Daytona Beach Housing Starts Drop | Market Cooling

Daytona Beach's single-family housing market is cooling after years of rapid growth. New housing starts fell to 532 in 2025, down from 945 in 2023 and 918 in 2024, following a peak of 1,200 in 2022.

Between 2020 and 2022, builders accelerated production as historically low interest rates and migration into the region drove demand for larger homes. Starts climbed from 762 in 2020 to the 2022 peak.

The slowdown reflects completed subdivisions and a natural adjustment after the construction surge. Developers have built out major phases and expanded the city's inventory, reducing pressure for new starts.
