Condo sales were notably strong across the Daytona Beach area during March. Not surprisingly, sales were significantly higher than last March when the world first heard the words COVID-19 and business activities around the state came to a screeching halt.
An analysis of Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service data by Wyse Home Team Realty showed that 236 condo units were sold around the Daytona Beach area in March with a median sales price of $250,000. That’s a nearly 31% increase in condo sales compared to February and 107% increase over March 2020. Sales volume was up by 26% over February and rose 126% from last March.
Meanwhile, MLS reports show the median condo sales price fell $25,000 from February but remained 1.3% higher than the median price in March 2020. This, as inventory of available condos crashed to new lows from the already rock bottom levels in February. In March, there were 549 condo units active at some point during the month. That’s down 16% from 635 units active in February and it’s 46% lower than the 1,025 available condo units in the Daytona Beach MLS during March 2020.
Year to date, condo sales are up 53% and the median condo sales price rose 21% over the first three months of 2020.
“Every time we think the inventory levels cannot fall any lower, we hit a new low,” said Ron Wysocarski, broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange.
