Simple Pleasures. Mushroom "Hunting" in Ormond Beach, FL It is August, and we have a daily dose of torrential rains, which help keep Florida green. But I know that if it is warm and rains, and a calendar shows that it is summer (in Florida you can get easily confuse, as warm and rainy may as well happen in January), there should be mushrooms somewhere. My son brought some mushrooms that he picked on a vacant lot in a subdivision. Olga marinated them, and boy, they were delicious. In my life in Russia picking mushrooms was my biggest passion as I did not hunt and did not fish. I would go to pick mushrooms on my own since I was 8 years old. Was lost once, but figured it out. Always felt comfortable in the woods, always had a good sense of direction and knew where to go. When we lived in N...

First Time Homebuyers Nationwide are scrambling to find a home that they can purchase in time to receive the $8000 Tax Credit. Home sellers are competing to get offers from this very active section of the market. Competitive bidding is taking place on REO/Bank Owned homes that are priced aggressively. A common strategy is to price the home slightly below market value for a quick sale. We are seeing multiple offers on these homes and quite often  they end up selling ABOVE the listing price. Asset managers are seeking the HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS, and quite often that means a cash buyer with no contingencies and a quick closing date will be selected. This can lead to 1st Timers becoming frustrated, as financing approvals can take 45 days for FHA Buyers. Many buyers are taking a second look...

John Anderson in Ormond Beach...What is in the name for us?  How often do we drive streets named after someone day after day and year after year ... and have no clue who that is? What do we tell our children if they ask us who was that person that they named the street, we live on, after? If you are in Daytona Beach, especially if you are in Ormond Beach,  you would hear this name: John Anderson. Yes, John Anderson Drive is one of the most beautiful streets with gorgeous residences along the Intracoastal. It starts from Granada Avenue (SR-40) right across from the Casements - the last home of the richest man in the world John Rockefeller,and it goes north following the curves of the river. It starts with Ormond Heritage Condominiums, which address is 1 John Anderson Drive. But who was J...

Open house on Saturday for this direct Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Home in Ormond Beach on exclusive John Anderson Dr. This home fell victim to the crisis like so many others. If asked about it 4 years ago and I would laugh at the idea of these properties going for less than the price of land. Similar lot a bit farther north was sold in September 2006 for $837K. But this is exactly what happened. This 2,877 SF direct riverfront home was listed in 2007 for $1,199,000. And on Saturday we are running an Open House hoping to get an offer in $500s. The house underwent a massive remodeling in the last 3 years. Intracoastal Waterfront with magnificent views of Tomoka Basin over protective island.Short walk to the beach. Potential and room to expand. Everything is new from Jenn-Aire Applianc...

Ormond-by-the-Sea Real Estate. Information & Market Reports by Lisa Hill, "THE SMART CHOICE!" This real estate update is for the 2009 1st quarter real estate listings and sales report for Ormond-by-the-Sea Florida. As I've done with some of the other city reports for the 1st quarter of Volusia county, in this report I'll include a short explanation of the Daytona Beach area, and the 7 cities it encompasses. Ormond-by-the-Sea is quite simply, the city on the farthest north side of Volusia County, but it's only on the beachside. Ormond-by-the-Sea is a unique city; unlike other cities in Volusia County. It's the last city before Flagler county, and it seems appropiate that it feels like it bridges that gap.  The further north you travel on A1A, the more it begins to feel like the Flagler ...
