            <title>Palmer Chiropractic Student Housing In Port Orange, Florida</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Affordable housing is now available in Port Orange for Palmer Chiropractic students. There are affordable options available that will allow you to build equity instead of wasting your money on rent. A few Port Orange home options include Villaggio On The Lakes, Whispering Creek, and attached homes in Coquina Cove and Pelican Bay. 


Villagio&nbsp;On The Lakes home&nbsp;options start in the low 100's for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom and increase slightly for 2 bedroom 2 bathroom options. This property is 3 stories and some units offer lake views. This gated condo property is definitely recommended.


Whispering Creek is located slightly farther from the Chiropractic School in Port Orange. Located towards the end of Airport Rd you will find this condo complex. Condo units are available at this property in the low 100's up to the 200's. 2/2's and 3/3's are available with nice kitchens and layouts that accomodate the student lifestyle. 


Pelican Bay is a gated community in Daytona Beach. It is located within 5 miles and only a short drive to the Chiropractic campus. Attached homes and townhomes are available starting in the low 100's. This location is also conveniently located next to I-95. The 24 hour guarded and gated security is attractive to many parents. 


This is a small list of Port Orange home opportunities. For a complete list of homes that would be ideal for students, contact Kevin.

            <title>Florida Real Estate News - October</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Worries in the real estate market still continued to hamper the Florida market this past October. &nbsp;



According to the Florida Association of Realtors, sales of existing single-family homes totaled 9165, a sharp drop off of 29 percent from one year before, October 2006, when 12,846 of these homes were sold.&nbsp; &nbsp;



National figures show a decrease in these figures as well, albeit a much smaller decline.&nbsp; In September 2007 these homes median selling price fell 4.9 percent when compared to one year ago.&nbsp; &nbsp;



With fewer houses being sold, prices have dropped in an effort to lure buyers.&nbsp; In October, Floridas median selling price for existing single-family homes was $222,100.&nbsp; One year ago this figure was at a robust $247,700, or an eight percent decrease from October 2006 to October 2007.&nbsp; &nbsp;



However the long term trend is positive as the median sales price for singe-family dwellings in 2002 was $140,900 for an increase of 57.6 percent over the five-year period.&nbsp;



Existing condominium sales also hit a lull in October 2007.&nbsp; 2819 condos were sold as opposed to the 3508 sold just one year prior, a 20 percent decline.&nbsp; Median sales price tumbled from $209,500 to $192,400, an eight percent decrease.&nbsp;



Ranging from large markets to small, every sector of Floridas real estate market took a hit.&nbsp;



The Daytona Beach area reported a 25 percent decrease in existing home sales from October 2006-October 2007 (665 in 06, 497 in 07) according to the Daytona Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area,&nbsp; The median price fell from $215,800 to $184,600, a 14 percent decrease.&nbsp; In October 2007, 61 existing condos were sold, a 25 percent decline from 81 in October 2006.&nbsp; The median price for condos was $218,800 a seven percent decrease from the same time last year when the median price was $236,500.&nbsp;



Likewise, smaller markets like Gainesville showed similar regression.&nbsp; The Gaineville MSA notes 175 homes sold as opposed to 208 last year at this time, a 16 percent decrease.&nbsp; The median selling price was $225,600 in October 2006 but fell to $198,200 for a 12 percent decrease.&nbsp; Condos fared slightly better here but still had a drop-off.&nbsp; 38 condos were sold and had a median price of $156,000.&nbsp; The previous October saw 40 sold and a median selling price of $162,500, declines of five and four percent respectively.&nbsp;



Despite these figures many market insiders, including the National Association of Realtors, are optimistic and expect a stark improvement and market correction looming on the horizon.&nbsp;

            <title>New Property Tax Plan For Florida -  Port Orange &amp; Daytona Beach</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Our leaders in the Florida House and Senate continue to look for the perfect &quot;band-aid fix&quot; for our property taxes. The Florida Property Tax problem is more like a &quot;deadly cut&quot; and not a minor bruise. It will take much more than a band-aid to fix the current inequities in the Florida Property Tax system. Homeowners in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, and throughout Central Florida&nbsp;are affected. 





&nbsp;The most recent proposal includes:



    
Doubling of homestead exemptions - The lawmakes want to add another $25,000 homestead exemption. Does not apply to school taxes. BIG DEAL!! This doesn't fix the problem! 

    
Low-Income Senior Exemption - Are you 65 or older? You may not have to pay taxes if this new plan is voted in. Is this Fair? 

    
First time homebuyers exemption - Another 25% exemption. It's beginning to look like these lawmakes are trying to make this tax plan confusing!! We do not need more exemptions! 

    
Portability For Homesteaded Property Owners - This continues the problem and does not fix the current inquities with our property tax system. Basically, lawmakes want to transfer this problem into the future and not fix it.. This is&nbsp;not fair! 

    
Affordable Housing Assessments - Affordable housing will be assessed at at a lesser value. Is this fair?. 

    
Tangible Personal Property Exemptions&nbsp;up to $25,000. 

    
Millage Rate Restrictions - Government revenues are limited. 

    
Presumption Of Correctness - Deals with property appreciation and increases in taxes for a property. 

    
Affodable Housing and Community Land Trusts owned by LLP - This limits the assessments that can be made to improvements to real property that are used for affordable housing. 

    
Property appraisers must be elected. 

    
Tax Limitations On Local Government. 




Why can't our Senate and House leaders develop a fair and equitable property tax plan for all Florida homeowners?&nbsp;Port Orange real estate&nbsp;&amp; Daytona Beach condo taxes are too high and&nbsp;this tax plan is very disappointing.

            <title>Port Orange Property Tax Amendment Removed From Ballot</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
A Florida judge ruled that the property tax amendment could dupe voters into voting incorrectly in January. He apparatly does&nbsp;not like the wording and wants the amendment removed from the ballot. 


Lawmakers can appeal this judgement and try to get it back on the January ballot. Another choice includes rewriting the amendment. Whichever route is taken, a final decision and acceptance must be made within 90 days of the vote in order for the amendment to make the ballot.
