cumming realtor: Remax real estate report - 07/26/11 05:26 PM
Today, Case Shiller, who tracks real estate activity accross the USA, reported a second consecutive month of increase in prices for the 10- and 20-City Composites. I believe the Atlanta market will improve as the US market improves so I am glad to see this. For the Atlanta market to improve the #1 issue at this time is jobs - and getting the state and Atlanta's unemployment rate down. Once that happens consumer confidence will rise and people will buy homes.
That said, I am seeing pretty strong sales activity compared to last year right now. Yesterday I tried to set up … (0 comments)

cumming realtor: Remax Real Estate Update - Cumming Ga - 05/05/11 04:01 PM
As I look at the March stats a couple of items jump out at me about this market:
1. In Cumming Ga (Primarily Forsyth County) the Number of Detached Homes Sold in 2011 was 27% more than in March 2010 - this follows a 23% increase in February 2011 compared to 2010. 37% of the March 2011 closes were either Foreclosures, Short sales or distressed in some manner.
2. The inventory at the end of March 2011 was down 13% compared to March of 2010. Real Estate is just supply and demand and as the supply of homes goes down if we get … (0 comments)

cumming realtor: Atlanta real estate market - thoughts for North Atlanta Real Estate - 03/04/11 03:47 PM
On 2/27/11 the Wall Street journal posted and article calle "Why 2011 May Be the End of the Housing Crash". Simon Constable wrote the article and explained how rising affordability of housing will be a key to a turnaround. Here are some quotes I really liked from the article: "Housing is the most affordable it has been in decades". "Pricing is down so much in some markets that when you analyze renting versus owning it makes much more sense to own". "Home prices may be approaching their post-crash bottom" "Another sign the market is nearing a bottom: Investors have started to … (0 comments)

cumming realtor: The Re/Max Real Estate Market update for Cumming Ga - 02/21/11 05:11 PM
Over the last 4 years homes sold in January all all of Forsyth County Ga were as follows:
2008 -109 2009- 85 2010-101 2011 -106
As I look at 2011 for some reason I am fairly optomistic - from looking at the number of homes sold it looks like 2009 was the bottom. What I am finding now is there is not a lot of good inventory to show buyers. I have a buyer that is trying to buy a home around $400K and they have looked at everything but it seems like most of the homes on the market are … (0 comments)

cumming realtor: Big Creek Greenway, Trails in Cumming, Forsyth County - 03/28/10 09:10 AM
The Big Creek Greenway in Cumming (Forsyth County) is a wonderful experience - I am amazed to see so many people here on busy days. The Greenway is about 10 to 12-foot wide path made up of boardwalks, earth and concrete that meandering through the trees and along the Big Creek. The Big Creek does flood with heavy rain so watch the weather. The trail is great for walking, jogging, hiking biking and inline skating. The trail is about 6.8 miles and starts at Bethelview road and goes to McFarland Parkway. Future phases are still being designed.
I access the trail … (0 comments)

cumming realtor: Atlanta Real Estate market - 04/28/09 01:15 PM
Builder magazine published an article where they interview 5 so called housing "authorities" and asked them which markets they felt would recover the fastest. I am glad to hear that James Diffley, the Group Managing Director at IHS Global Insight, named Atlanta as one of the top 5 markets to recover first. His top 5 markets to recover first are:
Washington, D.C. Atlanta, GA San Antonio, Texas Raleigh, NC Minneapolis, Minn He feels the strong economy and the low cost of housing in Atlanta will be the major cause as well as he feels the long term outlook for the economic factors for Atlanta are favorable. Right now I … (0 comments)

cumming realtor: Under Contract in Alpharetta - Pricing the home is very important - 01/29/08 03:12 PM
Homes are selling in the Atlanta market - there is not doubt about that. If you have a home to sell I will give you the secrete to selling in just a moment.
This past weekend I represented a Buyer and we put a home under contract in Alpharetta. The Seller originally listed the Home at $275K and had it on the market since June 2007. It went under contract at $252K. It took this Seller almost 9 months to understand that a home needs to be perfect in all phases to sell. It should be staged, in excellent condition and priced right. … (1 comments)
