Atlanta is still growing, in spite of the lagging economy and rising unemployment figures throughout the country.  By 2020, Atlanta is expected to be the sixth-largest metro area in the country.  There are many opportunities for businesses and attractions throughout the Metro Atlanta Area.  Forbes magazine ranked Atlanta as top among the "Most Wired Cities," and "Best Cities for Singles."  Kiplinger magazine placed the city in the No. 1 spot for "Best Cities for Married with Kids."  The cost of living in Atlanta continues to be a draw.  Lower costs for major expenses such as housing, food, clothing and gasoline help keep the region's cost of living below the U.S. average.  Housing remains more affordable here than in other metro areas, and property tax rates range from 1 percent to 2 pe...

I've lived in Atlanta a long time. In fact, this is the longest I have lived in any one place, with the exception of living with my parents before going to college. I came to Atlanta first in 1991 as the result of a job transfer with Hilton Hotels.  I was here for a year, and then bought my first house, which I still own today. It was probably the physical tie that brought me back here in 1994. (I was transferred in late 1992 to New York, and then accepted a job back here in Atlanta in '94) And I've been here ever since. I've watched the city grow in more ways than one. From bad air days to bad hair days to highways and high-rises. But, Atlanta has always had a problem managing their growth. I'm not a politician, and I don't profess to know or understand all that has, or will go on. But...

What's your rental properties cap rate? Atlanta, GA Since our method guarantees such a vast difference in cash flow from what is normally received from a single family and multi-family investment property we wanted to illustrate what investors in apartment houses do when they asses a deal. They evaluate the proft potential of the property as opposed to what similar properties recently sold for, to establish value. Basically, how that investment is going to pay them back, comparable to annual interest rate paid on an investment in a CD or Bond. So the ratio between the sum invested and the net profit the asset produces is the cap rate. By applying a certain criteria, someone investing in larger money producer, such as apartment units can determine a worthwhile investment and the same cri...

New Sarah R Smith Elementary Intermediate Campus Opens Jan 2010!  There are three top elementary schools in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta GA.  The other two, Morris Brandon Elementary and Warren T. Jackson Elementary have opened second campuses in the past few years to handle the increased demand for their excellent schools.   Earlier this month, Sarah R. Smith opened it's Intermediate Campus for children in 3rd through 5th grade.  This allows the almost 900 children to utilitize two campuses as the original one was WAY over capacity.  The great news for Sarah R. Smith is that they were able to build a whole new building on newly purchased land.   The other two schools, Morris Brandon and Warren Jackson renovated other schools that had been closed or used for other purposes to al...

  Before we dive into the Metropolis Midtown Atlanta Condominium Annual Market Report, let me give you a brief description of this Midtown condo community.   The Metropolis was the building that really started the stream of Midtown condo buildings that exist today. Developed by Novare Group in partnership with Wood Partners (Novare also developed Spire Midtown, followed by Viewpoint Midtown), it was completed in 2002. It includes 498 units in two towers. When the building was first propsoed, the North Tower was to be condos, and the South Tower was going to be apartments. Sales were so brisk for the North Tower that the apartment plans were scrapped and became condos as well.  The building was not the first Midtown attempt at combining retail and residential, but it was the first to hav...

  Plaza Midtown is a unique Midtown Atlanta condominium community. The design features twin towers, with seperate lobbies and varying views of Midtown, Downtown and beyond. The community has a resort-like pool area located on the 6th Floor, complete with gardens, grills and a club house and fitness center. Plaza Midtown is unique by having the Publix Supermarket located on the street level of the building! It's a big selling feature for this community! As we can see in the Plaza Midtown Atlanta Condominium Annual Market Report, this building has taken quite a hit in values. Since it was completed in 2006, many people bought at the height of the market, and this building has felt the pinch from short sales and foreclosures. However, the number of sales in 2009 equal the number of sales ...

      As we take a look at the Midtown Atlanta Condo market, I want to share with you not only 2009, but what has happened in the market place since 2007. The Spire Midtown Atlanta Condominiums Annual Market Report tells the story of what is happening in many of our condo buildings.   First, let's look at the number of sales in Spire Midtown in 2007, 2008 and 2009. As you can see, the market for this building is half of what it was just 2 years ago. And as with the decrease in sales, so comes the decrease in the sales price.     Average Days on the Market:  2007 - 103   2008 - 75  2009 - 98   While the Spire Midtown Atlanta Condominiums Annual Market Report numbers are challenging for those who are trying to sell, it certainly shows the values to the Buyers that are looking to move to ...

It doesn't have to be that way.  With proper planning and use of the "right tools" you can make the process of selling your home far easier and less stressful.   Step 1: Get an Agent - Sure, getting an agent means paying a commission. It also means that the marketing tools needed to get your home the exposure it needs will be implemented.   Step 2: Price it Right - There's a reason why step 1 is "getting an agent." A good agent will help identify the price point the home needs to be listed at in order to sell more quickly. Don't believe me? Price it too high and see what happens.  Step 3: Make it Look Good - In this market you want to give the buyer every reason to buy and not a single reason not to.    As a professional home stager in Atlanta, one of the first questions I ask when I me...

How much work is that Buckhead foreclosure deal in Atlanta GA?  With just over 90 days to go with the $8,000 first time home buyers tax credit and the $6,500 repeat buyers tax credit, we expect a busy Atlanta Spring 2010 market.  There's a great opportunity with foreclosures in metro Atlanta with even a good number available in Buckhead.  Today's market activity shows for area 21 representing Buckhead between the I-75 and I-85 Interstates within the city of Atlanta just 25 homes Actively listed.  The prices range from $225,000 to a high of $1,360,000.   Of these 25 Active homes, many are either old tear downs that the builders bought a couple years ago expecting to tear them down and build big McMansions on the properties or homes that were spec built by Atlanta builders when times were...

The December stats came out from the FMLS. I updated my ongoing chart with the new data.  The 12 month moving average for number of units inching up a bit but the average price is flat.  Maybe we're creating a solid bottom for prices. These charts are for the entire metro Atlanta area for single family detached homes. For charts for 30 more localized areas around Atlanta, go to my main site.   The latest Case-Shiller index didn't change much for Atlanta. As you can see, Atlanta is near the bottom of the list which means that housing is comparitively cheap in Atlanta

So, this past weekend my clients, Johnie & David, and I had our episode "Manly Man Cave In Atlanta" debut for HGTV's House Hunter's. While it was nice to reflect on the home-buying experience of Johnie & David it was also interesting to see how a 5 month process of house-hunting was editted down to a 30 minute tv show. One of the questions I've been asked by repeatedly by people since the show aired was "Did you really only half to show them 3 houses?!" The answer is definitely no, we saw & discussed many, many more homes.  The fact is that it's an entertaining 30 minute reality show and much of the home-buying process cannot fit within that timeframe, so I'm going to help fill in some of the gaps for a better understanding of the process & where true value-added services come in. First...

I recommend this builder highly.  His father was my contractor down at Lake Sinclair and built my office and did a super fantastic job.  And this house looks exceptional.  So if you are thinking of hiring a builder in the Brookhaven area or other areas of Atlanta Give Troy Ewing a call.

Thinking of selling your home in Atlanta?  Face it, now more than ever it takes a lot of planning, knowledge, and nail biting to sell a home in Atlanta.  Price is critical and so is the appearance.  We've actually been blessed this last year in real estate to see some stabilization of prices and homes sales.  Inventory is down, and mortgage rates are low at least for the time being.  Perhaps the free fall is over in falling home values, and then again perhaps it is just the government intervention and an interim pause.  Whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure...not everyone is getting what they want when selling a home!  Before a home is placed on the market it is wise to make sure all your ducks are in a row!  Let's start with the outside, curb appeal, roof, trim paint, and lan...

Thanks to the recent first-time home buyer tax credits, about 70%of the buyers that I work with are "property virgins".  For them, the thought of finding an affordable home near Downtown Atlanta (aka Intown Atlanta) is often daunting.   To help get the home search ball rolling, I've highlighted a few neighborhoods that are perfect places to purchase a first home: GRANT PARK atlanta homes (Zip code 30312) If you have about $275,000 to spend, you can get a 2 or 3 bedroom home in Grant Park that is in pretty good condition.  There are some foreclosures available for about $225,000, but you really have to jump when you find a good deal.  Grant Park also has some charming townhomes that are just a block or two from the park and they start at about $150,000. >> Grant Park Atlanta - View all ...
