big canoe homes: The Hammer and the PC
- 09/14/11 03:37 AM
This is NOT a post about taking a hammer to your PC or ipad. It is a post about understanding. In today's world we are often overwhelmed with Technology. So to me the key is to understand why a hammer and a PC are very much the same. First the Hammer.
If you look at a hammer you can see it has a blunt area, a handle, and a forked end. Even if you weren't sure what a hammer was for you might be able to guess. It is in fact a tool . It is a tool with a specific design. It has … (19 comments)

big canoe homes: Set one goal
- 09/09/11 08:28 AM
Look around. Look at all the info that is out there. Then ask yourself," If I set only one goal what would it be?" It should be the goal that you think will give you the most bang for the buck. Then set it. Make a plan on how to achieve it and have at it. Once you are successful you will want to do more .
Want to teach a horse to jump? You could set the bar where it needs to be and work like crazy to get the horse to go over it. Or you could set the … (2 comments)

- 08/05/11 04:48 AM
Big Canoe Bent Tree and Talking Rock Creek Resorts are just 3 of our great North Georgia Mountain Communities. The North Georgia Mountains remain an economic, undiscovered gem of a place to live.
This is an untouched photo. Did you see last of the Mohicans ? This scene about 1 hour from the Northern end of Greater Atlanta could have been the one they used at the start of the film.
Maybe you are tired of cramped living and communities with homes one on top of another. Well this is Lake Petit in The mist in the gated community of … (3 comments)

big canoe homes: Big Canoe Life Style, photos
- 07/26/11 02:42 AM
One thing I love about Big Canoe is the unexpected. So while I was working this morning I was treated to the following sight. This young person walked up our back stairs and found his way to the back deck. This one is about a year old and just a great sight to see.
The Photo above is him backing down the stairs after he saw me. Thing you want a natural experience and not a gated community. Think again. Big Canoe is a natural gated community in the North Georgia Mountains. Bordered by wild life management areas and with … (5 comments)

big canoe homes: Holmes Family Trio at Terrace Concert in Big Canoe
- 07/22/11 04:12 AM
The Holmes Family trio treated a large crowd at the Terraces in Big Canoe to an evening of great vocals. This concert was more about Gospel and Blues. It was a great concert . The Terraces at Big Canoe are part of the Big Canoe Chapel. This summer the entertainment has been great and the Terraces committee is to be commended on a super job. Big Canoe provides a great mountain life style. The Terraces concert series is just one of the many things that make Big Canoe , in my opinion, one of the premier Mountain locations any where. Thinking … (1 comments)

Is it Minnesota? Are they long lost pictures of the Russian front? No it is Big Canoe Georgia. We have had our second snow storm in as many weeks. For some of you it may be a, so what? Let me tell you the mentality here.
"Oh look it is snowing ! We have not had snow in so long. Wow it is really pretty. Quick run and get the camera before it all melts."
This is NOT the case now or the case of the first time in 100 years Christmas Day snow event. It is very pretty. There is a lot … (5 comments)

Today will be the last day of being snowed in. Some time today I should be able to get my car. But I did my 30 seconds, (See almost Christmas blog) and I am good. What I have been able to do is catch up on tons of paper work. I am also getting very organized. so I think I will by tomorrow be able to roar into 2011. My new mantra is , : When life hands you house stranding snow, Make a snow man "!!!

big canoe homes: Best Bagels in Atlanta
- 12/17/10 08:12 AM
Today I had lunch at B& B Bagels just out side of Atlanta. B&B is on McFarland road between Highway 9 and Georgia 400. You can't miss it . It is a diner with a whole bunch of cars parked around it. I am a transplanted New Yorker and so heard about B&B. I stopped by for bagels . Almost immediately my nose smelled New York Deli. The place was packed. I bought a couple of bagels and went home and feasted. They are as good as any bagel I have ever had in the tri -state, ( you North Easterners … (7 comments)

big canoe homes: Jennifer Grey wins Dancing with the Stars
- 11/24/10 01:40 AM
I am a sports fan, love splitting wood, hunt when I can, and thanks to my wife am addicted to Dancing with the Stars. I have followed the show since season 1. I think the attraction is seeing people out of their comfort zone working and sweating to achieve something. In the end the prize is a mirror ball trophy. The trophy can't be worth more than a hundred bucks. But for 12 tough weeks you have all kinds of well off celebrates working their butts off to win this thing. There is a lesson in this about pride.

big canoe homes: The Mountain Real Estate Report
- 11/03/10 09:49 AM
This week we cover 2 main areas on the Mountain Real Estate report. The first part of the show talks about the current Market and trends. The second part of the show is dedicated to the buyer who makes a low ball offer. You may be surprised to learn that aside from the obvious not getting the deal a buyer making a low offer in the end may be spending more. And there are potential other negative consequences associated with a low offer. Hope you enjoy the show. Your browser does not support iframes.

big canoe homes: Big Canoe Homes Update
- 11/01/10 10:16 AM
There are currently 271 listed homes on the market in Big Canoe. This means there are really about 300 on the market. Projecting the year out it looks like 90 homes will sell this year. That is up from last year. But if you do the math it means a 3 year inventory.
What you should know about Big Canoe, other than the photos and stories I post is : It appears our association fees will stay the same for 2011. It also appears that our capital reserve funds and debt retirement funds will become more and more robust. Also Big … (0 comments)

big canoe homes: The year in Review
- 10/22/10 07:56 AM
Yes it is almost year end and I think it is time to look back on 2010 and view the changes that effected our industry.
The word value was replaced by the word foreclosure. This change was not a good one. Folks often mistook buying a foreclosure for buying a value. Often times people said, "we want to see foreclosures." The foreclosures were sometimes good deals but not always. Some folks listened and bought something that was a better value and not a foreclosure. Others unfortunately just saw that word.
Short sales continue to be problematic. Depending on the number of … (5 comments)

Big Canoe homes for sale as of Oct 16 are 283 homes on the market. The price range is from 219,000 to 3,200,000. This is a really large range and is testament to the great diversity that is Big Canoe. Another interesting note is that homes below 200,000 for the first time do not appear in the numbers. People realize what a great one time opportunity is out there in this market and they have gobbled these homes up. Any home for a bargain hunter under 275,000 in Big Canoe really and truly is a bargain. Let the pros at All … (0 comments)
