Volusia & Flagler County Real Estate News – July 2026

If you're thinking about buying or selling real estate in Volusia County or Flagler County, staying informed about local development and community news can help you better understand the area's growth. This week's highlights include the return of the Daytona Boat Show, approval of a new rehabilitation hospital in Palm Coast, a national restaurant chain planning to open in Daytona Beach, and a featured price reduction on one of my Ormond-by-the-Sea listings.


Daytona Boat Show Returns to the Ocean Center

The Daytona Boat Show returns to the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach from September 18–20, bringing together 13 Central Florida boat dealers representing more than 70 manufacturers under one roof.

Visitors can browse fishing boats, pontoons, cruisers, family watercraft, and many of the latest marine accessories while speaking directly with local dealers. Whether you're already a boating enthusiast or simply enjoy Florida's coastal lifestyle, the event is one of the area's most anticipated boating showcases.


New $31 Million Rehabilitation Hospital Coming to Palm Coast

Palm Coast continues to grow with the approval of a new $31 million ClearSky Health rehabilitation hospital.

The Palm Coast City Council approved the sale of 8.5 acres at the former Whispering Pines redevelopment site along State Road 100. The planned 36-bed facility is expected to create more than 100 full-time jobs while expanding specialized healthcare services throughout Flagler County.

The hospital will provide rehabilitation for patients recovering from strokes, heart attacks, orthopedic injuries, brain and spinal cord injuries, pulmonary illnesses, and cancer, making it another significant investment in the area's future.


National Restaurant Chain PEI WEI Asian Kitchen Coming to Daytona Beach

Another nationally recognized restaurant is planning to expand into Daytona Beach.

PEI WEI Asian Kitchen is preparing to make its Daytona Beach debut with a menu featuring customer favorites including Orange Chicken, Mongolian Steak, Kung Pao Chicken, rice bowls, noodles, and other Asian-inspired dishes.

The fast-casual restaurant offers Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese-inspired cuisine. Although the company has confirmed plans to enter the Daytona Beach market, it has not yet announced an exact location, opening date, or construction timeline.

The addition reflects the continued residential and commercial growth taking place throughout Volusia County.
