gwinnett county: METRO ATLANTA - OCT 2011 - FORECLOSURES - GWINNETT RANKS AT TOP
- 10/19/11 04:30 AM
Realty Trac released new reports week-ending October 15. Their current report shows Georgia fourth in the nation for foreclosures. Their numbers include default notices, auctions and bank repossessions. Notably, due to missteps by lenders, foreclosure filings have been artificially down during 2011. However, lenders have worked to correct their processing of potential mortgage defaults; and as a result, it is likely we will see an uptick in foreclosures nationwide in coming months. Currently one in every 121 homes shows a foreclosure filing in Georgia; with one in 89 homes in Metro Atlanta showing a foreclosure filing. Foreclosure notices for October … (0 comments)

Over the past 12 to 24 months, many home owners have experienced a substantial loss of equity in their homes. It is unlikely the tax assessors will have the time needed to re-assess all the properties; and, as such the responsiblity will fall into the lap of each home owner. So if you do not act quickly you may loose the opportunity all together. In Georgia, all real property is assessed an ad volorem property tax and each county Tax … (0 comments)

gwinnett county: ATLANTA SHORT SALES... What You Need to Know
- 07/28/08 09:05 AM
Short sales are becoming an option for homeowners throughout the country who may be facing foreclosure. Atlanta short sales, for all intent and purposes, have become more common place in our real estate market; whereas a year ago most of us hadn't even heard the term "short sale". Currently our listing services do not track the number of homes listed and/or sold as short sales in the Atlanta market. But what I do know..we are beginning to see more and more of them. So if you face the potential of a short sale, there are some things you will want to know.
THE BELL TOLLS FOR THEE! And, ready or not it is that time of year once again!
Across Georgia, buses will be rolliing and school doors will be opening wide to welcome back students. For Gwinnett County, the first day of school is August 11. Listed below is the 2008-2009 Gwinnett County Public Schools Calendar:

What price is the right price? This is a challenging question in Suwanee's current real estate market - as well as all of metro Atlanta. The typical CMA (comparative market analysis) most agents like to use isn't going to get the job done if you want to have your home priced competitively - and - SELL! Many agents, like myself, are filling their arsenal with supporting data from many sources. Let's be honest, even with what we hear from the media, come year-end when the analysis of the 2008 real estate market is compiled, despite the nay-sayers, … (3 comments)
