- Closed Sales: March 2026 saw a notable 14.4% increase in closed sales compared to the previous year, totaling 111 homes sold, up from 97 in March 2025. This uptick indicates a healthy demand for homes in the area.
- Cash Sales: More buyers are choosing to pay in cash, with 47 cash transactions in March 2026, reflecting a 17.5% rise from the 40 in March 2025. This is a sign of confidence in the market, as cash buyers tend to be more competitive in securing properties.
- Home Prices: The median sale price for homes rose slightly by 1.2%, from $425,000 in March 2025 to $430,000 in March 2026. Meanwhile, the average sale price increased significantly by 10.1%, from $551,554 to $607,287. This demonstrates the growing value of homes in the area, with luxury properties contributing to the rise in average price.
- Dollar Volume: The total dollar volume of homes sold surged by 26%, reaching $67.4 million in March 2026, up from $53.5 million in March 2025. This jump further reflects the strong activity and higher-priced homes moving through the market.
- Days on Market: Homes are still selling relatively quickly, with the median time to contract taking 67 days (a slight increase from 60 days in 2025). The median time to sale has decreased by 3.8%, now sitting at 101 days, down from 105 days in March 2025. Buyers are moving faster in securing homes compared to the previous year.

Overall, the New Smyrna Beach real estate market remains strong, with steady price growth and an active transaction volume. Buyers continue to find opportunities, but the decrease in inventory and shorter supply will keep the market competitive for the foreseeable future.
