Edgewater is a rising market right now, and the numbers say buyers have room to negotiate. Look at it ZIP code by ZIP code, not as one city average.
The Bottom Line on Edgewater
Edgewater is in southeast Volusia County, just south of New Smyrna Beach, stretching from the Indian River west past I-95. It began as a riverfront fishing and citrus town and grew into a commuter and retirement city, and in recent years its western edge along SR 442 has been one of the busiest areas of new housing in the county. Its commercial base runs along US 1, Ridgewood Avenue and the SR 442 interchange, with boat builders and marine businesses along the river.
Edgewater is a rising housing market where sellers are cutting prices to meet buyers, and its commercial property trades at a discount to the rest of Volusia County, with almost no distress.
- Homes: median list prices of $336,225 to $349,675, up 9.7% in 32132, up 0.7% in 32141 from a year ago; Volusia County is down 3.4%.
- Supply: 52 active listings in 32132 (up 18.2%); 114 active listings in 32141 (down 3.8%); 59 to 68 days on market.
- Commercial: median $135 to $160 per square foot, versus $182 countywide.
- Distress: no commercial distress transfers or bank-held parcels on the 2026 tax roll.

Commercial Real Estate
| 2026 tax roll | 32132 | 32141 | Volusia County |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial & industrial parcels | 538 | 355 | 15,492 |

| Median sale $/SF | $160 | $135 | $182 |
| Distress transfers / bank-held parcels | 0 / 0 | 0 / 0 | 16 / 10 |
Edgewater’s commercial property is mostly small and service-oriented: strip retail and restaurants along US 1, contractor and light industrial buildings, and the marine and boat-building shops that the area is known for. Prices sit below the county average, and the new subdivisions west of I-95 are pulling retail and medical demand toward SR 442.
Edgewater has about 4.1 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 32 arm's-length sales at a median $135 to $160 per square foot, below the county's $182, helped by newer buildings. There were no distress transfers or bank-held parcels on the roll.
Edgewater is growing from the west. The rooftops going up along SR 442 will need groceries, doctors and services, and the land near the interchange is where that demand lands first.
