The broader Ormond Beach market continues to move toward balance. Compared to the previous update, inventory remains elevated, with 5.2 months of supply and active listings up year over year. Buyers are still active, as shown by increases in pending sales and closed sales, but they're taking considerably longer to make decisions.
The clearest shift is in timing. Median time to contract increased to 73 days, while median time to sale reached 105 days. At the same time, median sale prices remain relatively stable, even as average sale prices softened slightly. This suggests buyers are still willing to pay for well-positioned homes, but they're becoming more selective and less willing to stretch on pricing.
Buyers are still in the market, but they have more options and more patience. Homes that are priced correctly and show well continue to sell, while sellers who rely on last year's market conditions may face longer marketing times and increased negotiation. In today's market, preparation and pricing strategy matter more than ever.
Halifax Plantation Update | Mar–May 2026
The overall story in Halifax Plantation remains largely unchanged from the previous update. Buyers are still active, but they're becoming increasingly selective as inventory grows and competition increases.
Unattached homes continued to outperform attached properties in both pricing and demand. While the average sale price for unattached homes slightly exceeded the average list price, that result was heavily influenced by one April sale that closed above asking. Most other homes sold at or below their list price, reinforcing that buyers remain focused on value.
The market is still moving, but pricing power has limits. Sellers should view above-asking sales as the exception, not the expectation. Accurate pricing and strong presentation remain the keys to attracting serious buyers and achieving the best possible outcome.
