<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/1825/image/trucks_oceans_new_smyrna_copy.jpg" width="1000" height="489" title="truck surfing new smyrna beach, fl" alt=" surfing=" trucks="" new="" smyrna="" beach="" fl="" />Having lived in the Daytona Beach area for 40 years, and having worked in real estate for more than half of those, I have seen and heard it all about what us “crazy” Floridians are up to. From the “Florida Man” headlines regarding wild MTV spring breaks in the 80’s and 90’s, to the annual pick-up truck rallies and motorcycles filling the beachside, to a recent New Smyrna rooster wrecking, to just this week, when a man drove through the beach waves, and later told police, "It's not my fault the truck don't surf," - the Daytona Beach area seems to find itself “World Famous” for the wrong reasons at times. But what do these attention-grabbing national headlines have in common? That’s right, it’s not actually Floridians disturbing the peace, but rather visitors from across the nation; the NSB rooster killer was from St. Louis, the truck surfer is from New York, and our other famous annual events are filled with tourists from every state between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. So while I love to help anyone and everyone in finding beautiful Florida real estate, as the old adage goes, those pointing their finger at Florida from their northern or west coast state should realize they have three fingers pointing back at their own state. But seriously, we do have some crazy people down here, too. Please contact me if you need any assistance with a home or condo sale, and Welcome to Florida!
A Look at Life & Real Estate with Kevin Kling January 25, 2024

As I was driving my kids to school this morning I saw a sign that said, “Watch for Children,” and while I am surely going to miss those boys, this new Rolex looks fantastic on my wrist!
I’m just kidding - nobody would trade me that nice of a watch for my two boys! Now of course, this was just a corny segue to talk about the Rolex 24 at Daytona this weekend, which will see 59 race teams drive a 3.56 mile track for twenty-four straight hours. Admittedly, I’m not extremely knowledgeable of Grand Touring or Le Mans Prototypes, but I’d certainly like to get better acquainted with Rolex watches, especially our hometown’s namesake timepiece that is given to the winner of this annual race. So if Brad Pitt can pretend to be a race car driver, and I assume also own a Rolex watch, by golly, so can I! (Any race teams need a fill-in driver?) But I promise that between acting and race car driving, I will always have time to help you with your local real estate needs. Have a beautiful weekend, and why is the second hand on this “Rolex” ticking?

One of my catchphrases that I end many of my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoRElJlEz2Ya7OYhz6shthA?sub_confirmation=1">YouTube videos</a> with is, “I’m not a movie star…I’m a Realtor!”
, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I wouldn’t be open to Hollywood fame. You see, there is a somewhat recognizable actor who will be filming in Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach over the next few weeks, and I just want to let the producers, and other powers that be, know that I am available to replace said actor should the need arise. Of course, I am much taller and much younger than this actor, which could actually be seen as an upgrade, but I’d do it for half the price, no questions asked. Now, this actor is said to be filming scenes for an upcoming movie at the Daytona International Speedway, at a local surf shop in Daytona Beach Shores, and at a frozen-in-time, drive-in diner in New Smyrna Beach. Of course, you may now be wondering who this actor is, and trying to picture if I can fill his shoes on the silver screen. His name is Brad Pitt, and I’ll be honest, when I look at a photo of him, I have to remind myself that I’m not looking in a mirror. Joking aside, it is very cool to have our Central Florida coast play such a prominent role in an upcoming blockbuster film! Have a great weekend, contact me if you need me, and if you’re out and about over the next few weeks, you may just catch a glimpse of my doppelgänger.

Over the holidays I traveled a bit and spent extra time with family and friends, and while it was a fantastic break, I feel like my conversations were haunted by mentions of a wholesale retailer. When I inquired about a nice pair of boots a friend was wearing in the snow, I was told they got them at Costco. And when my cousin pulled out a seemingly 500-pack of AA batteries at Christmas, he found those at Costco. Someone brought a fantastic hors d'oeuvre to New Year’s Eve, and while it was not homemade, it was, in fact, from Costco.
So as Daytona Beach is set to welcome the first Costco in Volusia County, this recent correspondence regarding all that a big-box store has to offer, reminds me of how I often describe our World Famous coast. So if you’re in search of oceanfront, riverfront, golf, pickleball, tennis, sunny winters, acreage, swimming pools, boating, award-winning schools, public parks, racing, baseball, pet-friendly, affordable homes and condos, a convenient location, AND A COSTCO, then the Daytona Beach area is perfect for you. Let me know how I can help with your real estate goals in 2024, and I'll see you at the Costco grand opening on February 22nd.2024-01-25T13:45:00-07:002024-02-08T14:01:46-07:00Kevin Klingtag:386realestate.com,2012-09-20:37709Florida Top For Real Estate Development<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/1825/image/florida%20real%20estate%20development.jpg" width="525" height="350" alt="florida real estate development" title="florida top for real estate development" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
If you live in Florida, then you don't need U.S. Census data to tell you that our major cities have seen rapid real estate development over the last several years. But a recent study posted to the Florida Realtors website found that Florida actually had three cities in the top 20 nationwide for volume of real estate construction since 2013. What’s even less surprising is that this top volume is found through Central and North Florida; in Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Other national cities that made this list include New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Chicago. But let’s take a closer look at Florida:
Most Active Real Estate Development in Florida from 2013 to 2022
Jacksonville
Orlando
Tampa
Miami
St. Petersburg
The Daytona Beach area also has seen a large increase in real estate development over this time with the addition of huge residential neighborhoods such as <a href="https://www.386realestate.com/daytona-beach/latitude-margaritaville/">Latitude Margaritaville</a> as well as condo buildings like the <a href="https://www.386realestate.com/daytona-beach-shores/aruba-condos/">Aruba</a> in Daytona Beach Shores. This study also found that self-storage development is among the most active in the real estate industry. Great, just what we need - more storage facilities!

Our bronze medal for blue-hair retirement spots was earned through a high rating for health care quality and, especially, housing affordability. In fact, the <a href="https://www.386realestate.com/daytona-beach/daytona-beach-condos/">Daytona Beach</a> area housing affordability statistic outperformed the top two retiree hotspots of Sarasota and Naples by a large margin. Of course, our Central Florida coast, from <a href="https://www.386realestate.com/ormond-beach/ormond-beach-condos/">Ormond Beach</a> to <a href="https://www.386realestate.com/new-smyrna-beach/">New Smyrna Beach</a>, offers an array of condo, townhome, and house options with beach, river and <a href="https://www.386realestate.com/golf-lifestyle/">golf</a> for retirees seeking a little bit of everything.

Planning For Retirement? Let Us Know Your Details Below:2021-10-29T08:48:00-07:002024-02-28T12:23:09-07:00Kevin Klingtag:386realestate.com,2012-09-20:11291Florida Reverse Mortgages: Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?<img style="display: block; float: right; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: 15px; width: 475px;" src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/1825/image/reverse-mortgage-pros-cons.jpg" alt="What to Know About Getting a Reverse Mortgage" width="475" />A reverse mortgage was originally intended to help retirees live comfortably during their retirement years. This type of mortgage was intended for individuals over the age of 60. Now, these reverse mortgages are being used for another reason: to help stop the foreclosure process. No matter your reasons for pursuing a reverse mortgage, here are some considerations about reverse mortgages to consider before initiating the process.
For informational purposes only. Always consult with a licensed mortgage or home loan professional before proceeding with any real estate transaction.
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a way for Florida homeowners to <a href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-reverse-mortgage-en-224/">take out a loan</a> using their home as collateral. The individual continues to live in the home and does not have to make mortgage payments. The mortgage is paid back once the person moves out of the home and sells it. The homeowner must maintain the home and all yearly taxes paid for by the homeowner.
It can be a way to <a href="https://www.lendingtree.com/home/reverse-mortgage/much-equity-need-reverse-mortgage/" target="_blank">use your home's equity</a> to improve your current standard of living financially. The loan grows over time as interest and fees are added every month. For Florida homeowners running short on cash each month to meet obligations, a reverse mortgage can allow the homeowner to access the equity without moving. You remain in the home indefinitely, as long as the home is your primary residence.
Who Qualifies for a Reverse Mortgage?
There are several qualifications that you must meet to secure a reverse mortgage. The homeowner must be 62 years old or older, and the home must be the homeowner's primary residence. The home should not have a mortgage on it or a mortgage low enough to pay off with some reverse mortgage proceeds.
The home must be in decent shape, and the homeowner will need to set aside money from the reverse mortgage for repairs. Counseling is mandatory before a reverse mortgage is approved to ensure the homeowner understands the contract they are getting into. Federal debt, such as income taxes and student loans, must be paid for out of the reverse mortgage, or it won't be approved.
Pros & Cons of Getting a Reverse Mortgage
Are you considering a reverse mortgage? A few things to consider and review have been listed below:
Advantages of Getting a Reverse Mortgage
There are several pros and cons to consider when getting a reverse mortgage on your existing home. If you are struggling every month with finances in your retirement, the stress relief from securing a reverse mortgage can make a big difference in your life. When you get a reverse mortgage in Florida, you don't have to worry about moving from your home. You don't have to sell the property to reap the benefits of building up equity in your home over the years. Even if the loan balance of your reverse mortgage goes above the fair market value of your home, you don't have to worry about it.
Disadvantages of Getting a Reverse Mortgage
On the negative side, getting a reverse mortgage requires paying certain closing costs to secure the loan. As you are taking out a loan against your home's value, this will reduce any inheritance you plan to leave to your heirs. If you don't keep up with taxes on your property, the home can still be foreclosed upon. To decide whether to secure a reverse mortgage, consider the fees for closing costs and how long you expect to remain in your home. The longer you plan to live in your home, the more beneficial it is to get a reverse mortgage.
A few other considerations are highlighted below:
Reverse Mortgages have high fees that can go up to 7% of the loan amount. Fees may exceed $15,000.
The fees are high enough for some lenders to talk you into the loan if it is not completely necessary.
A reverse mortgage can make it very difficult to leave the property to your loved ones.
A reverse mortgage allows you to tap into the value of your home without having to leave or sell it. Your heirs will have options when it comes time to manage your estate. Heirs have the opportunity to pay off the reverse mortgage and then sell the property outright. When you are struggling financially consistently, tapping into your home's value makes sense. You will need to meet the criteria, which may entail paying off some debt to secure the mortgage.
Remember that there are closing costs associated with the loan, and you will not have to make loan payments each month. It is a viable option for people who qualify for a reverse mortgage and do not want to stress about money every month.
Choosing the right mortgage that meets your needs is not an easy process. Always seek a financial professional's advice when determining what type of loan is right for your situation.

There were 371 closed sales on Daytona Beach homes in October, a decrease of only nine properties over 2014. However, under this same comparison, both average sale price and average list-to-sell price increased. Home sales averaged more than $200,000 for the 6th month of 2015 which points to stable, yet marginally increasing property values in our area. Along with the increasing list-to-sell average, the median days on market was also at it’s lowest for 2015 in October which signals the competitive nature of the current Daytona Beach real estate market. While the number of sales between $100,000 and $200,000 decreased slightly, the number of sales $300,000 and above increased significantly. Also the number of short sales and foreclosures across Daytona Beach decreased more than 20% from last year.
