port orange: Port Orange Florida Real Estate Market Analysis - 32128 Zip - 03/06/12 01:32 AM

As a real estate professional, it is important to stay current with home values. On a regular basis I research neighborhoods in my area of expertise. When I list or get ready to make an offer, I complete even more target specific research into the values.
The 32128 ZIP code has the highest income and education attainment levels in the area. The Sanctuary on Spruce Creek and Sabal Creek neighborhoods are two of the most desirable in 32128.
Let's look at two 6 month periods. The past 6 months, and the 6 months before that. For consistency we will … (0 comments)

port orange: Port Orange, Fl Sanctuary on Spruce Creek Market Analysis - 11/05/10 06:38 AM
Market research is something I enjoy. I don't know exactly why I love crunching numbers. Maybe it is from back in college when I studied data collection and analysis. Maybe it was from my former profession when I studied crime statistics and evaluated job performances of law enforcement officers. Later I was hired by dozens of banks (still am) to advise them on what their bank owned properties are worth.
No matter what the reason, the buyers and sellers I work with have certainly appreciated my ability to predict what homes will sell for and in how much time.
As an … (1 comments)

port orange: FEES CHARGED TO BUYERS - 01/30/10 08:10 AM
Buyers generally understand some of the costs they will have to pay when purchasing a home.  An unexpected cost may be a transaction fee or other miscellaneous fee that the seller's broker will try to charge you, even if they are not representing you.
I searched the MLS in the Daytona Beach area last week and found 3 brokers that charge fees to buyers. They list a property for sale and have an agreement with the seller. But if someone wants to buy the home, they want to charge the buyer.
If I can explain it to the buyer in advance, it … (7 comments)

port orange: Port Orange, Florida Market Analysis - 11/24/09 01:43 AM
 
According  to Florida Association of Realtor Media site, for September of 2009, sales in the Daytona Beach area were up by 43% and prices had fallen 18% compared to the previous year. This is median sales price.
I handle many bank owned properties and the banks want to know market trends, not just for their listings, but for the market in general. Research like this is more accurate than what you see on the news or on the internet regarding large trends. The difference is not only due to local markets not reflecting larger ones, but also because of how … (2 comments)

port orange: REO "experts" and "specialists" - 12/21/08 12:52 AM
I got a good laugh this morning. Checking out a listing in a high end subdivision. The listing brokerage has specialized in high end listings for many years. Guess sales are getting lean.
Out of NOWHERE, their web site claims they are "The area's only brokerage specializing in REO properties." They have fewer total listings than we have REOs. We have 120 REOs and 39 in the pre-list and they have about 6 total listings and only about 2 are REO.
Is this fake it 'til you make it or just flat out lying?
Anybody else out there seeing all these … (3 comments)
