north georgia mountains: Not a Shoe or a Moccasin - 03/02/14 09:40 PM
Lady's Slipper One of the most popular and attractive of all orchids  Lady's Slipper is a flowering plant that grows wild in the North Georgia Mountains and other parts of the country. Also, known as the mocassin flower because of its similarity to a shoe or moccasin. (I don't see it, but that's what "they" say). It is actually considered endangered in Illinois and Tennesse and even illegal in some areas to remove pink Lady's Slippers. Most will not survive if removed from its
natural habitat. Lady's Slippers grow in shady forests under pine trees, oaks, Red Maple, and Sweetgum and are a … (2 comments)

north georgia mountains: Undiscovered Stars in Blue Ridge Georgia - 06/21/13 01:54 AM

Undiscovered Stars
 
I love to run across local people in the Blue Ridge area of the North Georgia mountains and discover their unique gifts and talents.  I think it's so important to promote local businesses, where you can find "gems" almost anywhere you go.  These wonderful, undiscovered stars are not looking for attention, and are usually a little embarrassed when the focus is on them.  I think I caught Alta off guard...
The other day, on the spur of the moment, I decided to have lunch at the local Pizza Hut on East Main Street in Blue Ridge. The … (0 comments)

north georgia mountains: Why Now is the Time to Buy in the North Georgia Mountains - 4Q 2011 - 10/11/11 06:55 AM

 
The North Georgia real estate market (speaking specifically to the Blue Ridge area) consisting of Fannin, Gilmer, Pickens, Union and Towns counties has navigated rough and even unchartered waters for the last four years.  Factors such as being primarily a secondary home market with a high percentage of vacation homes, uncertainty in the economy and a high unemployment rate compared to the state average contributed to holding down sales.  All factors caused secondary homebuyers to take a much harder look before purchasing additional housing.
In contrast, exceptionally low interest rates, high inventory and in many cases, some very good … (1 comments)

North Georgia Cabins and Land for Sale, Foreclosures, Short Sales, Resales, Buyer Representation
 
 
Buying a foreclosed property is the best deal.    True or False ?
 
The general perception among the consumer looking to buy real estate thinks so.  But is it really the best deal? The answer is sometimes true, sometimes false and usually more often than not, the answer is false.  
The main thing for a consumer to remember is don't lose your common sense real estate logic by focusing only on price. Financial problems of a previous owner is not always the reason for the … (4 comments)

North Georgia Real Estate, Blue Ridge Mountains, Move 2 North Georgia, Homeownership, Housing
 
Appreciation --->  Equity --->  Advantages of Homeownership Leveraging Your Money to Build Wealth Let's say you purchase a residential home for $150,000 with a 10% down payment.  You might even be able to get FHA financing which requires 3.5% down, VA loan requires 0% down and USDA 100% loan requires 0% down.  But let's take an example that requires at least 10% of the purchase price as a down payment.  You would put down $15,000 to purchase a property worth 10 times the amount of the down payment! … (0 comments)

I am an Associate Broker and real estate is my passion and my livelihood.  So perhaps, some will think I'm prejudice or seeing the condition of the housing market through rose colored glasses.  But it would not serve me well or benefit anyone reading this post, if I paint a rosier picture than what the real data shows.

After last week's huge snow and unseasonably cold temperatures, North Georgia is
Thawing Out! Many parts of North Georgia, (particularly Ellijay, Blue Ridge and Blairsville) temps were above freezing only three times since New Year's.  This week's warm up breaks a string of nights that were in the low teens or even single digit, as low as 3 degrees.  Even I have to admit, that's just too darn cold !
This is the fifth snow by my calculation, at least for the Blue Ridge area so far … (5 comments)
