What the table actually means
Space and age are not a trade here. Port Orange gives you the most house at this number, about 1,365 square feet, and the newest, a median build year of 1984. At $275,000 you do not have to pick one.
Where this budget sits matters more than the house. In Port Orange the city median is $365,500, so $275,000 is an entry-level buy and you are competing at the bottom of that market. In South Daytona the median is $275,000, so the same money is a mainstream purchase. That difference shapes how much room you have to negotiate.
The pool number surprises people. 17.0% of sales in this range in Port Orange had a private pool, against 11.8% in South Daytona. If a pool matters, that single line should probably decide where you look.
Before you use these numbers
Medians describe a market, not a house. A specific street, a specific school zone, or a lot backing a preserve can move a price well outside these figures. Use this to pick where to look, then get a real read on the individual home.
