Thanks for visiting my website!

I recently sent out an e-mail to my clients, offering to help them find their dream home here in Volusia County (including Port Orange, Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, New Smyrna Beach or even up to Flagler and Palm Coast.)

The market is hot right now and residential property in this area is proving to be a good investment choice, giving you one more reason to move here and enjoy our glorious weather 10 months out of the year! (See the end of this Newsletter for one more good reason to buy sooner, rather than later!)

Since I live in the Spruce Creek Fly-In myself I thought I would let you know about some of the activities that one can enjoy in the local area.

Golf
Florida is a golfers paradise, and you can select from dozens of beautiful fairways that surround our area and are open to the public. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has it's headquarters in Daytona, which brings world-class female golfers to our championship courses.

Boating & Fishing
Being on the Intra-Coastal Waterway (known locally as the Halifax River), and with the Ponce Inlet right here in Port Orange, boaters and fishermen have every opportunity to enjoy themselves on the water. Whether it's river or deep-sea fishing, water-skiing, sailing or just cruising the waterways with the family, you can enjoy it all here in Volusia County. For those who prefer a freshwater environment the St Johns River and various natural Florida Springs are just 20 minutes away.

Beaches and more beaches
Enjoy the beach? Then you'll love our coastline! Surfing, windsurfing, shelling, swimming and kitesurfing are just some of the activities that you can experience during a day at the beach. Selected local beaches are also some of the few in Florida that allow driving right onto the beach, making it easy to bring all the toys with you.

Racing and Bike Fans
We host the Nascar 500 racing for 2 weeks in February (with aprox. 250 000 visitors) and the Pepsi 400 in July. For Bike aficionados we offer the Bike week in March with aprox. 600 000 visitors (what a sight all those amazing, polished and beautiful machines everywhere!). Then there is the Biketoberfest, yes, you guessed it, in October. We have other car shows like the Speedway Spectacular in the spring, the Antique car Show and the Turkey Rod run in the fall.

Cape Canaveral and the
Kennedy Space Center
For aviation or Space enthusiasts you can watch a launch of the Space Shuttle or other rockets right from the beach or your own backyard, as the Kennedy Space Center is only about one hour south from us. The Canaveral National Seashore is also just a short 35 minutes away with it's vast barrier island and adjacent waterways offering 1,045 species of plants and 310 species of birds including loggerhead, green and leatherback sea turtles, West Indian Manatee, Southern bald eagle, wood stork, peregrine falcon, eastern indigo snake, and Florida scrub jay.

St Augustine
History buffs will get their fill from a regular visit to the oldest town in the USA, quaint and beautiful St. Augustine, only 45 minutes North of us.

Other Activities
Volusia County is an easy drive from Orlando with all it's shopping malls and attractions including Disneyworld, Epcot Center, MGM Studios, Universal and Seaworld to mention a few.

Local Schools & Colleges
Our area is blessed with great schools, Colleges and Universities, and the Central Florida region offers a host of high-tech learning opportunities including Embry Riddle university right here in Daytona, one of the world's most prestigious aeronautical universities.


77 Million are heading for retirement - Now is the time to buy!

Here's an astounding fact: During the next 10-15 years the number of Americans over the age of 50 will increase by 80% - that's 77 million of us baby boomers who are heading towards retirement. And Florida is one of the most sought-after destinations for retirees.

There is no doubt that although Volusia county has been under priced for many years, it is now catching up with the rest of coastal Florida at the speed of lightning. Areas South of Volusia County like Stuart, Vero Beach, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale are already being priced almost on par with California, but our Port Orange/Daytona Beach/New Smyrna Beach areas are still very affordable.

I am here to help you find the home you are planning and dreaming of, so if you're thinking of buying don't wait!

Call me today at (386) 682-9408 and allow me to help in your efforts to move to our area, or assist in locating a replacement home here.

Take care for now and all the best,
