buy: Port Orange Real Estate Market Update
- 11/15/07 01:33 PM
Port Orange real estate sales have been slow, as have all areas of Volusia county. So I decided a market update was in order. I've had so few real estate calls lately that I'd be checking to make sure my phone is working if it weren't for the calls I was getting from parties who were interested in renting my condo conversion project listing. For this update, I gleaned the information from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for the Daytona Beach Area Association of REALTORS® and decided to share it with you. As of November 15, 2007 there are 972 active MLS listings … (1 comments)

I have a condo-conversion project listed, with 42 units available for sale. There are studios, 1 bedroom and 2 bedrooms units available, priced from $114,900 to $148,900. Before I get to the point, I'll insert a side not here and thank Rick Garcia for his assistance when I started working with this particular seller. You see, the seller lives and works in south Florida and kept bringing up methods of doing business there. Knowing I had seen quite a few condos listed on their Miamism and Active Rain blogs, I gave Rick and Inez Garcia a call. Inez was out in … (8 comments)
buy: Explaining Contingency Offers To Real Estate Sellers-Localism Featured
- 11/13/07 09:24 AM
With the market being as slow as it is, some real estate sellers may be desperate enough to consider purchase offers that are contingent on other sales. Unfortunately, this consideration sometimes stems from the misconception that their listing will still be readily available to potential buyers. But this is simply not the case! As the listing agent of quite a few houses, condos, manufactured homes and vacant parcels, when another agent brings me an offer on one of my listings, with a contingency attached that involves the sale of another house, condo, manufactured home or piece of vacant land, I can … (6 comments)
buy: Daytona Beach Area Home Sellers Beware!
- 11/12/07 06:22 AM
Please be aware that a woman posing as a REALTOR® is targeting homes with FOR SALE signs. This woman will knock on the door, tell the owner that she has spoken with the listing agent and she is there to preview the home for a customer. When asked for a business card she was able to produce one from a legit REALTOR®. The photo might resemble this woman but it is not her! Once in the home, the woman is looking for prescription drugs. She will probably ask to use the restroom, so she can dig through the medicine cabinet. So far, … (2 comments)
buy: Buying or Selling Ponce Inlet real estate?
- 11/03/07 11:20 AM
If you're buying or selling real estate in Ponce Inlet, you'll be interested in this information. For those of you who are not familiar with Ponce Inlet Florida, let me start with a little bit of information about the city. Ponce Inlet is an exclusive, coastal town in the Daytona Beach area, but it's very different from the rest of east Volusia county for quite a few reasons. While many cities in the Daytona Beach area extend from the ocean to the mainland, Ponce Inlet is only found on the beachside/peninsula side of the Halifax River, aka Intracoastal Waterway. It's located … (2 comments)

- 10/27/07 06:43 PM
Another blogger here on Active Rain, Mike Mueller came up with the great idea for us to write about what we love about our jobs. I'm not sure if I can put how I feel into words, but here goes. I think the best way to explain how I feel about selling real estate is to share how I got here. My previous job was at a manufactured home sales company in Port Orange. I was there for 6 years; in management in their DeLand office for the final 2 years. (I learned many things there, that led me to where I … (10 comments)
buy: Update for Daytona Beach Area Real Estate Sales
- 10/27/07 12:13 PM
Today I found a new question on my blog post about Real Estate Activity for the area of Daytona Beach Florida. This question was referencing why we're seeing so many expired listings each month in the Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service (MLS). To answer the question of why we have so many expired listings, let's look at the ratio of listings vs sales. Approximately 7,000 listings on the market at any given time.A YTD average of 259 sales per month. Long story short = 2.25 years of inventory. This obviously means we're going to keep seeing a lot of homes expire. I'd also like … (0 comments)

I know that many Active Rain users have already posted variations of this subject, but due to the continued decrease in real estate market activity, I felt pressed to write this post as a warning to my friends & colleagues in the real estate industry. As real estate professionals, we all know that in spite of what the media would have people believe, the job of a REALTOR® is not about pulling a few listings from the MLS, then driving around showing houses, then collecting a paycheck. We know that showing properties is a minuscule part of our jobs. (Buyers and sellers, … (21 comments)

This is going to be a quick, fun post about the Daytona Beach area. But to start, it's usually necessary to point out the fact that what people believe is all Daytona Beach, is actually several small cities, all within close proximity to each other, with Daytona Beach being in the center.

- 10/16/07 02:47 PM
This month, our FAR/BAR Contract for Sale and Purchase, and our FAR/BAR As-Is Contract for Sale and Purchase underwent major revisions. If you're a real estate buyer or seller, be sure to only work with a REALTOR® who is educated on these changes. Hiring a REALTOR® who is not familiar with the legalities and specific verbiage of our contracts, is asking for problems with your transaction. Basically, the REALTOR® who is most knowledgeable and has the greatest comprehension of the meaning of each clause of the contract, is going to have the advantage in the negotiating process, and in the period … (7 comments)

The bikers are here! Daytona Beach Biketoberfest 2007 has not officially started yet, but the bikers decided to kickoff the party early.
