2009 Condo Sales Ormond By The Sea, Florida

2009 Condo Sales Ormond By The Sea, Florida

While the number of condos sold through the Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service in Ormond By The Sea, Florida (59) was higher than the total numbers in 2006 (43) to 2008 (41) it remains much lower than the average of 95 for the years 2000 to 2004 when the market was more “normal”.

Projecting the 59 sales per year forward would mean we currently have a year and a half of inventory, which is still very high and continues to indicate a buyers market.

A complicating factor could be foreclosures, which have shown no sign yet of slowing. There is a possibility that many more foreclosures will be coming on the market over the coming months since we are unable to close on many short sales.

Fish City Grill closes in Ormond Beach Florida
