schley county: It's bad, but not all bad, in the Ellaville, Ga., real estate market
- 01/02/10 11:27 AM
Supply continues to exceed demand for the inventory of listed properties in Americus, Ellaville, and the surrounding area. While several listings expired at the end of 2009, some of those will be renewed. We began the new year with 156 residential listings, down from 163 on the last day of December. Land listings dropped from 87 to 75 while commercial listings held steady at 26. The number of qualified (meaning able to get financing) buyers on any given day can be counted on one hand. It's no wonder we have so many unsold properties. Many have been on the … (0 comments)
schley county: Schley County, Ga., schools No. 1 for college enrollment
- 08/25/09 11:02 AM
This is big: Schley County schools are No. 1 in the state for college enrollment by graduates. This, at least, is what I gather from an email sent out by John T. Greene, coordinator of Schley County Family Connection. If it's true, this needs to be shouted from the rooftops. (If you need a rooftop of your own, I will sell you one.)The school system has, more than any other one thing, put Schley County on the map and turned it into a destination for new residents. Numerous new houses have been built to accommodate the newcomers who have enrolled their children … (0 comments)
schley county: Get pre-approved. Buy now!
- 10/12/08 01:26 PM
Smart buyers always make their move in a down market. If you are looking to buy a home or some land, act now. First, get pre-approved for a mortgage loan (unless you plan to pay all cash). Contact a lender of your choice, maybe more than one, and find out how much you can borrow. Get a pre-approval letter that you can show a seller. It will give you a leg up over would-be buyers who aren't pre-approved.Then get with your Realtor and look at some properties. If you don't already have a Realtor, give me a call at 229-924-3089. I can … (0 comments)
This past Friday brought a special pleasure to yours truly when I attended the closing of a real estate transaction in Ellaville. Sheriff Shane Tondee sold a house at 740 Ebenezer Road to Robert Kite. The Kite family will be a great addition to Ellaville and Schley County. Please say hello to them and welcome them to the community.
Thanks to Sheriff Tondee for making the house ready for the Kites to move in, and thanks to the Kites for buying it. Thanks also to Ken Wilson, Sheriff Tondee's Realtor, Debbie Simmons, Mr. Kite's … (1 comments)
schley county: Lots of properties for sale, not enough nuyers
- 05/18/08 07:38 AM
Sunday, May 18, 2008 This morning the Americus area Multiple Listing Service (MLS) had 160 residential listings, 24 commercial and 96 land listings. These are the highest numbers of properties listed for sale on our local MLS in the 12 years I've been a member of it. What do these numbers tell us? We have many properties for sale in our area, and not many of them are being bought. In past years, homes, land and commercial listings seemed to sell sooner than they do now, and the inventory of properties for sale did not build up to the high numbers … (0 comments)
schley county: Beautiful day, beautiful wedding
- 04/20/08 05:50 AM
Saturday, April 19, 2008, was a gorgeous day. The chance of rain predicted by the "weather man" seemed to evaporate in Schley County, and skies were a brilliant blue. What a great day for a wedding. The Corinth United Methodist Church was packed for the ceremony uniting my cousin, Ann-Marie Phillips Streetman, and Robert Kevin DeVane in marriage. The ceremony itself was the nicest one of its kind I have attended in a very long time. Kevin's parents, Tommy and Susan DeVane, hosted a reception following the wedding at their home acrosss Ga. Hwy. 26 from the church. The bride and bridegroom, accompanied by … (0 comments)
