An analysis of Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data by Wyse Home Team Realty showed condo sales were down in September, compared to condo sales a year ago. There were 120 condo units sold around the Daytona Beach area in September. That’s 7 percent lower than the number of units sold in September 2018. Sales volume was also down in both monthly and annual comparisons.
