A 20-story building, centrally located on this condo row in Daytona Beach Shores, and it is different from all other buildings in the complex. In 1980, when it was completed, it was, obviously, the epitome of luxury. 114 units total, 6 units per floor and 3 elevators. Each elevator opens to only two units, it had more privacy than any other building an the Oceans. Besides privacy, the condo units in Oceans Four are bigger than in other Oceans built before Oceans Four.

daytona condos: Saturday on the Beach… Daytona Beach - 05/27/12 06:46 AM
This could be a fun summer. Maybe even too much fun in Florida. It is still May, officially not even the hurricane season yet, and we are bracing for the second named storm, Beryl. On Saturday the Ocean was a bit choppy, but the weather was fine. This is a long Memorial Day weekend and hotels are packed. Our office is in the resort, and there was not a single available parking spot. Luckily for me, I combined exercise and pleasure and went on foot… Water is unusually warm tis year. Yesterday it was 82 F, and I do not remember

daytona condos: No, They Are Not You… - 05/25/12 11:27 PM
My clients bought a condo unit in Bella Vista in Daytona Beach Shores for a very good price. They still have money and are thinking of investing, but are very particular about the buildings. It has to be a nice one, and nice one by their standards. When in 2 months the listing agent called me about the short sale he had there and said that the bank agreed to a very significantly reduced priced (by $100K), I sent my clients an e-mail suggesting that they buy this unit, and then resell for a nice profit. They ask questions. They need

daytona condos: I Drive Less Than 100 Miles A Week - 05/06/12 09:41 AM
Guilty as charged. Yes, on average I drive less than 100 miles a week. I read Michael Thornton’s post (not so) Speechless Sundae ~ 5.6.12... and then I read comments and I thought that this was not my case. Michael wrote about his new 4-wheel toy – Chevy Volt, and mentioned that he drove 500 miles in one week. The comments are filled with more surprise (and envy) to this fact rather than phenomenal Chevy Volt’s fuel economy. Maybe it is a great car, but it is not for me, a condo dweller. I wouldn’t be able to charge it in

daytona condos: Muddy Crystal Ball - 05/04/12 10:51 PM
A local investor owns several units in Daytona Beach Shores. We know that he loves Salida Del Sol condo building, has a unit there. Nice building, completed in 2006. Good location south of Dunlawton Ave on A1A. 43 three-bedroom units. Good size, breathtaking views. We called him about a unit there in $200s. He laughed at us saying that there was another unit, that went to foreclosure, and the Lender got it back. He said he would wait till it pops back as REO and would buy it for $190K. We doubt that it will be at $190K, as the

daytona condos: 2 bdr/2 baths units in Oceans Grand in Daytona Beach Shores. April 30, 2012 - 04/29/12 10:30 PM
I wrote about Oceans Grand in Daytona Beach Shores about a month ago. At that time the lowest price for a 2 bedr/2 baths condo with den was $199,000 and I thought that this was probably the last time we saw anything in Oceans Grand for less than $200K. It was snatched right away, but there is another $199,990 there, and after a unit for $260K went under contract in just couple of days, and we were late even to show it, it is surprising to say the least. It is interesting to see the changes in just one month. I made

daytona condos: Do You Like This View? - 04/22/12 11:57 PM
One of the nicest condos in Daytona Beach Shores is Bella Vista. I was showing a 3-bedroom unit there a couple of days ago, and could not resist the temptation to take the photo from the balcony. Imagine living in this building, and getting in the morning the rising sun, and watch the ocean change as the sun goes up and then down. Never boring. Always beautiful. Call me if this view is what you would like to see from your balcony. Search condos in Daytona Beach Shores

daytona condos: Royal Atlantic in Daytona Beach Shores - 04/21/12 10:18 PM
To tell you the truth, even such relatively small niche as condos, and even on such geographically small place as a narrow barrier island in Daytona, and even only in Daytona Beach Shores, a small town south of Daytona Beach, is still a big place for me. I know some condos, and I do not know some at all. There are still condos in the area, where I have never been. Royal Atlantic Condominium in Daytona beach Shores is one of those condos. 11-stiry 40-unit direct oceanfront condominium in Daytona Beach Shores was built in 1988. 34 units per floor, two of them

daytona condos: Oceans Grand. Daytona Beach Shores. Market Snapshot - 04/01/12 11:20 PM
Built in 2006 in Daytona Beach Shores, Oceans Grand is the last high-rise building in the Oceans complex. The city is now limiting the height to 120’, and, of course, they are proud with this far from wise decision. But who said that government is supposed to be wise? There are 189 units in 21-story Oceans Grand (no 13th floor). It is a triangular building with rounded corners. Each corner is a three-bedroom unit. 3rd floor and up has 7 two-bedroom / 2 baths units plus den, and 3 corner Three Bedroom/three baths units. First and second floor has only 3 units each. Ground

daytona condos: Condo Living or How To Save A Penny and Lose a Shirt... and Pants - 03/26/12 05:46 PM
It used to be that if condo owners in Florida did not have their own insurance policy, the association would buy it and them pass the cost to the condo owner. The law was changed in 2010, and now the Association can’t force the condo owner to have insurance of the inside of the condo. The way the law is written, it implicitly requires the insurance, but nowhere in SB 1196 it says that the owner has to have individual insurance policy. Not that the owners shouldn’t, it is always a good idea to have, but it isn’t mandatory. Why?

daytona condos: Good Family Man - 03/25/12 01:10 PM
It happens time from time, especially with condo-hotels, when a Seller would walk in my office and ask me to bring a buyer for his unit. - You, guys, are in this building, and there is a sign outside, so I thought you are the ones who can bring a buyer for my unit. - Do you want us to list your unit? - No, I listed it with my niece, she has a license and needs practice, but what’s the difference? You bring the buyer and you will get the commission anyway. Right? Wrong. I do not have buyers

daytona condos: A Chihuahua called Doberman Pinscher... or The Beauty of Condo Living - 03/24/12 11:45 AM
Time from time I am visiting condominium buildings In Daytona Beach Shores, talking to the managers, getting updates so that I know my stuff. One of the standard questions is about pet policy. Some condos have «No pets» policy even when you have a cat, or a bird, which do not require going out. They say birds can be noisy. Hmm, what about cats? Haven't seen a barking or screeching cat yet.... I guess if one hears the cat screaming, they better call the animal police, as it should be the case of abuse... But a policy is a policy. Some are more

daytona condos: Daytona Beach Shores. March 2012 - 03/18/12 03:17 PM
Daytona Beach Shores. March 2012 Daytona is getting ready for summer. Bikers are rolling out, two weeks of fun, noise and roar of thousands of Harley is practically over, and this starts our real estate hot and passionate season. People think that Bikeweek is a big deal in Real Estate, but it is not. It is the opposite. It is dead as it can be. And same thing during the races. People come with agenda. It is bikes, beer and fun, and it is not real estate. But with the roar of Harley disappearing in the distance, the real estate boom

daytona condos: Pendleton Club Condominium. Daytona Beach. March 2012 - 03/04/12 09:31 AM
To my surprise, I noticed that nobody have posted about The Pendleton Condominium in Daytona Beach yet. And it deserves mentioning, so, I am correcting it here... The Pendleton Condominium (in condo docs - Pendleton Club) is one of the oldest condo buildings in Daytona Beach. It was built in 1963. Somebody may cringe and want to click away, but don't rush. This is one of the best built condo buildings in the whole Volusia county. It is sturdy enough to handle the strongest Cat 5 Hurricane (which, luckily, we never had). It was built using poured in place concrete method. And it is
