HOMES WITH DOCKS - Part II

Here are some properties with docks 

north of Ponce Inlet!

One of my favorite finds is the mid-century marvel discovered in Ponce Inlet about a mile from the inlet jetty. With a design reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, this 2 BR/ 2BA home is a study of wood, glass, and stone. Click here for listings!

The seller is a yacht builder and hand crafted some of the woodwork in the home, including the ebony inlay of the kitchen island. He also added a cute loft over the kitchen. 

 

The dock is sometimes home to a 40’ sailing boat. This delightful home is for people who can appreciate excellent craftsmanship! At $699,000, this is a great buy! 

 Condos with Boat Docks!

If you don’t want the upkeep of a single family home, a condo at Harbour Village - the large community of condominium homes in the north part of Ponce Inlet, will fit the bill! There are condo buildings situated close to the golf course called Links Village, but I am excited about Riverwalk Village and Harbour Village, which are in closer proximity to the water and the marina. 

The private marina can only be used by residents, and is just about two miles from the Ponce Inlet jetty. There is a maintenance fee for slip owners, but at just under $2,000 annually, it is a great deal compared to yacht clubs with memberships starting at $1000, not including rental for a boat slip!

If you and your significant other like to come to the coast from Central Florida for weekends, a pretty 1 BR 1 ½ BA home in Riverwalk Village, including its own slip, could be perfect for you! There is an initial outlay of $269,000 and combined monthly maintenance fees of $621. Crown molding and gorgeous, uninterrupted views over the marsh and intracostal waterway combine to make this a really special property! 

Bringing your whole crew? Then you’ll want one of the luxurious 3 BR/ 3BA homes in Harbour Village boasting 2138 sq. ft. of living area and overlooking the marina! There is a second floor unit which can be purchased with a boat dock.  The dock is over 50 feet long AND has a lift for a smaller craft. How much for all of this boating wonderfulness? With an initial outlay of $683,900 and $536 combined monthly maintenance fees, this home and dock can be YOURS!

Who do you know who needs my help buying one of these properties?

Janet, How's The Market?

"Janet, how’s the market in Daytona Beach Shores?"

Happy 2015! It’s time to look back and see how real estate performed in Daytona Beach Shores over the past 12 months.

When we last checked Annual Market Statistics for  2013-2014, we saw very positive growth as the market began to “come back”. Let me show you:

In the twelve month period of 2012, a total of 362 homes sold and the Days on Market averaged 160 days. An average 2 bedroom (BR) condominium home in Daytona Beach Shores sold for $154,412, while 3 BR homes sold for $304,820. 

In the same period of 2013 we saw 377 homes sold with an average Days on Market steady at 159 days. The average sales price for a 2 BR was up 9% ($14,505) and 3 BR were up 7% ($21,639). 

For 2014 things were still positive, but prices moderated. Between January 1, 2014 and 2015 we saw slower growth, but quicker sales. The average Days on Market were down to just 132 days, or a difference of one month! A total of 349 homes sold as supply went down. The average sales price for a 2 BR was $175,000 up only 3.6% from the previous year. The average sales price for a 3 BR was $326,639 up 7%.

For those of us who live in the area, we know that several older buildings like Oceans West, Oceans Two and Oceans Three were undergoing extensive concrete restorations and renovations. These buildings account for a significant amount of 2 BR condominium inventory. Now that renovations are in their final stages, it will be interesting to see how prices change in our part of the Daytona Beach Area for 2015!
