It's time for me to continue with my first quarter real estate reports for each city in East Volusia County. For the 1st Quarter of 2009 we're comparing New Listings, Total Number of Listings and the Number of Sales for each city. And for some cities I've separated the condo listings and sales from the houses or in one particular city (Daytona Beach Shores) we looked at the totals for each category, then just pulled the condos into a seperate category.

So far we've covered Port Orange, South Daytona, Daytona Beach and Daytona Beach Shores. In this post we're going to take a quick look at Wilbur-by-the-Sea.

Why are we only taking a quick look at Wilbur-by-the-Sea? For starters because Wilbur is a very small town. And more importantly because there were no sales at all in Wilbur, for the first quarter of 2009. That's right. Zip; Zero; Zilch on the sales. No houses. No duplexes. No condos.

I'm going to let the chart speak for itself, then we can move along to the Ponce Inlet report, which holds much more real estate data.

As you can see, the vast majority of the real estate for sale in Wilbur-by-the-Sea is in the form of condos. And none of them sold during the first quarter of 2009. The most likely reason for there being no sales is because of the layout of the cities. Wilbur-by-the-Sea is sandwiched in between Daytona Beach Shores and Ponce Inlet. Both Daytona Beach Shores and Ponce Inlet draw higher real estate values due to the newer ages of the houses and condos and the shopping conveniences, while Wilbur is a quaint, smaller town, and the houses and condos in Wilbur are older than those in Ponce Inlet and Daytona Beach Shores. And the simple reason for this is because Wilbur-by-the-Sea was unincorporated until just a few years ago. Can anyone read between the lines here? You can find excellent real estate values in Wilbur-by-the-Sea, while still enjoying the restaurants and shopping all around you!

So let's move along to the Ponce Inlet 1st Quarter Real Estate Report for 2009.
