daytona condo: Another Beautiful Condo in Ormond-by-the-Sea
- 10/26/15 01:23 PM
We just finished remodeling another condo in Ormond Beach area. This time it is a 2-bedr/2 baths second floor unit in 106-unit Kingston Shores.
Built in 1973, Kingston Shores is the last property in Volusia County. The untouchable preserve runs for couple of miles between Kingston Shores and Flagler County. The complex of just over 100 units spans from the river (Intracoastal) on the West and the Ocean on the East.
The unit is partially stage as a rental / vacation condo. It is excellent for it. With 1 month minimum rental period, which in our area is quite liberal, as … (5 comments)

daytona condo: The Art & Heart of Condo Living
- 03/25/12 11:06 AM
A couple in their early retirement years leaves cold Michigan and moves to warm and welcoming Daytona Beach. They are downsizing, they sold their big home and bought a 2 bdr modest condo right on the beach, and they enjoy a nice ocean view from their balcony. The condo has “no pets” policy, and it is fine with the couple. They had dogs in their home in Michigan, but there was a large yard and dogs could roam it and they did not bother anybody. It is different in a smaller condo on the 17th floor.
15 years of living … (19 comments)

daytona condo: Auction In Daytona Beach Shores
- 04/27/09 10:52 PM
With the market like this, we are used to see the signs "Auction" while driving along A1A. Never went to one, know that there isn't much success, as people are waiting, and the hype is simply not there.
I can only imagine auctions 4 years ago. I actually remember how we all went to Venetian Bay to make reservations for condos for our out-of-state buyers. The rules were strict and there were 5 of us, because you could not reserve more than one condo for your client.
We came at 3 AM, and there were 3 people ahead of us. We … (29 comments)

daytona condo: Ritz Carlton Has A Better Customer Service. But For Big Bucks
- 11/26/08 07:10 PM
By virtue of having my office in the Condo-Hotel, I am involved in them more than I would like it.
There are advantages of having the office in the condo-hotel and disadvantages. Advantage is that you are on the ocean. You can walk out of your office and enjoy the breeze, give rest to your eyes, just take a break and recoup. Of course, I do not do any of that, but isn't it this way in life: we are dying to have something, and then never use it. Knowing that I can go there any time, that;s what important. Also, the convenience … (9 comments)

daytona condo: Below Market Deals In Oceanside Inn
- 08/07/08 07:17 PM
Guys (abbreviation for Ladies & Gentlemen),
The market is at its low (and maybe the lowest point), which makes it terrific time the buyers. It's the hunting season in Real Estate.
This is our No BS newsletter. We are not sending a BS newsletter as we figured that we can't compete with the media.
If you are OK with what we are sending, enjoy reading (and buying). I promise, we will be getting better. If you do not want the No BS newsletter, just let us know and we will immediately comply by manually (alas!) deleting it from our most precious … (2 comments)

daytona condo: The Death of a Dissident
- 08/03/08 06:23 PM
Just got the news that the most known former Soviet dissident, Nobel prize winner, writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn died in Russia at age 90 just several hours ago.
Solzhenitsyn had his first brush with the authorities when KGB reported him as critical of the regime, and Solzhenitsyn, an army officer, was arrested at the end of WWII and sent to GULAG camp for 8 years. When released, he worked as a teacher.
In 1962 he published a small but extremely powerful novel "One day in life of Ivan Denisovich". It is showing one day of life of an ordinary man in the labor … (17 comments)

daytona condo: Condo-Hotels. Looking at the Stats.
- 08/03/08 10:54 AM
It is important to get the perspective on that condo-hotel market, and not go by the myths.
I am always stunned when people stumble into our office and tell us that they could buy a unit in the Fountain Beach Resort for $10K in 1990.
Guess what? They couldn't. The hotel was converted to condos in 1998-1999 and even at that time there were no sales for $10K. But we like to believe it. I have not yet met an old enough guy who would say that he got paid to buy one of those sometime in 1951 following that logic.

daytona condo: How To Spot A Real Deal Buying a Condo-Hotel In Daytona Beach

How To Spot A Real Deal Buying a Condo-Hotel In Daytona Beach
The Plaza Hotel & Spa is one of two really luxury condo-hotels in greater Daytona Beach area. The conversion came at the height of the market and was very successful and then died, so to say, on a dime, leaving close to 100 units out of 322 units in the hands of the developers, who happen to be the biggest hoteliers in the area.
At the peak of conversion to condo-hotel, the prices went higher than $810 per sq. ft., which was nearly double what older condo-hotels were … (8 comments)
