and condition.
Do Daytona Beach houses still sell above the asking price?
Some do, but not many. Redfin reports that 8.3% of Daytona Beach houses sold above list price in the three months ending October 2026, up 3.7 points from a year earlier. Over the same period, Redfin says the average house sold for about 4% below its list price.
Why do Redfin and Zillow show different prices for Daytona Beach?
They measure different things. Redfin's $313,532 is the median price of Daytona Beach houses that sold in the three months ending October 2026. Zillow's $251,316 is a smoothed, modeled value for the middle tier of the city's housing in September 2026. Each figure should be read on its own, with its source and month, and the two should never be averaged.
Which Daytona Beach ZIP code has the highest typical value?
ZIP 32124 had the highest Zillow Home Value Index of the four Daytona Beach ZIP codes in September 2026, at $447,486. ZIP 32114 had the lowest, at $180,269, and 32118 was the only one of the four that rose from a year earlier. These are ZIP figures, and ZIP lines do not follow neighborhood lines.
Will the buyer of my Daytona Beach house pay the same property taxes I do?
Often not. The Volusia County Property Appraiser explains that a change in ownership resets a homestead's capped value to full market value. On a non-homestead sale, the annual cap is removed and the new owner starts a new base year. A buyer's bill can differ a great deal from the seller's, which is a normal part of any Florida sale.
Can I take my Save Our Homes savings to my next Florida house?
Often, yes. The Volusia County Property Appraiser says homestead owners can transfer up to $500,000 of their Save Our Homes benefit to a new Florida homestead within three years of giving up the old one. The transfer is requested on Form DR-501T, filed with the new homestead application by March 1 of the following year.
How do I find out a Daytona Beach house's flood zone?
The City of Daytona Beach offers a flood zone determination letter at no charge to property owners, usually with just the street address. The City can also provide a copy of an elevation certificate for structures built in a Special Flood Hazard Area after 1986, if one is on file. The flood maps in use took effect on September 29, 2017.
