Atlanta Real Estate

Great Value in Atlanta Homes!

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:48:52 -0500

Atlanta, Georgia is a very diverse city. The Atlanta real estate market has benefited greatly due to a wide array of housing options available. Everything from its people, architecture, landscapes and communities is extremely different. As you many already know, Atlanta is a land locked city with no ocean, river, or lake to act as a blockade for expansion and growth. The closest barrier the city of Atlanta feels is the Blue Ridge Mountains around 100 miles to the north.

Metro Atlanta is made up of 4 geographical areas. The Northern Metro Atlanta area, where the cities of Alpharetta, Roswell, Woodstock, and Canton are located. The Western Metro Atlanta area, which Marietta, Smyrna, Powder Springs and Douglasville all reside. The Southern section of Atlanta, which houses the industrial section of Atlanta, is home to such cities as Forest Park, Peachtree City, Fairburn, and Stockbridge. And last but not least is East Metro Atlanta, where Snellville, Stone Mountain, Lawrenceville, and Conyers are located.

The North Metro Atlanta area is known for its higher than average home prices. Cities such as Sandy Springs and Roswell contain some of the most sought after Atlanta homes for sale. This region consists of many luxury home communities located near upscale shopping and dining. As you drive further north of Atlanta the views become amazing. You can watch the geography change as you journey into the Blue Ridge Mountains.

West Atlanta contains some historic cities such as Marietta, Georgia. Further out are the growing cities of Powder Springs and Hiram. Very affordable homes have driven many new home seekers out to this region over the last 3-5 years. There are many neighborhoods available in this area where one can still find a lot to build on over one acre.

The Southern point of Atlanta is home to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. The Atlanta Airport is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the busiest airport in the world. It is also the home to many large corporations such as Delta Airlines and Air Tran Airways. Most of the area is home to the Industrial sector of Atlanta which employs many of the cities laborers. Further south is the beautiful Peachtree City where citizens travel on golf carts as they would cars. The South Atlanta metro area has much to offer, and great commercial real estate opportunities.

East Metro Atlanta houses a fast growing real estate market. Cities such as Conyers and Dacula have almost doubled in size over the last five years due to extreme growth. A very short ride to Downtown Atlanta, and affordable housing has contributed to this region's population boom. Communities such as Stone Mountain and Lithonia have also seen a tremendous amount of growth for most of the same reasons.

Traveling through Atlanta searching for homes and real estate can be a daunting task, but as you can see it can also be very rewarding.

Atlanta Commercial Real Estate Offers Great Value

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:43:59 -0500

The Atlanta commercial real estate market has made much progress over the last year. The suburban Atlanta metro areas which include Kennesaw, Alpharetta, Woodstock, and Roswell have helped to fuel the fire. There has been a great deal of new commercial construction in these cities and others. While the Metro Atlanta residential real estate market grows at a slightly above average pace, the commercial market has been following.

Large amounts of medium to large sized companies have relocated to the Atlanta Metro area from other US cities. Some have come here for the large amount of Executive office space available in the newly constructed high rise towers. Other companies have decided that the warmer weather is just quite easier to business in than the harsh northern winters. Any way you slice it, Atlanta has been a popular destinations to relocating businesses.

A large amount of high tech companies have been relocating into research and development parks, medical laboratories and setting up call centers within the Atlanta metro area. These companies have created many jobs and improved the city's economy and job outlook over the last one to five years. Many of the Atlanta's economic leaders are confident this trend will continue into the upcoming years.

Atlanta has a perfect centralized location. That makes it a great region for product distribution. With its three major interstate road ways, a large railway network, and the busiest airport in the world, Atlanta is one of the largest transportation based cities in the US. Many logistics based companies call Atlanta home and will continue to do so in the future. Large transportation based companies such as Delta Airlines and United Parcel Service currently call Atlanta.

As you can see, commercial real estate in Atlanta has much to offer all types of companies. Big or small your companies can excel in this wonderful city in the South. With high quality of life scores, great schools, and a warm environment, Atlanta is a great place for employees!

Woodstock, GA real estate is thriving!

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:31:11 -0500

About 30 miles north of Downtown Atlanta resides a wonderful city named Woodstock. Not to be confused with the legendary music festival which recently celebrated it's 40th anniversary, this Woodstock is the thriving suburban city with a small town feel located in the Northern Atlanta metropolitan area. This city was once just a small town that had a pretty simple real estate market that just serviced first time home buyers and middle class families. However over the last decade things began to change. There are now Woodstock homes for sale to entice just about any type of home buyer.

Recently, Woodstock real estate is divided into three main categories. The first time home buyers, who are either single or newly married. Next would be the middle income families with children, and middle aged couples who live in medium sized four to five bedroom homes. And finally we have the retirees who desire active adult communities.

Within the last ten years Woodstock has become a desirable real estate region for first time home buyers. Native Atlantans who were raised in sister cities such as Marietta, Roswell, and Alpharetta, have relocated to Woodstock and taken advantage of lower Cherokee County taxes and home prices. The lower property, sales, and association dues helped Woodstock grow into the thriving city it is today.

Offering plenty of quality, affordable housing, first time home buyers have flocked to this city.Subdivisions like Brookshire, Weatherstone, and The Woodlands, offer a great example of Woodstock homes for sale. With the City's own new "Downtown Woodstock" development completed, the city now has even greater appeal to the younger crowd. Complete with lofts, condos, and town homes, downtown living has been finally brought to the suburbs.

Families of all sizes also love Woodstock, Ga real estate. Subdivisions such as Eagle Watch and Woodlands off amenity rich living. Eagle Watch offers homes price for the mid 200s to the low 800s and sits on a beautiful designed 18 hole golf course. The Woodlands provide many homes priced from the low 200s to the high 300s. Great shopping and entertainment also add to these great attributes.

Retirees from surrounding states and areas are now finding Woodstock to be a special place to settle. Maintence free communities such as Cottages of Woodstock offer great homes for an affordable price. Many of these new communites are modeled after some of the great developments in Florida. Why move to Florida now, when you can have the same type of home and amenities right here in your own back yard?

Well that county is Cherokee County and the city is Canton. Canton real estate has become so popular, that many Atlanta metro area residents have relocated to this piece of Georgia paradise.

Atlanta Real Estate is benefiting from Kennesaw, Woodstock, & Acworth.

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:15:11 -0600

Homes in the Atlanta real estate market have done well considering the national housing slump. After looking at the numbers, my company is not that far off from last year. Sure, new home inventory is still a rising problem, but compared to the national market, we are doing pretty well. Atlanta real estate priced from 180-220k has done the best in this national housing depression. Kennesaw, Acworth, and Woodstock, in my opinion currently have the best quality and value of re-sale homes in the North Atlanta area.

Kennesaw, GA is located in Cobb County approximately 20 miles north of Atlanta. Kennesaw real estate has weathered the storm with an abundance of buyers targeting the area. With it's great location and close proximity to shopping, Homes for sale in Kennesaw have been moving lately. The North Atlanta real estate market has benefited from cities like Kennesaw that continue to fight off the negative real estate market. Home buyers here experience a wide variety of different types of housing, and usually always find what they are looking for. You will find everything from Town-homes, cluster homes, million dollar homes, and more.

Woodstock, GA is located about 10 miles north of Kennesaw in the southern region of Cherokee County. Woodstock real estate is another positive link in Atlanta's strong market. Made up of a good mix of higher and lower priced homes, Woodstock has homes to take care of any budget. Commercial real estate in Woodstock has remained positive also. Everywhere you look, strip malls, shopping centers, and restaurants spring up seemingly unfaded by a poor national housing market. REALTORS rarely have a difficult time showing clients homes for sale in Woodstock, due to the wide array of housing choices. I would have to say that Woodstock is a great city that has benefited the Atlanta real estate market over the last few years.

Acworth, GA is sits just west of Woodstock and north of Kennesaw. With an impressive historic downtown area and great recreational activities, the Acworth Real Estate has also not slowed down. New homes are Acworth's specialty. A large amount of new construction is available, and although sales are not on fire like previous years, builders here are still selling houses. Price, value, and location are three reasons. Acworth also has a thriving luxury home market.

As you can see, here are three cities that help make up the Atlanta real estate market. While not all Suburban Atlanta cities have seen this much prosperity throughout the last few years, these three cities are definitely a bright spot.

Dawsonville Homes for sale - Dawsonville Real Estate

Sat, 28 Jul 2007 12:23:56 -0500

For all of you that are not familiar with North Georgia, let me introduce you to the Dawsonville, GA real estate market. With a national forest, North Georgia mountains, and part of the largest lake in the state, Dawsonville is a city with everything. This great city also houses one of the largest retail outlet malls in the southeast. The North Georgia Premium outlets contain over 140 stores, such as Saks Fifth Avenue-Off 5th, Hugo Boss, Coach, and Calvin Klein. All of these draws have immensely contributed to the population increase for Dawsonville, and the surge in real estate for the area.

Dawsonville has many subdivisions and neighborhoods starting under 200k. Hidden Horizon, Burt's Crossing, and Valley Brook, are all great neighborhoods for the first time home-buyers. Most of them have easy access to Georgia Hwy 400, so getting into North Atlanta is very easy.

Most Dawsonville Subdivisions range from 150k-500k. The higher end neighborhoods are usually situated on or near Lake Lanier, where most of the homes for sale are pretty costly. Dawsonville Real Estate around the Lake has exploded in price over the last 5 years, now that most of the land is either Designated for Environmental Protection or already built on.

As you can see, Dawsonville, GA is becoming one of the most exciting places to buy real estate in the state of Georgia. For more information, please visit Dawsonville Homes For Sale, to search by subdivision, area, school, and more.

Tue, 24 Apr 2007 13:05:12 -0500

The Metro Atlanta area is full of great places to live, work, and play. I, myself, specialize in the North Atlanta metro area and would love to share some great information. Real estate in the northern market has many different types of homes, neighborhoods, and settings. For some, a farm-themed Equestrian style community such as Carmichael Farms in Canton or The Polo Fields in Cumming will do. And for others, a large residential Lake Community, such as Windward in Alpharetta, is what they prefer. Below is a sample of Atlanta cities and neighborhoods, to give you an idea of whats available. These are some of my favorite cities in all of Atlanta real estate.

Homes in the Alpharetta, GA Real Estate market are usually on the high end for homes in Metro Atlanta. The city consists of many Luxury Subdivisions, up-scale shopping, and a wonderful park system. More of an "established" community, new construction is not as abundant as it once was. Home buyers that want to be close to Alpharetta, but seek affordable new construction, now journey north a few miles to Cumming.

Cumming, GA has always had two things going for it. It has one of the most visited tourist attractions in the state of Georgia to it's East(Lake Lanier), and has the pristine city of Alpharetta to it's south. There are plenty of homes for sale in Cumming that include lake and mountain views. Over the last 5 years new construction has been Cumming's strong point. Like it's neighbor Canton, GA to the West, Cumming has more affordable luxury style homes also.

Welcome to horse country! Canton, Georgia is known for it's beautiful farms, mountain views, and of course, great Real Estate! There is a great selection of Canton real estate for sale at this time. Although Cherokee County is trying to curb development, there are still many new homes for sale in Canton. Carmichael Farms for instance is a new Equestrian themed community, that contains homes from the 400s-700s. Built with an amenity rich "town square", this neighborhood is a one-of-a-kind.

As you can see, these three north Atlanta area cites have much to offer. Stay tuned for my next review of some more great cities.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, one had to search in Fulton County to find "the perfect golf community". Working in the North Atlanta Real Estate market I have sold my fair share of homes in Golf Communities. I am now pleased to announce that Cherokee County is the #1 Golf home market in the southern region of the United States, according to Golf Digest!

These spectacular golf communities include Woodmont Golf & Country Club, located in Canton. BridgeMill Golf and Country Club, also located in Canton. And Hawk's Ridge, which is located in the northern region of Cherokee County in Ballground. Hawk's Ridge was actually voted one of Golf Digest's 100 Greatest courses in the country. What a great honor for the Cherokee County Real Estate market!

The courses were scored on many variables including, Number of quality courses, golf days per year, and course congestion.

Tips on how to sell a "Vacant Home"

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:45:35 -0600

Being a REALTOR in the Atlanta Real Estate market, I have heard two arguments about Vacant Homes.

Against~ They don't show as well due to the fact that they have no furniture or decor.

For~They are more accessible to show, so traffic increases, so you have a better shot at an offer!

I would have to place myself somewhere in the middle of this argument. I agree with both points, but I would like to add my recommendations on what I tell my clients to do, if in-fact there home goes Vacant, while listed with me.

1. Get everything out. There's nothing more un-attractive than a half vacant home. It clearly says to a potential buyer that "I've Vacated my home, but left my junk". Don't forget the closets and the attics.

2. Clean, Clean, Clean! It's all too often that I show homes that are Vacant, but they are filthy. Baseboards, Clean Carpet, and Don't forget the oven!

3. Do a decent job repairing holes and touch up. When the furniture and pictures are removed, there are always scuffs and marks all over the walls. If you do not know how to work a putty knife and paint brush, please find someone who does. I showed a home recently that looks like someone used there hand to apply the putty.....Terrible!

4. Keep the heat or air conditioning on. Another mistake owners make when trying to sell there home is to turn off there utilities. A prospective buyer does not want to walk into a freezer when viewing your home. You want to make sure buyers feel comfortable in your home, not chase them away to a warmer area like there car!

5. Maintenance- This one is for agents and homeowners! Bugs, dust, mud, grass, all find there ways in Vacant homes. Keep a small vacuum and or broom and dustpan, to keep your Vacant home showing well. Just because it is Vacant, does'nt mean you should forget about it!
