T
he central Florida housing market is shifting in favor of buyers for the first time in three years, but uncertainty about its trajectory remains high. In Daytona, median home prices have slightly decreased and listings are staying on the market longer, according to Rocket data, making it a more buyer-friendly environment.

    New insights from Bank of America's 2025 Homebuyer Insights Report reveal widespread uncertainty among homeowners and prospective buyers about the state of the housing market. A significant majority are unsure whether now is a good time to buy, with:

    * 60% of respondents unable to determine if buying a home is a good idea right now.

    * 75% of prospective buyers expecting home prices and interest rates to fall, leading them to delay purchasing until then.

    Other notable trends include:

    * 30% of Gen Z homeowners in 2025 reported taking on an extra job to pay for their down payment, up from 24% in 2023.

    * 62% of current homeowners and prospective buyers are concerned about the impact of severe weather on homeownership.
