Here in Atlanta, we have an overwhelming quantity of condos on the market.  In fact, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, there are currently 9,000 on the market with another 17,000 planned units.  To read the entire article, hit the link. Suffice it to say, if you're looking to sell, you're going to need to differentiate your home from the others on the market.  Once a buyer has chosen the location and the price range for which they're willing to pay you can be assured that they will be looking at several units and not just one.  Home Staging provides the greatest opportunity to help make your home memorable to the prospective buyers.  Case in point; here's a note I received from the sellers of a condo I had staged. She was looking to purchase an empty three bedroom unit.  Then...

Why This Is A Good Time To Buy A Home   I. Perspective on a Buyer's Market - Don't Believe the Headlines Today's sensational headlines ("Subprime Mortgage Meltdown", "Housing in the Tank") place an unduly gloomy picture of the national (and local) housing market. Despite the dire headlines that have appeared in the news, most Americans have reasonably good expectations that the economy will remain on their side for some time to come. A closer look at conditions in the housing market provide further grounds for optimism among prospective home buyers, and some of the negative developments in the marketplace can actually work to their benefit. For example, housing prices on a national basis have been losing some ground -- a development that sounds far worse than it actually is. At the heig...

The Federal Reserve is stumping hard on inflation this week, creating speculation that Fed Funds Rate hikes may be in store for later this month.  This is a counter-intuitive development because increases to the Fed Funds Rate are typically associated with periods of rapid economic expansion.  Lately, we've seen anything but.  Witness: High levels of unemployment Reduced consumer spending Falling consumer confidence Despite the downbeat news, though, multiple Fed members are taking a hard line on inflation, adding that a strong dollar support the economy and help to offset high oil prices.  A rate hike could help accomplish that goal. If the Federal Reserve votes to raise the Fed Funds Rate, Prime Rate will rise in tandem.  Prime Rate is the basis of interest rates for credit cards and ...

One of the nicest compliments a home stager can receive is when their client contacts them to let them know that the prospective buyer wants everything used in the home staging.  I've had the good fortune of receiving that request on a number of different occasions and each time I feel completely honored. In this particular case, it may boil down to the shower curtain used in the condo I had staged. Here's a portion of the note I received from the homeowner last night.  The buyer wants us to leave the shower curtain.  She loves it!!  Please let me know so we can include it or exclude it in the counter we're going to make before 3:00 tomorrow. After telling her that I would gladly provide the shower curtain at no charge, here was her response: Thanks for being so understanding about the ...

When a home buyer is gifted cash for a downpayment, there is a right way and a wrong way to receive the funds. The right way includes: Completing an acceptable gift letter Documenting the withdrawal of funds with receipts Documenting the deposit of funds with receipts The wrong way is to ignore the rules that mortgage lenders clearly spell out for you. Mortgage lenders watch gifts closely because they want to make sure that the "gift" is not really a loan-in-disguise.  If it's a loan, the total dollar amount must be counted against the home's total loan-to-value and higher loan-to-values typically increase lender risk. If it's a gift, a signed and dated gift letter should accompany the home loan application.  An example: I am the [relationship to recipient] of [name of recipient] and th...

Druid Hills is one of Atlanta's very best in-town communities. With its proximity to Emory, CDC, Agnes Scott, and downtown, and midtown, Druid Hills is continuing to grow as young families trade the long commutes for an in-town neighborhood. With its amazing and varied architecture, Druid Hills is not only convenient but it is also one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in all of Atlanta. Designed by Olmsted, designer of New York's Central Park, Druid Hills is a urban masterpiece of green-space, large lots, and period homes each with its own style and flair.
