The Daytona Beach area condo market is heating up, just ask any Realtor. Of course many local real estate agents are going to speak of an improving market in hopes of getting your listing, but few are putting in the work to provide statistical evidence of such. One of the first signs of this positive progress is the lack of quality condo listings currently on the market. In fact, the number of newly listed condos has plummeted 53% since 2006, while the number of quality condos ($200,000 list price and above) comprises just 45% of newly listed condos in 2012, down from 80% in 2006. As you can see below, the decrease in condos being offered, especially those of quality, is staggering.

According to a recent report from the National Association of Realtors, existing ­homes are nearing highs in sales that have not been reached since 2007. Preliminary numbers show that existing­ home sales last year, which totaled nearly 5 million units, were up 9.2 percent from 2011 alone. In fact, the existing­ home inventory is now at 1.8 million units, the lowest availability since May 2005, a peak of the housing boom.

What does this mean for you?

Well, for sellers, this means a more aggressive market for your home, possibly yielding higher sale prices and faster closings. Of course a great deal of the final­ sale pricing of your home comes down to utilizing a vast knowledge of proper marketing and negotiating strategies to get the best price for

Great news for primary Daytona Beach area homeowners seeking a short sale in 2013 as the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act has been extended by Congress. The extension means primary homeowners will still be excused from paying taxes on forgiven mortgage debt through 2013. The law, established in 2007, was set to expire Dec. 31. Since the MFDRA was established, countless homeowners have received tax relief from the debt forgiven at completion of a short sale. Short sales continue to derive over 20% of residential sales during recent quarters. This extension is big news for primary homeowners burdened by unmanageable mortgages. Without an extension, homeowners who completed short sales or mortgage modifications may have faced tax bills in the tens of

Buying activity still going very strong. Most recently over the past couple of weeks Kevin has sold condo units located at Ocean Vistas #302, Marbella #203, Oceans Six #1704, and Oceans Six #1206.

Ocean Vistas #302 was the last ocean view developer unit available at the Ocean Vistas. This Monterey 4 bedroom option floor plan is really an incredible floor plan. Having the option for  a 4th bedroom in a luxury condo for less than 500k is very impressive.
