Ormond Beach Real Estate. Information and Market Reports by Lisa Hill, "THE SMART CHOICE!" This real estate update is for the 2009 1st quarter real estate listings and sales report for Ormond Beach Florida. As I've done with some of the other city reports for the 1st quarter of Volusia county, in this report I'll include a short explanation of the Daytona Beach area, and the 7 cities it composes. Ormond Beach is quite simply, the city on the farthest north side of Volusia County. As a matter of fact there is one Ormond Beach secure, gated community called Plantation Bay, in which some streets extend from Volusia County, into Flagler County as well. The following real estate data is formatted into chart form, as well as graph form. As I did with the other cities, I've separated this rea...

I am a bit behind with the calendar, and this event took place already a week and a half ago, but knowing that better late, than never, I am blogging about it now. This was a perfect Sunday afternoon. Ormond Beach. I never heard about a Confederate Memorial Day, and could not expect it in our politically correct society, but hey, here it was. The event took place at Pilgrims Rest Cemetery. Actually, this was a 100-year anniversary of the cemetery, and it was fascinated to see and hear Nancy Partridge, a descendant of the cemetery’s land donor. Activities were free and included the cannon fire, gun salutes by Confederate re-enactors, readings at the grave sites… I did not know that there are 7 grave sites of confederate soldiers, who lived in the area. They mostly died at a rather good a...

Yesterday I posted a price reduction on one of my listings, a 3/2 close to Ormond Beach now listed at $209,900. I thought the best way to show buyers and the sellers the competition, was to run a search of like homes.  RealBird lets you use zip code, or city, or neighborhood - it's an open menu box, and then you limit by distance from there, price range, bed/bath, type of property, and key words. So here's my widget showing 34 matching properties.  Limits were zip code, distance 3 miles, single family, $175,000-$275,000, 3 bedrooms/2 baths.  These aren't solely MLS listings but may be - the data source is Google Base. It gives you one more tool to provide property information to your clients and provide more service. RealBird has a free version (with ads) but I chose the $99/year ad-fre...

In an effort curve further contractings in US economy the Federal Reserve decided to buy up nearly $2 Trillion of non-traditional assetts while leaving key interest rates low. "Job losses, declining equity and housing wealth and tight credit conditions have weighed on consumer sentiment and spending," the Fed's monetary-policy committee said this afternoon in announcing its move. Now the Fed previously stated it planed to buy just $600 Billion in mortgage bonds, U.S. Treasury Bonds and other securities on the open market, but is now planning closer to tripple that amount at $1.75 Trillion. So, how does this affect housing? In the short run...offen these policies impact mortgage rates causing them to lower.  In this case...rates should be back a records lows.  Experts are saying this cou...

A Great Time To Buy Ormond By The Sea Homes & Condos This is a great time to buy Ormond By The Sea homes and condos. The inventory of properties for sale is high giving buyers many choices in any given price range. Mortgage rates continue to be low and are very attractive. Values and prices have come down to where they were prior to the significant increases of a few years ago. All these factors make Ormond By The Sea homes and condos more affordable than in the past several years. Add to that the fact that many sellers of real estate are becoming more flexible due to the economic conditions and their inability to sell at the "peak" prices. There is also the availability of the $8,000 first time home buyer credit. Go to http://webapps2.planetrealtor.com/idx/pkg_IDX.pr_IDXSearch?sStateID...

If you recall I posted about attending court on behalf of a seller...fortunately for us...the attorney did not show..we now have submitted our short sale package...and if it gets accepted we have little to worry about.   Last week our top producer called me...she has a beautiful listing..and with an offer...but the bank gave her a hard time..and the offer was not accepted.. As she finished her story I reminded her I had gone to court for my customer..  When she heard this...her ears perked up she could not wait to hear the outcome because a date had been set for her customer and she just found out!   She warned me the seller isn't able to attend! The seller is out of the area..just started a new job...the seller isn't going to risk her employment. So our top producer went to court.....w...

Fortunato park is located at a very special place. The riverfront park is across the road from Ormond Heritage Condominiums, where in the times of glory Hotel Ormond was defining the skyline of Ormond Beach for more than a century. Built in 1887 by Joseph Price and John Anderson, and opened January 1, 1888 as a 75-room hotel, it was two years later bought and expanded to 400-room gorgeous Hotel, by Henry Flagler - his first hotel in Florida. The managers invited 30 wealthy sportsmen to ride their cars, a novelty at that time, on the hard packed sands on the nearby beach. That's how the race on the beach was born in 1903. Now it is called the Birthplace of Speed. Nearly half a century the race was held on the Beach until the International Speedway was built. The Birthpalce of Speed Park ...

Beginnig of last week, your eye would catch more and more those old beautiful cars, that were able to survive time. They heralded the arrival of the biggest Car show in the nation, the Turkey Run As everything in life, some cars became famous and sought for, and some didn't. Some are coming with the price tag that makes you scratch your head. But what is the most fascinating, is the love towards those old gorgeous cars, that allowed them to survive and fascinate us. And what is the better place for that than Daytona's Turkey Run, - the event traditionally tied to Thanksgiving.
