ormond beach real estate: Hey Remember Me? Probably Not! - 06/07/10 03:57 PM
It's been a long time and you probably don't remember me but I would like to share some valuable information about ActiveRain to the community.
Back in 2008 I had the opportunity to meet Bob Stewart and vowed that I would blog to gain contacts, leads, friendships and opportunities.  You could say, I threw it out the window, just like so many I tried it but I got really busy.  So busy blogging was the first thing to go. 
Something big happened in Daytona Beach, the short sale and REO real estate market.  I became a very active part of the … (8 comments)

ormond beach real estate: A Postive Message from Senator Don Gaetz - 10/23/07 08:35 AM
I just recieved this email below from Senator Don Gaetz as an updated on where we are with the current legislative specail session.  I really hope we can get some sort of agreement by the Senate to approve some of what the house is proposing.  We only have until October 29th to put something together to put on the ballot in January.   
Dear Mr. Anderson,
The clamor over property taxes spills over with competing claims, disputed numbers and plans de jure.  As I participated in thirteen hours of Finance and Tax Committee hearings, thirty hours of meetings with pro and con groups and … (0 comments)

ormond beach real estate: The saga continues....will we ever have tax reform? - 10/17/07 02:51 PM
 
I truly can't take it anymore.  Can our legislatures figure out a reasonable and meaningful resolution to our property taxes?  I don't think they can.
The proposed "Super Exemption" that was to be on the ballot in January wasn't perfect but it was progress.  As you are probably aware a judge filed to have the amendment removed from the ballot because it was unconstitutional and confusing for the average voter. 
Here is an outline of the super exemption and how the property taxes would be calculated: increase the homestead exemption from $25,000 to 75 percent of the just value of the property … (2 comments)

ormond beach real estate: Finally, Some Good News About The Real Estate Market - 07/12/07 07:18 AM
I just read an article put out by the Florida Association of Realtors.  Finally some good press about the real estate market.  Can the local news do a story with some positives about the market to give the people the confidence they need to start buying again?  I have found so many good buys out in our market and people are hesitant to buy.  "Buyers now have an overwhelming advantage given the wide selection of homes available in many markets," says Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist.
Here are some highlights from the article about our improving real estate market:
Home prices are expected … (5 comments)

ormond beach real estate: Call Your Realtor Today Before Prices Go Any Higher. Median Home Prices Fall Slightly, Jump On It! - 06/27/07 05:42 AM
People are still on the fence waiting to see if prices will fall any more.  The market has seen a correction over the last year or so.  The median home price in Florida according to an article put out by the Florida Association of Realtors states that Florida's median sales price for existing single-family homes last month was $237,000; a year ago, it was $250,100 for a 5 percent decrease. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.
In May 2002, the statewide median sales price for single-family homes was $137,100, for an increase of … (1 comments)

ormond beach real estate: Biggest Tax Overhaul in Florida History - Is it as Good as it Sounds? - 06/18/07 03:00 AM
Legislation ended their special session on Thursday with what sounds like a huge reduction in our property taxes, but wait.  Is it is good as it was built up to be?  It could be if everything goes as planned and people vote out the Save Our Homes amendment.  We are going to see a rollback of between 7% and 9% initially and the big reduction will be seen in the planned super exemption. 
I have to applaud our legislatures for all the hard work they have put in.  It has and continues to be a very heated battle between city and state government.  This … (11 comments)
