Volusia County Real Estate Market Report: October 2026
Volusia County homes sold faster in October 2026 than a year ago, and sellers got noticeably closer to their asking price. Prices held steady, expired listings dropped sharply, and luxury sales picked up. Here’s what the October numbers mean for buyers and sellers across Volusia County.
What Was the Median Home Price in Volusia County in October 2026?
The median sales price in Volusia County was $345,000 in October 2026, up 0.5% from $343,250 in October 2025. Prices are essentially flat, which makes Volusia one of the more affordable options in the greater Orlando area, from inland communities like DeLand and Deltona to the coast.
How Fast Are Homes Selling in Volusia County?
Homes sold in a median of 44 days in October 2026, five days faster than the 49 days it took in October 2025. Single-family homes moved fastest, going under contract in a median of 38 days. Homes in popular areas like DeBary that are priced right from the start are drawing steady interest.
How Many Homes Sold in October 2026?
There were 559 home sales in October 2026, down 18% from 682 in October 2025. Sales slowed, but the market got healthier in another way: expired listings fell to 100 from 159 a year earlier, a 37% drop. More sellers are pricing realistically, and more listings are ending in a sale instead of coming off the market unsold.
Are Sellers Getting Close to Their Asking Price?
Yes, and closer than last year. Homes sold for 95.3% of their original list price in October 2026, up from 94% in October 2025. That 1.3-point gain is one of the biggest improvements in the October numbers. On a $345,000 home, it means selling about $16,200 below the original asking price, compared with about $20,700 at last year’s rate.
How Did Prices Compare by Property Type?
Single-family homes led sales, while condos had the highest median price and took the longest to sell.
- Single-family homes: 422 sales, a $350,000 median price, and 38 median days to sell
- Townhomes: 37 sales, a $283,000 median price, and 51 median days to sell
- Condos: 74 sales, a $400,000 median price, and 69 median days to sell
Volusia is one of the few Central Florida counties where condos sell for more than single-family homes. That’s largely thanks to coastal condos in places like New Smyrna Beach, where ocean views and beach access carry a premium. Condos also took the longest to sell, giving buyers more room to negotiate.
How Many Luxury Homes Sold in Volusia County?
Nineteen homes sold for $1 million or more in October 2026, up from 13 in October 2025. That’s a 46% jump in million-dollar sales, driven largely by demand along the coast and in established golf communities like DeBary Golf & Country Club and Glen Abbey.
How Are Buyers Paying for Homes?
About 32% of October buyers paid cash, with 178 cash sales and 372 financed sales. Distressed sales stayed rare, with just 2 bank-owned sales and 2 short sales out of 559 total. Volusia’s sizable cash share reflects steady demand from retirees and second-home buyers drawn to the area.
What This Means
For sellers, Volusia County is rewarding realistic pricing. With fewer expired listings and homes selling closer to asking, the right price from day one is what gets a home sold. If you’re thinking about listing, start on the sellers page.
For buyers, steady prices and fewer sales mean less competition than in recent years, especially for condos and townhomes. If you buy before January 1, file for your homestead exemption with the Volusia County Property Appraiser by March 1. Free resources for your search are on the buyers page.
