plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. November 2011 - 02/12/12 11:54 PM
This post was written in November, but for some reason I did not publish it at that time. I thought to delete it, but then looked at the listings, and it is a great comparison to today (copmare it with my blog posted last week).
Very telling change. So, I decided to post it now. Sometimes "old" stuff is as good as new, if not better.
Plaza Resort & Spa at 600 N. Atlantic Ave in Daytona Beach is a premiere condo-hotel in the daytona beach area. Here is the link to over 20 blogs that I wrote about it, … (0 comments)

Association Dues in Plaza Resort & Spa.
Jon,
I have been considering looking to buy in the Plaza Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach....but the $428 monthly maintenance fee...what is included in this? Seems high, but I know its a very nice place to live / vacation?
This is from the e-mail I have received from AR reader. I have written about it before, but could not find it in those hundreds and hundreds of blogs.
Plaza Resort & Spa is a Condo-Hotel. It is one of the oldest hotels initially built in 1911, and then completely rebuilt in 1969. It … (4 comments)

plaza resort daytona: If I Want To Buy a Unit In Plaza Resort Today? - 02/06/12 01:00 AM
I received a call from a Canadian buyer. He called me a week ago and questioned me about one of my listings in Plaza Resort & Spa, a premier Condo-Hotel in Daytona Beach. I sent him all the information, we exchanged a few e-mails, and then it all came to a halt.
I called him, and he explained that he made an offer on another unit in Plaza Resort & Spa. The one, which is direct oceanfront, and mine isn't. I figured that there is another agent involved, and I know that agent, so I said that it was fine and … (8 comments)

plaza resort daytona: How Many Units Are For Sale in Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach? - 02/02/12 09:45 PM
Plaza Resort & Spa, the premier Daytona Beach condo-hotel, is awake from the sleepy winter. A week ago there were 25 units for sale, and today only 22. The inventory is decreasing, but the prices have gone down as they always do in the slowest time of the year. They will slowly rise, expecially in summer.
Summer is when we have seasonal real estate boom in Daytona Beach Area.
So, there are 22 units for sale in MLS in Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. Well, this is what MLS says. In reality there is 21 unit.
Unit 506, … (0 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Direct Oceanfront Studio in The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. - 10/12/11 04:03 PM
This is a direct oceanfront condo-hotel unit in The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Plaza is one of the best condo-hotels in the area. A few years ago I would have added «and the most expensive», but today it is not really the case. Prices are up from a year ago, don't make a mistake about it, but they are still not through the roof, and are only 35 to 45 cents on a dollar compared to the initial prices of 2005-2006 when the Resort was converted to condo-hotel.
So, yes, the price for this direct oceanfront condo … (7 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. September 2011 - 09/11/11 11:29 PM
I have not been writing about Plaza Resort & Spa, a premier condo-hotel in Daytona Beach, for quite some time. It is time to revisit it and look at what is happening in the market.
Plaza Resort & Spa is one of the oldest condo-hotels (with only Hawaiian Inn being 4 years older), but it is one of the nicest resorts in the area, a higher end property and it is reflected in the overall ambience and in higher rates and higher occupancy.
The developer accumulated a lot of oceanfront properties, both hotels and vacant land, but Plaza Resort & Spa … (13 comments)

plaza resort daytona: The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. June 2011 Market Snapshot - 06/12/11 10:49 PM
While I still see people waiting for better deals in The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, I can’t help thinking how resilient they are and how strong their belief in the falling market is. Not that they do not believe me when I am telling them that the prices in the Plaza Resort & Spa are inching up, they keep sticking me newspapers with predictions of another price fallout.
Let’s see what is really happening with prices in the Plaza Resort & Spa. Let’s look 18 months back, at January 9, 2011. In my blog Plaza Resort & … (1 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. April 2011 - 04/28/11 06:51 AM
We often see fluctuation in the market, and it is important to tell a trend from a fluke. I was surprised a couple of weeks ago to notice a few units popping up in The Plaza Resort and Spa, a premier condo-hotel in Daytona Beach, for very low price. It looked as if the second wave of those crazy deals was coming back.
We put 2 out of three those units under contract, and I was curious whether that was to continue. It did not. The prices are still getting higher in The Plaza, prompting some of my clients to start playing with the idea … (7 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort in Daytona Beach. Signs of Revival - 04/07/11 12:39 AM
I have not visited Plaza Resort & Spa, a premier condo-hotel in Daytona Beach, for some time, and the changes are very noticeable. No, not with the building, not with their gorgeous lobby, not with the units...
It is the price. Today's price starts from $59K for a city view unit. Wow, this is back to about 2 years ago, before the avalanche of foreclosures and short sales have driven the priced quite low. The lowest price for a studio (and, by the way, with some ocean view) was $20,500 (we represented the buyer). Now a city view is for sale … (10 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Why Are the Prices All Over? - 01/13/11 01:16 AM
Here's the e-mail I received.
Jon,
Thank you for the link to IDX, I appreciate that. I am looking at the Plaza Resort and prices for oceanfront studios are all over the board.
unit 331- $69,500 unit 334 - $98,750 unit 636 - $189,000 unit 734 - $272,000 unit 831 - $359,900
Does the higher floor justify 5 times difference? Thanks,Jerry
What an excellent question.
In 2005 when developer started selling units in Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, the price was based on:
1. view (city, ocean view, and oceanfront), 2. size, 3. floor, where the higher you … (7 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach - 12/17/10 11:27 PM
Plaza Resort & Spa is #2 on my list of condo-hotels in Daytona Beach area only behind Ocean Walk Wyndham Resort.
I have not posted about it for quite some time, so here it goes.
Surprise or not surprise, but there are only 27 units left for sale in the resort. Considering that a year and a half ago we had 52-56 units for sale in the Plaza Resort & Spa at all times, the inventory today is only half of what it used to be.
Call us if you have questions about condo-hotels, and not only condo-hotels in Daytona Beach … (4 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Creative Buying - 10/24/10 10:38 PM
We are all used to Creative Financing and now it often has a bad taste to it. But there is also creative buying. It often involves doing something beyond MLS. I might involve maybe even more than an extra step. Here’s a “fresh” example.
When unit in The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach hit MLS, I was a bit slow to inquire, and when I called the Listing Agent, he said that he already had 4 offers, but he can’t sell anyway, as it was going to an auction.
I told my good investor that we were out of … (13 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. Fee is 20% Less This Year... What? - 02/21/10 09:08 PM
In my recent blog Changes in Plaza Resort & Spa - Daytona Beach Condo-Hotel I mentioned that Maintenance fee has been reduced by $100.02 a month. Form $528.24 to $428.22.
Wow!
I think The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach is the only condo (and condo-hotel) in the area to reduce the monthly Association (aka Maintenance) fee. But before rejoicing, let us think about it.
Association fee is a function of the budget. The Association puts together their annual budget, and then divide it in a specified manner (by sq ft. or by unit) and establishes the amount per unit. The Plaza Resort & … (0 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Changes in Plaza Resort & Spa - Daytona Beach Condo-Hotel - 02/19/10 07:40 PM
We have not visited the Plaza Resort & Spa for some time. So, what happened in the Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach since we visited it last?
Well, there are quite some changes. Plaza Resort & Spa is a condo-hotel, and it has the condoowners Association. There was an annual meeting of the Association. As I wrote before, this is the Developer's association. They do not run monthly meetings, and they, pretty much do what any hotel would do.
At this annual meeting there was the budget to vote for, and they did. What everyone was waiting for was … (0 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. Market Snapshot - 01/09/10 09:07 PM
Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. I wrote extensively on this condo-hotel resort.
There are 33 active listings in this Daytona Beach premier condo-hotel resort right now, and there were 26 sales in 2009. This number in both categories is much higher than in any other condo-hotel in the area. The table below will give you the idea of today's asking prices. I simply want to note that we commonly distinguish between Oceanfront (East exposure), Oceanview (North & South exposure), and City View (West exposure).
No wonder, oceanfront is on average fetches more money and City View is the least … (4 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach... 4th of July Weekend - 07/04/09 08:08 PM
Plaza Reaort & Spa is the Premiere Condo-Hotel Resort in Daytona Beach.
An Orlando couple walked in my office yesterday off a Marquee sign in front of the resort saying "Condos For Sale From $50K". So, I took them to one of the units in Fountain Beach Resort, were my office is, and they were unimpressed. They asked me whether I could show them anything that would impress them.
Sure.
I suggested that we go and look at Plaza, and I told them that I could not guarantee I culd be able to show them the units, but at least they would get the idea … (0 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. Maintenance, Taxes & Insurance... - 07/01/09 01:04 AM
Somehow my posts about The Plaza Resort & Spa got some people confused. I am getting quite a number of requests regarding Plaza Resort, and here are many questions and concerns regarding the Association Fee, Maintenance, Taxes & Insurance.
Q. What is the monthly Maintenance (Association) Fee?A. Maintenance Fee is $528.50 a month. There are condo-hotels in Daytona Beach area with nearly half of that maintenance, and where your rental income is not enough to cover maintenance fee and taxes.
Q. Does it mean that Plaza Resort & Spa with their higher maintenance would cost you money to pay towards maintenance and taxes. A. No, … (0 comments)

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. What Is The Worst Thing That May Happen To A Condo-Hotel - 05/13/09 12:55 AM
Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach is in the spotlight today. Prices are low, but people still keep asking this sacral question "What is the worst thing that may happen to a condo-hotel?"
I often think that if my buyers could buy a condo-hotel for only one dollar, they would still want to make sure that they can not lose.
Mentioning a dollar has reason. Because the answer really depends on what you paid for it.
Let us take Plaza Resort & Spa as the example. This is right now the only condo-hotel where there is a lot of activity because of … (7 comments)

plaza resort daytona: HOW TO BUY A UNIT IN PLAZA RESORT & SPA IN DAYTONA BEACH. TALKING ABOUT VALUES - 05/12/09 09:39 PM
This is now a daily occurrence. I get e-mails or calls from people who are interested in Plaza Resort and Spa, a premier Daytona Beach condo-hotel. They are asking how to buy a unit in Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. Lets start talking about values.
Prices start from high $40s, nice 4-star resort, and with prices like these it beats any other condo-hotel in the area.
The problem is that my callers think that these prices are the market values in Plaza, and nearly everyone thinks that in this market they can get things for half of the price.

plaza resort daytona: Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach...Why Is It So Expensive? Wrong Question... - 03/01/09 12:54 AM
I was showing units in Plaza Resort to a couple from New York. They are for a good investment, and it should be a nice place as the husband wants to use it to wow his suppliers and also use it to send employees as a reward.
I have already showed the units to him, and now he came with his lovely wife, so that the real boss could say "yes" or "no".
Prices in the Plaza Resort & Spa, one of the most luxurious condo-hotels range from $55K to $459K, where $459K is a dream price from 2005-2006 and $55K is … (8 comments)
