warner robins: 0% Down Loans in Warner Robins, GA
- 03/30/09 03:53 AM
Currently, the 4 most popular loans that we are working the most are the conventional mortgages (3% - 5% down payment), FHA loans (3.5% down payment), VA loans (0% down for qualified veterans), and the USDA loans (0% down)
I personally have seen the most activity since Jan, 2009 with the USDA loans, having buyers that initiated 3 USDA loans, with 1 turning to FHA because of the income restrictions. The other 2 loans closed without much of a hitch, in 3-4 weeks.
The USDA loan program (aka Guaranteed Rural Housing loans) is administered by USDA Rural Development offices. It helps … (1 comments)

warner robins: 2008 was a year to remember.... literally!
- 01/03/09 12:08 PM
The Houston county real estate market saw a lot of changes in 2008. We certainly saw less closings, fewer buyers and lower incomes for some real estate professionals. Some of our local companies closed up. Some agents gave up their licenses. Others just went broke. May and June were the busiest months. We closed slightly over 200 homes each of those 2 months. December was the slowest, though not dead. We still managed to close 120 homes for December. All together, the entire CGMLS closed a total of........... 2 0 0 8 single family detached homes in 2008!!! This was all for … (0 comments)

warner robins: 2007 Annual Realtor awards banquet
- 02/15/08 01:19 PM
Feb. 15 the Central Ga Board of Realtors held their annual awards banquet at the Board of Realtors new office and conference center. We had about 150 in attendance, including affiliates. We had a catered Mexican fiesta with lots of good food, mariachi music and pinatas! We honored out first time million dollar producers, our first time lifetime million dollar producers club and the Silver, Eagle and Phoenix awards.
There were about 22 first time million dollar producers, and about 14 who made the first time in the lifetime million dollar producer club. I say "about" because I dont want to miscount anyone. Two agents … (0 comments)

warner robins: Demon Dress Drive
- 02/15/08 12:32 PM
Warner Robins High School student council collects dresses to make prom dreams come true.There are so many formal parties in the county and usually a girl wears a particular dress once. It makes sense to make those little-worn dresses available to high school girls who might not want to pay a few hundred dollars for a dress that they will only wear once. That's why the student council is collecting new and nearly new formal dresses, to be sold in the 2nd annual Demon Dress Drive.Once the dresses are collected, they will be sold at Warner Robins High School. All proceeds from the … (0 comments)

warner robins: Market stats Houston county GA
- 11/19/07 05:56 AM
Currently, we are about 459 less residential properties sold, than last year at this time in Houston county, which is an 18% decrease. We are not experiencing what the rest of the country is feeling right now. But what we are seeing more of is buyers coming into our area, not prepared to purchase right away, because their property is another area has not sold yet. In the past this has not been an issue, but it seems the woes of the rest of the county are effecting us in this small way. But we are finding ways around this, but … (0 comments)

warner robins: Houston county GA market report June 2007
- 07/06/07 07:55 AM
Houston county, Residental
Well, I have search through the MLS stats and tried to make sense of the numbers. This is my take on the market for Houston county, residential sales only. Even though our MLS covers Houston, Peach, Macon, Pulaski, Bleckley, Twiggs, Dooly, Crawford and south Bibb counties, my research indicates that Houston is the dominant county as far as real estate listings and sales activity, so that is what the below stats reflect. Houston county is mainly Warner Robins, Perry, Centerville, Kathleen, and Bonaire. Some of the smaller counties have real estate offices that do not subscribe to our MLS, so their listings and sales … (1 comments)

warner robins: a big change for me, from International franchise to local independent
- 07/04/07 11:56 AM
I recently left an internationally known franchise for an independent company that has no real estate presence in my area. They have 1 small office in the Atlanta area, but are not recognizable at all to anyone in my service area. But they do have a logo and a website, and seem to be modestly successful in their service area. The owner is around my age. His business model is very different than what we are used to in this area, but it works for them in Atlanta, so it should work for us in Houston county.
I welcomed the change that … (4 comments)

warner robins: Subdivision website
- 07/04/07 11:40 AM
I am working on the graphics for the community website, as I got the idea of a neighborhood website. So, I bought a new domain name (subdivision name) and am working on the site. I took all the pics yesterday of the subdivision, such as the entrances, street signs, a few homes, and lots of mailboxes. My plan is to have a gathering spot for the neighborhood, where they can see the latest news, find out which homes are selling, and for how much, post a yard sale, post a classified ad, etc. Maybe have some links to the local area, … (3 comments)

warner robins: community website
- 06/15/07 01:55 PM
I had an idea about a community website, kinda like a one-stop website. I bought a domain name. Now I am trying to figure out what content do I want to publish. My husband is active duty Air Force and we live in an Air Force town, where the best jobs are on the base. In the past when my husband has received orders to ship out somewhere, we are always in desparate need of all of the particulars about the new assignment. So, I am thinking there are many families just like us, who will get orders to Robins Air Force … (4 comments)

warner robins: IDX is finally here!
- 04/25/07 03:32 AM
In Houston county, we finally have access to IDX marketing! That means that our MLS is search-able now, through our websites, company and agent-owned. Instead of potential buyers going to every company's website to see their listings, now all companies that opt-in for IDX, have a link on the website to all of the listings. (only the listings of the companies that opted-in. This is a huge technology "move-up" for this area. It certainly levels the playing field more for the smaller companies that may not have many listings of their own. For years, other websites, such as Realtor.com used all of the MLS listings on their website, … (3 comments)
