daytona oceanfront condos: Morning on the Beach in Daytona Beach Shores - 05/12/13 07:46 PM
I usually take my long walks on the beach in the evening, when the sun is low, and UV exposure is at a minimum. But today I went to the beach at 9 in the morning, as in the evening we are eating out with the family celebrating Mother’s Day.
The park in Daytona Beach Shores where I go was still not packed, and I had no problem parking the car.
The weather is what you can dream of: low 80s, slight ocean breeze, light clouds covering the sun to give rest to our skin…

As I was making my … (8 comments)

daytona oceanfront condos: Would You Sell for Yesterday's Price? - 03/31/13 10:41 AM
The biggest “flaw” of the Real Estate market is that time and price are tighter than a great marriage. We want to buy today at yesterday’s price and we want to sell today at tomorrow’s price (or at any other time when the price was great). And we are never happy with today.
This is why in the slowest market of 2011 buyers were lookers. No matter how ridiculously low the prices were, no matter how much sense it was making to buy for about half per sq. ft. of luxury condos than what it cost developers to build, there was … (14 comments)

daytona oceanfront condos: Southpoint Condominium in Ponce Inlet - 10/12/12 06:23 AM
I write mostly about Daytona Beach Shores, where I live. However, there are quite a few condos in the town next to Daytona Beach Shores going south.
It is Ponce Inlet, and because both Atlantic Ave. and Peninsula Drive end at the entrance to the Lighthouse Park and do not go south, this is the quietest place in theh the whole Daytona Beach area, with not a single hotel/motel and only a few businesses like marinas and waterfront resaurants on the Intracoastal.
Trully a quiet residential area, and the best beaches in the area.

daytona oceanfront condos: Daytona Beach Shores. Summer And The Beach. - 08/20/12 07:08 AM
It is August, the hottest month in Daytona. Not that July is any cooler, and not that coming September is going to be any cooler, at least until the 30th of September… And no, I am not complaining. Looks like the majority of the country has or had much hotter time…  
Surprisingly, we experience what the lifeguard called “upwelling” and the water on Sunday was only 76F, cooler than what we had in May. By tis time we should be firmly in the 80s, but it is the Ocean and it is always full of surprises.

daytona oceanfront condos: Daytona Beach Shores. Bella Vista Condos. June 2012 - 06/25/12 10:37 PM
My May Market report about Bella Vista in Daytona Beach Shores had 4 units for sale. One month later there are only 3 units for sale on MLS.
For a building with 100 units it is a very low number. In "normal" market there should be on average 7 units for sale, give or take... And when there are fewer units on the market, the prices are generally higher...
It is the same old supply and demand thing. Yes, the demand is still soft, but the supply is very low. And it results in higher prices. Not by much yet, … (2 comments)

daytona oceanfront 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 … (49 comments)

daytona oceanfront condos: Living in Daytona Beach Shores. Living by the ocean. - 09/06/11 12:15 AM
Daytona area has 23 miles of the Beach.
The longest shoreline is in Daytona Beach Shores. Being so much smaller than its neighbor Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores “picked” the best place on the beachside.

Our office is in Daytona Beach, in the oceanfront condo-hotel. And I live in Daytona beach Shhores. I try to walk home from my office as often as I can, and I enjoy walking barefoot … (13 comments)
