In the Metro Atlanta Area the economic stimulus of the $8,000 tax credit to first time homebuyers is showing signs of positively impacting the market.

4 Multiple Offer Situations in One Day - the Market is Picking Up! - 05/14/09 03:38 PM
Yesterday, I ran around Atlanta delivering certified checks, writing contracts, & gathering signatures on addendums in order to meet "Highest & Best" Deadlines in multiple-offer situations on Bank Foreclosures.

It was INSANE! 12 pm deadlines, 5 pm deadlines, 12 midnight deadlines, WOW -- the blood was pumping & buyers were nervous "Would they get it?" "Did they offer enough?" "Did they offer too much?" - Consulting, providing market analysis's, double-checking conditions & terms.

I don't need a realtor! I can get it off a website! - 05/14/09 02:55 PM

(This is what they think they're getting)... when in actuality it's more like

So you want a "steal"?  Well, you might want a realtor to give you the 4-1-1 on what's really happening before going on a bidding frenzy at one of these auctions.
 
If you wanted to buy a condo and get a "steal of a deal" -  that there are 3 buildings in the Midtown area that will be conducting auctions over the next 45 days so this might be a great time for you two to consider purchasing.  These are developments that are lowing prices 40%-60% for the auctions.  While the media would make it seem like they are … (0 comments)
