Bethune Volusia Beach

It's a coastal barrier-island community where the beach, surf, and intracoastal frontage set the tone for daily life. Families are zoned for Coronado Beach-area schools including New Smyrna Beach High School, and much of the housing sits on or near the water. It suits buyers who want beachside living without leaving New Smyrna's established neighborhoods behind.

Yes — this is a premium beachside market, with a median list price of $1,350,500 and 21 of the 32 active listings priced at $1 million or more. Homes run about $690 per square foot, and prices range from $350,000 up to nearly $6 million. There's meaningful spread, so buyers on different budgets can still find a foothold.

Active listings carry a median list price of $1,350,500, but over the last 12 months 29 homes actually sold at a median of $658,000. That gap reflects a market with a wide price range and a high-end luxury tier pulling the list-price median up. You can browse current inventory on the live map to see where your budget lands.

It's a patient market that favors prepared buyers. Homes are taking a median of 132.5 days to sell and sellers are getting about 93% of their asking price, which means there's room to negotiate. With 32 active listings against 29 sales in the past year, buyers have real choice.

Expect a median HOA around $936 per month, which reflects the maintained, often waterfront nature of the properties here. Median annual property tax runs about $11,178, in line with the area's higher home values. For rentals, the median is roughly $6,000 per month.
