foreclosures: Pickens County GA Foreclosures Facing Another Bad Month in September - 08/31/11 03:44 PM
The number of Pickens County, Georgia, homes, land lots, commercial properties, and other real esate, reported as being scheduled for foreclosure action and sold at auction on the courthouse steps in Jasper on the first Tuesday in September, after appearing to pull back in August, surged back up for September.
The number of properties of various types listed as facing foreclosure next month alone, here in Jasper, Big Canoe, Talking Rock and surrounding areas, climbed back up to 55, (after dropping to 38 in August), which seems like a lot for a small county like Pickens. As has been the case for the past several months, not all are home … (0 comments)

foreclosures: Eight Things to Watch for in 2011 That Could Impact the Economy: BOA, MERS, Foreclosures and More... - 01/10/11 07:46 AM
There has already been much discussion as to Bank of America's questionable business practices, and many are waiting to see if this behemoth is truly the target of the next WikiLeaks welcome divulgence (fingers crossed!). In fact, it is reported that Bank of America is buying up hundreds of domain names that might otherwise be used in negative BOA campaigns, to counteract the backlash they see as coming. Although an unlikely event, "The Demise of Bank of America" leads PRWatch.Org's list of eight developments that could significantly impact the economy in 2011.
The other 7 are:

foreclosures: Pickens County Georgia Land for Sale: Foreclosure and Short Sale Impacts Pricing - 07/16/10 05:51 PM
I wrote several months ago about the spillover effect of the weak housing market on land sales and the potential impact on pricing it may have in the future. After working with several potential land buyers in recent weeks I decided to revisit the topic, as what I have been suggesting as a possibility appears to have become very much a reality. Prices on some of the tracts under consideration are down to levels I thought we were unlikely to see again in this part of North Georgia, with some of the buying opportunities for large tracts of land quite surprising, even in light of my own expectations.A … (0 comments)

foreclosures: Madison Ridge, Jasper GA: Activity Surge -- Foreclosure Homes for Sale Being Snatched Up at Bargain Prices!! - 06/09/09 02:53 PM
Both potential buyers and local residents have commented to me on the pleasant setting and overall appeal of the fairly new Madison Ridge subdivision in Jasper GA, but expressed concerns that few homes had sold. Well, that has changed.
In the past few months, there have been four homes sold . . . with another four houses currently under contract of sale, scheduled to close within a few weeks! That is eight, out of a total of about 12 new construction homes for sale in Madison Ridge, already gone! And, most of these houses were purchased at bargain prices, ranging from $150,000 to $242,000, versus previous list prices in … (0 comments)

foreclosures: Pickens County GA Home Bargains: Where to Find Deals on New Construction Houses in and Around Jasper GA - 03/29/09 05:10 PM
In a number of my blog posts, both here on ActiveRain and my other Pickens County real estate blog, Curbview Jasper, I frequently mention that due to home foreclosures, short sales, bankruptcies and other "distress" situations, there are a number of "deals" available among the homes for sale in Jasper and the North GA area. In this post I would like to highlight some of the areas / neighborhoods in which these bargain properties can be found.To avoid violating any advertising restrictions, I can't identify specific houses, lots or tracts of land for which I don't have a listing agreement or other written permission … (0 comments)

foreclosures: North GA Home Builders in Distress: Empathy or Opportunity? - 07/26/08 09:36 PM
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe. -- Homer
There are plenty of home "deals" to be had. Foreclosures, short sales, real estate auctions, desperate sellers. And I'm out there peddling them . . . in person, by phone, email and blog. I trumpet the sound every buyer loves to hear -- bargain! And there's pride in my ability to zero in on the best deals, and then make them even sweeter. Thorough research, a little negotiation, a carefully worded agreement, and voila! . . . instant equity.And I know I'm … (12 comments)

foreclosures: Pickens County GA Foreclosures -- The Changing Landscape in Investment Real Estate - 06/17/08 08:20 AM
Foreclosures have always been viewed as a good source of real estate investments or home deals for buyers. While this may or not be true (and often isn't!), I have covered that in detail elsewhere and therefore won't argue the merits in this particular post.Instead we'll explore the changing nature of foreclosures in the North Georgia area.One of the elements of bank-owned homes that have always made them attractive to investors or bargain hunters is the possibility of instant equity. Usually this has been best achieved by finding homes which had been owned for a number of years; which had experienced some level of … (4 comments)

foreclosures: Pickens County Georgia Foreclosures: Bank-Owned Homes in Jasper Area Show Increase - 01/06/08 11:11 AM
A previous post I published on foreclosures in Jasper Georgia and surrounding parts of Pickens County (Tate, Nelson, Talking Rock, Marblehill, Ranger, etc.), argued that the foreclosure numbers for Pickens weren't any cause for alarm. I still maintain that position, but unfortunately, the statistics are looking a little less favorable . . . for home sellers anyway.
In that earlier foreclosure post (on a different pickens county real estate blog), I placed the number of bank-owned homes listed in real estate at 11 houses out of 651 on market, or 1.7%. As of this writing however, that ratio now stands at 17 out of … (0 comments)

foreclosures: Big Canoe Foreclosure Homes: Not Time for Panic (no matter what the media tells you) - 01/05/08 10:50 AM
As an upscale gated-community, Big Canoe, Georgia, might seem otherwise impervious to the problematic rash of foreclosures that is sweeping the nation. And, to an extent, this appears true. While Big Canoe routinely has foreclosure homes for sale listed in real estate, unlike its sister community, Bent Tree, the trend in Big Canoe doesn't seem to be in any way more exaggerated in the present market, over previous years. At least for now.
Recent notices of public sale on the Dawson County or Pickens County courthouse steps of Big Canoe properties, suggest we may see a slight up-tick in the near future. Of … (0 comments)

foreclosures: Bent Tree Foreclosure Homes: REO's On The Rise . . . - 01/04/08 10:36 PM
The community of Bent Tree in Jasper, Georgia, has been fortunate to escape an abundance of foreclosures on the market over the past couple of years. Tax lien sales have been a far more frequent issue (and a means of obtaining Bent Tree property for below market value) than distress sales . . . usually on building or membership lots for which owners no longer wantedto pay HOA fees and taxes. We have to go back to 2005 to find any REO listing sales. Those three however, presented quite a bargain on Bent Tree homes for some lucky buyers. Two sold at discounts from 66% to 72% off list price, while … (0 comments)

foreclosures: North Georgia Home Foreclosures: Not as bad as we've been led to believe? - 10/14/07 04:15 PM
A recent article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution highlighted something I think many have questioned . . . the accuracy of foreclosure data provided by RealtyTrac.
The AJC conducted their own study and found that RealtyTrac has been overstating the foreclosure data for Georgia (and other states as well). Aside from its impact this has in feeding the flames of consumer nervousness, there is the concern that this data is used by many banking and government agencies, and, on a more personal and professional level, ithere is the fact that I, and other real estate professionals, sometimes rely on these reports in analysis of local markets.
As someone who … (2 comments)
