Frequently Asked Questions
How fast do homes sell in DeLand, FL right now?
This listing went under contract in 3 days — which is consistent with what I’m seeing across DeLand in 2026. Well-priced, move-in ready homes in the $200,000–$300,000 range are generating immediate interest, often with multiple showings in the first 48 hours. Homes that are priced competitively and presented professionally are spending very little time on the market. If you’re a buyer, you need to be pre-approved and ready to move quickly. If you’re a seller, accurate pricing from day one is everything.
What did this home sell for compared to asking price?
102 Lake Charles Road sold at exactly 100% of the list price — $250,000. The buyers paid cash with zero seller concessions. A 100% SP/LP ratio in a cash transaction is a strong signal that the property was priced accurately from the start. Overpriced homes in this market still sit; correctly priced homes move in days.
How much have DeLand home values increased since 2019?
This specific property sold for $165,500 in March 2019 and closed at $250,000 in April 2026 — a gain of $84,500 or roughly 51% appreciation over 7 years. That tracks with broader Volusia County market trends, which have seen consistent appreciation driven by population growth, remote work migration from South Florida and the Northeast, and strong demand for affordable coastal-adjacent communities. DeLand in particular has benefited from its proximity to both I-4 and the beach corridors.
Is now a good time to sell a home in DeLand?
Based on what I’m seeing in active transactions, yes. Inventory remains below historical norms, cash buyers are active in the sub-$300,000 range, and demand from out-of-state buyers relocating to Volusia County continues to be strong. The window won’t stay open forever — but right now, sellers with well-maintained homes in good locations have meaningful leverage.
