The state of Florida is known for its large mansions, sprawling estates and luxury real estate. While Florida home prices have been slashed due to the number of foreclosures, short sales and bank owned homes that have sold. These types of distressed sales are impacting our local market. Savvy investors and homebuyers are still searching and buying luxury real estate throughout the state of Florida.
In our neck of the woods, Daytona Beach luxury real estate is quite affordable compared to other parts of Florida. Being a Florida resident almost all of my life, I do believe that Daytona Beach luxury homes are affordable compared to other exclusive neighborhoods in the state of Florida. But the question is, are these luxury homes really that affordable and is it easy to qualify for a mortgage? It's an interesting to see who can afford these homes and I wonder how they feel about Daytona's prices. Would they consider our luxury market affordable compared to other areas of Florida?
There have been numerous housing reports on luxury market trends, according to Laurie Moore-Moore, founder of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, "The number of wealthy household in the United States and world-wide is almost back to where it was before the downturn. Add the fact that many high net worth individuals are reassessing their investments and rethinking how and where to invest. High-end U.S. residential real estate is attracting many of these dollars, Euros and Rubles. This bodes well for the luxury home market in the short term. Luxury may well be the real estate segment that leads to recovery."
Reports on luxury real estate prices in Florida vary as real estate in general is local. Luxury real estate in Florida is no different and each piece of property's pricing varies due to size, location and exclusivity. South Florida is one of my favorite luxury markets and I wonder how it has been impacted. According to a recent article on Palm Beach Premier Real Estate, "the Palm Beach luxury market is still in limbo." Interesting, its just another reminder to get the facts from a professional real estate agent who specializes in luxury homes and understands market conditions and trends. I wonder if the luxury market is impacted nation-wide?
How is your luxury market doing and do you think this sector of real estate has bottomed out in your area and is it deeply impacted by say, distressed properties and the average price homes selling?
When I think about the children in our county as well as across the globe who suffer from poverty and at no choice of their own. It hurts me..it makes me sad. Let's face it, every child counts regardless of race, religion and income. Some of the most prosperous contributing adults I know today come from a background of poverty. It surely doesn't have to be that way!
If you do not know much about poverty, its hard work. For the parents who work hard to try and keep food on the table and for the children who are made to feel as if they are nothing due to circumstances beyond their control! Please do what you can and extend your hand in helping others to become a productive part of society.

Brandon is the son of a local real estate agent, Keith Kiel! Please feel free to reblog, repost or say thank you to Brandon...I am no fan to war whatsoever...but I love my freedom and feel protected and privelidged to live in the U.S. W e appreciate your service, we appreciate your beautiful music...we appreciate you!
I'm a little upset with the city of Daytona Beach and local government...it kills me we live in one of the most beautiful places on the East Coast with some of the friendliest and hard working people. There are thousands in our city several times a year due to our tourism. They visit, they spend their money..we are priviledged to have this opportunity.
The sad part is condo's are vacant and so are many houses. People struggle to pay their bills and there is the homeless and cut backs and clearly you can see it. Tourist come to our city and are so kind to visit and spend their hard earned money but once they get here the appeal is not so strong.
Sometimes when I drive in Daytona Beach I feel like I am back in time. There are homes built in the early 1900's scattered throughout and may parts of Daytona still untouched and gorgeous and sometimes I forget there is still small town thinking by keeping Daytona the same as it always has been. Nothing stops the economy like small town thinking.
There are so many things I do not know about Daytona Beach, city ordinances, zoning and politics, heck I didn't know that it's illegal riding your bike on the sidewalk either until I ended up in a courtroom.
You heard right, there are no tattoo parlors in Daytona Beach, home to bikeweek and biketoberfest. I did not know this until a few months ago and to me this is the biggest mistake, dumbest thing I have ever heard, well maybe not.... because in Daytona Beach they recently ammended this city ordinance that has been in effect for the past 20 years...you ready...you can't get a palm reading either.
Now I know the reasoning behind this but truly the way I see it, it stunts Daytona Beaches growth. It's not so much about the tattoo's its the small town thinking or better yet not being commerce friendly. WE NEED MORE COMMERCE TO THRIVE and Daytona Beach has had opportunity upon opportunity to grow business-wise. Instead we continually opt to rely on tourism as the main source of revenue!
"Criswald said the ordinance was passed by city leaders almost 20 years ago who thought tattooing within city limits was detrimental to the city. According to Criswald, the tattoo ordinance was recently amended in 2000 to include palm readings." a quote from the Daytona News Journal.
Everyday I see some business shutting down or another gas station close. Haven't checked the unemployment rate...I'm so over the doom and gloom. It's sad because I love Daytona Beach and our fair city offers such beauty, a peacefulness and lots of fun!
It's got to get better than this but it will never improve unless the new Daytona emerges. I could care less about the new campaign...I'm talking new thinking..new business..making Daytona Beach a self sustained city because right now..it's not.
I truly hope with the campaign, The New Daytona.that its truly more than a campaign...but not just new business and commerce emerge but new government thinking. Daytona Beach residents are counting on it!
While most people post the good about their city and will probably be really surprised this came out of my mouth...I'm not hear to win a popularity contest...I think something needs to be done..my point is my city could be better...and I want this article found and read...not just by consumers but city officials.
