Why Central Florida (Especially Volusia & Deltona) Is Heating Up for Out‑of‑State Buyers

by Antonella & Rafael Santos

1. 🌴 Sunshine & Lifestyle: Florida Living at Its Best

Central Florida offers the quintessential Sunshine State experience—year‑round mild winters, green parks, nearby beaches (Daytona Beach – Volusia County), and abundant outdoor recreation. From boating on Lake Monroe near Deltona to exploring DeLand’s charming downtown, residents enjoy a vibrant mix of lifestyle options.


2. Strategic Location: Central Florida, Volusia & Deltona

  • Proximity to Orlando: Just an hour from Orlando’s job centers and top attractions, yet far enough for affordability.

  • Volusia County perks: Coastal access, highly rated schools (Port Orange, DeLand, Deltona), and flourishing communities.

  • Deltona appeal: Ideal for families—spacious lots, parks, friendly neighborhoods, and lower prices compared to metro Orlando.


3. Affordability & Value: Cheaper Than Coastal Florida

Out‑of‑state buyers are attracted to significantly lower prices in Volusia and Deltona compared to Miami or Tampa metro areas. Properties boast:

  • Larger yards for families

  • New construction without premium metro costs

  • Better house-for-dollar value ideal for investment and appreciation


4. Growing Market: Demand on the Rise

Central Florida, Volusia County, and Deltona have seen steady population growth. Many out‑of‑state buyers—especially retirees and remote workers—are migrating here for:

  • Job flexibility

  • Quality of life

  • Lower cost of living

Builders are responding with new master-planned communities, boosting inventory and appeal.


5. Tax Perks: Florida’s Economic Advantages

Florida imposes no state income tax—a major pull for buyers from high‑tax states. Additional financial benefits include:

  • Relatively low property taxes

  • No inheritance or estate tax

  • Strong equity growth due to demand-driven market


6. Lifestyle Enrichment: Culture, Recreation & Community

  • Parks & Green Spaces: Deltona’s Riverfront Park, Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area

  • Outdoor sports: Golf courses, fishing lakes, trails like East Central Regional Rail Trail

  • Family attractions: Daytona International Speedway, museums, festivals

  • Education: Volusia County Schools rated well; private and charter options abound


7. Investment & Income Potential

Out‑of‑state investors profit from:

  • Affordable entry-point prices

  • Steady rental demand from tourists, snowbirds, remote workers
