Daytona Beach, FL – June was a banner month for home sales in the Daytona Beach area.
The latest numbers from the Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service shows 504 single-family homes sold last month for a median sales price of $159,000.
Even though the median sales price is $9,000 under what was posted for May 2015, the 504 homes sold during June 2015 is well over the 399 sold last May. It’s also the highest monthly home sales number posted so far this year.
Ron Wysocarski – leader of the Wyse Home & Condo Team at Keller-Williams Realty in Port Orange – says his personal business is as busy as it’s been in some time and the overall numbers show it’s not just his business.
“[Daytona Beach area] sales climbed by more than 26% from last month and were up by more than 9% year-over-year,” Wysocarski added. “Our local real estate market continues to show signs of good health.”
Ormond Beach was a particularly busy area in June, with 142 homes sold for a median sales price of $190,000. Both those numbers are the highest for all cities in the Daytona Beach area.
Wysocarski thinks a lot of the demand for Ormond homes has to do with families looking to either move in or out of certain school districts, combined with the fact that summer in general is usually the busiest time of the year for home sales.
Port Orange had 112 home sales in June for a median sales price of $179,000, while Daytona Beach had 77 home sales for a $137,500 median sales price.
