Volusia County Real Estate Listings vs Sales Review for 2008

Port Orange Real Estate Blog. Information and Reports by Lisa Hill, "THE SMART CHOICE!" for all your real estate needs

I know I'm backtracking quite a bit here, but I just realized that I never posted the year-end, 2008 real estate results to this blog. (It happens when you're trying to keep up with several blogs!) So here are those results, which you can also find on my primary blog at www.RealEstateBlogConnect.com....

Being a REALTOR® can be a tough job. Especially when everyone who wants to sell real estate, or buy real estate, wants to hear some good news about the real estate market. Unfortunately, for the last couple of years, the one answer that everyone wants to hear, is not the answer I've been able to give them.

Last year, I posted a blog with a chart that showed the real estate market statistics for 2000-2007. <<>

And now it's time for the 2008 year-end real estate review for Volusia County. The following chart shows the listings vs sales comparison for the greater Daytona Beach area. The only difference between this chart and my previous charts is, this chart does not include the data for New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater. As silly as this may seem, the Daytona Beach Association of REALTORS® and the New Smyrna Beach REALTOR® Association are only about 20 miles apart. It's actually easier for me to work with real estate buyers and sellers who are interested in New Smyrna Beach or Edgewater than it is for me to work with clients who want to buy or sell real estate north of Ormond Beach. But Ormond Beach is part of the Daytona Beach area and New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater are separate. But many real estate brokerages will double post their listings to both the Daytona Beach Area Association of REALTORS® and the New Smyrna Beach REALTOR® Association

All that being said, for now, here is the chart with the real estate data for all of 2008, from the Daytona Beach Multiiple Listing Service (MLS).

And here are the specific numbers for each city...

Port Orange Real Estate: 1st Quarter Listings and Sales Report

Due to the improving market in most Volusia County cities, I wanted to go ahead and get started with the Port Orange real estate statistics. Being that a large portion of my real estate sales are listed and sold in Port Orange, I decided to start there, for my 1st Quarter Listings and Sales Review for 2009. And I've tried a different method of calculating the data this time. The first chart provides greater detail, and a better overview of the Port Orange real estate market.

This report is for single family houses in Port Orange, in order for interested Port Orange real estate buyers and sellers to get a true picture of this market.

The upper chart shows the details of the first quarter of 2009. (A few days short) And if you're a more visual person, I've created a pie chart which you can view at the left.

Compared to last years' statistics, the overall Volusia County real estate market is improving.
