neighborhoods: Madison Ridge, Jasper Georgia: Quiet Subdivision in Picturesque Country Setting - 09/26/10 02:07 PM
Tucked away in the hills, just a short drive from Highway 515 down a scenic country road, the neighborhood of Madison Ridge has established itself as a popular little neighborhood of nice, newer homes in Jasper, Georgia.
Originally platted for approximately 88 homes on acre-plus lots, only thirteen homes were actually built before the downturn in the local real estate market hit. All 13 houses were subsequently foreclosed on by lenders holding the various construction loans, and all 13 foreclosure homes have since resold to either private buyers or investors.
Due to most of the bank-owned homes being unfinished at the time of sale by … (2 comments)

neighborhoods: Jasper GA Top Selling Neighborhoods: July 08 - July 09 - 08/08/09 04:22 PM
Out of curiosity I pulled the numbers on home sales in Pickens County GA by neighborhood for the past year, to get a rough idea of which subdivisions, besides Bent Tree and Big Canoe, had seen the most activity for the time period. Bent Tree and Big Canoe were excluded as the two largest neighborhoods in the county, and therefore likely to always hold the top slots. Combined the two account for around 44% of all current listing inventory, and approximately 26% of all home sales / pending sales over the past 12-months. So, outside of Big Canoe and Bent Tree, here is how … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Black Knob Falls Subdivision: Homes For Sale with West End Convenience, Ranger Georgia. - 07/27/09 10:52 PM
For newer homes on the west end of Pickens County GA, Black Knob Falls is a neighborhood similar in size, style and price point to comparable communities like Bethany Moorings and Saddle Ridge, but closer to Ranger and Fairmount than these developments in South Pickens.There have been few recent home sales in Black Knob Falls to provide up to date home sale price averages, but for the past couple of years, the average has been around $150,000. By contrast, the average list for the three homes currently on the market is only $147,600 (in a broad range from $130,000 to $179,900). Some foreclosure and short sale … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Saddle Ridge, Jasper GA: Homes for Sale at Great Prices in Convenient South Pickens Location - 07/26/09 09:37 PM
Jasper Georgia's Saddle Ridge subdivision, conveniently located in South Pickens County, offers some great buying opportunities on available houses for sale. Average home sale price continue to drop year-on-year, making for some great buying opportunities in this newer neighborhood.Saddle Ridge is a smallish community of 50+ lots with an assortment of affordable homes in the under $200,000 price range. In fact, market conditions have gradually pushed average sale prices from an average of around $170K two years ago (9 sales), to this past year's average of only $146,000 (3 sales). Much of this pricing pressure can be attributed to distress sales in the form … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: The Oaks at Yellow Creek, Ball Ground / MarbleHill GA: Estate Size Lots and Quality Homes in Southeast Pickens County GA - 07/11/09 07:43 PM
The Oaks at Yellow Creek is one of several neighborhoods in Pickens County to have suffered the effects of the real estate slow down, with slow home and lot sales over the past couple years, despite a good location in southeast Pickens county GA. Development has been relatively slow, with only nine homes completed in the neighborhood, several of which have already fallen victim to bank repossession through foreclosure actions. Close to Big Canoe in the Marblehill areaand less than a mile from the Cherokee County line, The Oaks at Yellow Creek affords convenient access to Cumming, Ball Ground, and Dawsonville, at a reasonable price point. With only … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: 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)

neighborhoods: 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)

neighborhoods: Salacoa Highlands, Jasper GA: Quaint Pickens County Community with Private Lake, Mountain Views, and More . . . - 03/09/09 06:47 AM
The often overlooked neighborhood of Salacoa Highlands in southern Pickens County GA, is an eclectic neighborhood likely to appeal to a wide variety of North Georgia buyers of homes and land.Situated on several hundred wooded acres in the Henderson Mountain area, Salacoa Highlands is a long-standing community which blends a mix of the old and the new, the simple and the more elaborate. Homes range from log cabins and small mountain weekend getaways, to large permanent homes with concrete siding, granite counters, hardwood floors, and other popular contemporary features. Many of these houses were built within the last 10-years, but some homes that date back 20-years or more as well.Lot … (2 comments)

neighborhoods: Sassafras Mountain / Monument Falls in Jasper GA: Incredible Views on Estate-Size Lots - 09/28/08 04:28 PM
Two neighborhoods located in Pickens County, GA, offer truly breathtaking views at 3,000+ foot elevations, not to mention the natural beauty of numerous springs, creeks and waterfalls, which form and flow from these mountain heights, yet they are little known and seldom talked about. Since both are located along Monument Road in the Mount Oglethorpe area (each taking up opposite sides of the road), and share many similarities, I thought I would combine both as one post rather than dividing them out.Sassafras Mountain Estates lies on the eastern side of Monument Road, facing a series of rolling hills and valleys to the east that catch glorious morning … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Dogwood Trace, Pickens Georgia: Home Listings and Sales Data for 2007 - 03/12/08 11:59 PM
Jasper Georgia's, Dogwood Trace neighborhood is a new subdivision and therefore has little historical data to analyze for past performance or future trends, however, the couple of homes that sold last year show a promising start for this new development . . . as do the additional two sales that are pending.
Going against a sizable inventory of similarly priced homes and strong competition from other comparable neighborhoods with new homes for sale(most notably, Jordan's Crossing, Wild Timber, Madison Ridge, and Grandview Cove), the short time on market and full sales price of these houses suggests appeal to a certain segment of the market.
With the two … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Dogwood Trace, Jasper Georgia: $300K+ New Homes on Private Wooded Lots - 03/12/08 11:25 PM
Dogwood Trace in Jasper Georgia is one of several subdivisions offering new homes in the $300,000+ price range (sales data). A pleasant wooded setting on acre-plus lots, and a convenient South Pickens County location, just off Highway 108 (Waleska Hwy) and close to Hwy 515, makes Dogwood Trace a suitable option for buyers in both Pickens and Cherokee County: less than ten miles to Jasper, eighteen to canton, and approximately seven to Waleska.
Homes for sale in Dogwood Trace were built in at least 2007 or later, based on one of six basic floorplans (at least for now). Home styles are similar to those seen in many homes within this price range of home -- … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Bethany Moorings, Jasper Georgia: Home Listings and Sales Data for 2007 - 02/24/08 02:58 PM
Jasper Georgia's, Bethany Moorings neighborhood, has shown strong sales numbers since construction on new homes began in 2004. Last year (2007) saw a notable decline in sales from the previous years (25 sales in 2005, 40 in 2006, to just 13 in 2007), but I believe partof this attributable to fewer houses being available for sale after the strong run in prior years. The other part of course was just a slower real estate market overall throughout Pickens County. Average number of days on market has likewise increased on an annual basis.
Despite the reduced sales, a bright spot is that average home sale price in … (0 comments)

Conveniently located in South Pickens County GA (approximately 7-8 miles from Jasper / shopping), just off Highway 108 / Waleska Hwy, and not far from the Cherokee County line, Bethany Moorings provides a good selection for buyers looking for affordable new or newer homes north of Atlanta.

neighborhoods: Arbor Hills, Jasper Georgia: Home Sale Data for 2007 - 02/17/08 11:05 AM
Jasper Georgia's, Arbor Hills neighborhood, which has been around since 1999, actually saw an increase in home sales last year over the prior two years -- moving against the general Pickens County home sales trend. Last year's 12 homes sold is a 50% improvement over 2006 (8), and a 20% improvement over 2005 (10), however there was very slight price softening over prior years (approximately 1%).
The 14 active listings of homes for sale in Arbor Hills as of this writing presents slightly better inventory numbers than the rest of the county, although still not what would be considered "optimal' for a balanced market. The … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Arbor Hills, Jasper Georgia: Swim / Tennis Pickens County Neighborhood for Under $200K - 02/17/08 10:47 AM
Arbor Hills in Jasper Georgia is one of Pickens County's few neighborhoods to offer swim and tennis as amenities . . . particularly with an entry point under $200,000 for new or "newer" homes. Just two miles from Jasper off Lumber Company Road -- and easily accessible from Highway 515 -- Arbor Hills provides a variety of convenient and affordable options for first-time, move-up or downsizing home buyers. Homes in Arbor Hills were built from 1999 up to the current day, with new construction still under way, mostly as spec homes. A majority of the houses have full or partial basements, although there a number built on a slab or with a crawlspace. Floorplans and styles are fairly standard for spec … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Wild Timber, Jasper Georgia: Home Sale Data for 2007 - 02/03/08 07:55 PM
Jasper Georgia's, Wild Timber neighborhood has experienced fairly strong home sales over the past year. Although not quite as high as the sales numbers for it's lead "competitor", Jordan's Crossing, for Wild Timber to be a new neighborhood at a higher average sale price, to have only one less home sale (with thirteen) is in my opinion pretty good.
Having no prior year sales records with which to compare, only time will tell how well these numbers will continue to hold under current market conditions in Pickens County, GA, but for right now inventory is quite manageable at a little over a year's worth of new homes for sale in … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Wild Timber, Jasper Georgia: Pickens County's Strong Selling New Community, Close to Cherokee - 02/03/08 05:51 PM
Wild Timber subdivision in Jasper Georgia is one of Pickens County's newer neighborhoods -- a community of 55 or so acre-plus homesites, south of town, close to the city of Tate, GA. All homes for sale in Wild Timber are new construction, built in 2007 or later, with home prices starting in the low $300's;
Developed by THW Development, LLC, Wild Timber's initial building lots are mostly divided among a handful of builders for spec homes or held on to by the developer, rather than listed and sold to the general public for custom home building. Despite the variety of builders however, styles generally follow the same popular multi-gabled, ranch / traditional look found in most … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Hunters Ridge, Jasper Georgia: Home Listing and Sales Data for 2007 - 02/01/08 02:53 PM
Hunter's Ridge in Jasper, Georgia, has shown relative strength in home sales in the past year, particularly when compared to many other neighborhoods that have faced abrupt declines. This fact is particularly surprising in that the average sale price in Hunters Ridge of $320,000 is a price point facinga lot of competition and high inventory levels in Pickens County (due in part to the recent influx of new home subdivisions targeting the $300,000+ bracket).
While the number of homes sold dipped to seven (from eight the previous year), this was an improvement over the only six houses that sold in 2005. The average list … (0 comments)

neighborhoods: Hunters Ridge, Jasper GA: One of Pickens County Georgia's Most Established Neighborhoods. - 02/01/08 02:07 PM
Hunter's Ridge in Pickens County, Georgia, just north of of the city of Jasper, is one of the older and more "established" definable Pickens County subdivisions, dating back more than 25-years, and still growing.
Built on a ridgeline just north of town, Hunters Ridge affords pleasant views to both sides of the ridge, and is close enough to town to be convenient -- approximately three-miles -- without being subject to crowding and congestion. Currently there are over two-hundred homesites platted, with lot sizes ranging in size from less than an acre to more than three-acres, and home prices that range from the low $200's to the mid $400's, with an average sale … (0 comments)
