I spent 8 hours yesterday showing homes for sale in Cumming Ga.  The inventory has grown, but with the number of homes for sale, I had a hard time finding a home that was in excellent showing condition and priced right.  In the 350-400K price range there are a lot of vacant homes for sale - when a home is vacant is makes the home feel very cold and abandoned.  Some of the homes I showed were in the Fieldstone Enclave and have been on the markets for 2-3 months with no price decreases.  My buyer will probablly end up buying a new home in Cumming - here is my advice for Selling a home:1.  How motivated is the Seller? - if the Seller needs to sell the home  then price the home to sell.  Where does your agent think you should price your home?  If the homes sits on the market at the same pri... 11/20/2007

This week we received two offers on a home for sale in Alpharetta.  Brookwood lakes is a great swim tennis community in Forsyth County Georgia.  This particular home has a finished basement, with 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 baths is a great school district. I would like to have held an open house on this home but we will take the offers.  I get a little upset when people say the market is very slow now - that is the reason a home is not selling.  Homes sell in almost any market.   As an agent, I feel people pay us very well to be honest with them.  I let Sellers know that the market does not stop a home from selling, a home does not sell because of 1 of 3 reasons, price, location or condition.  If the Seller feels the condition of the home is as good as it can be, then price is the only issue becau... 11/15/2007

If you are in the market to buy a home, you are bound to find some great deals!  I represented a buyer a few months ago.  We negotiated a contract on a home that was originally listed at $214,900 and closed on it for $175,000.  That's nearly 20% off of list!!!  On top of that, the seller paid a commission.  On a separate transaction, list price was $400,000, after negotiations my buyer walks away purchasing the house at $370,000 (approx 7.5% off of list less a commission).  Not every transaction is like that, but we are seeing more and more every day.  With Lake Lanier drying up, lake properties are losing value.  Homes on the lake are dropping by thousands,....in some cases, by over $100,000.  Bottom line, if you are a buyer, it's a great time to buy!  Lake levels should ultimately be ... 11/10/2007

Lake Lanier - Super Time to Buy! This is a great time to invest in that second home or primary residence on Lake Lanier. We have seen the prices plunge as the water levels go down. Presently, many homes on the market have landlocked docks due to Atlanta's historic drought. As in the past, however, the water will again rise and today's conditions will be forgotten, until the next drought cycle. Meanwhile, many sellers have significantly reduced their asking price - super opportunities for buyers who haven't wanted to pay the rising prices of the past for lake property.On another note, homes with docks in place (even if they are temporarily on land) offer more value, and greater investment potential, than do homes without a dock. A dock adds up to $100K in value to a property. Nearly all ... 11/09/2007

Two Forsyth County Middle Schools were honored this week for having excellent gains and the "Highest Performance" on the CRCT exams.  South Forsyth Middle School and Liberty Middle school had 93% and 92% of its 7th graders met or exceeded state standards in reading.  Only 7 schools in the state were recognized, and two of them being in Forsyth County shows the strength of the Forsyth County school system.  When people are looking for homes to buy, one of the most important factors is how the schools perform, and this will help people who what to sell their home in Cumming.  Neighborhoods like Creekstone Estates, Deerlake and Windermere all send their children to South Forsyth Middle School.  In fact, one Creekstone Estates homes for sale now highlight the award winning schools.  That ho... 10/31/2007

Right now is a great time to buy homes in Alpahretta Ga and Cumming Ga.  With a lot of homes on the market - selection is great - Buyers have their choice of homes.  Additionally, historically low interest rates and comptetive pricing makes it look like now is a great time to buy.  I see Sellers getting more and more nervious and with the September 2007 Real Estate Sales Report I see why.According to the Atlanta Journal, Sales of existing homes nationwide decreased in September by 8%.  What seems to have driven the decline are the issues the credit markets have experienced.  I work primarily North Fulton - Alpharetta -and Forsyth County Ga - Cumming Ga.  Here is how these areas did in September 2007 compared to September 2006.  Then I will explain how nervious Sellers can sell their hom... 10/25/2007

See the buoy in the picture below, that shows where the water level usually is.  Lake Lanier is about 12- 13 feet below full pool.  From someone that grew up in Atlanta and has been here since 1973 (except for college), it is a little scary to think of Lake Lanier running out of water.  However, from an investment standpoint I can not think of a better time to buy a Lake Home.  Some homes that usually have the lake in their backyard a mud hole.  Assuming the lake does come back; it seems like a great time to buy a Lake Home.   I have heard it said a few times this week - today's real estate deals are tomorrow's wealth.  I have a rental property and once I rent that out I will start looking for an investment property on the lake.  Our Campout on the lake went great - it was very dry so w... 10/17/2007

I am the scoutmaster at my church and this weekend we camped on Lake Lanier at Shady Grove - right on the lake.  The lake is the lowest I have ever seen it.  I remember 6-7 years ago it was low, but now this low.  It is about 12-13 feet below full pool (which is 1071 ft above sea level).  The impact on homes for sale around the lake can not be under estimated.  There is a saying out now that says the real estate deals of today produce wealth tomorrow.  I can not think of a better time to buy a home on the lake than than people are scared the lake may dry up. The state of GA has filed a lawsuit against the Army Corp of Engineers about the amount of water they are releasing - they have asked them to release less water.  The Corps response was amazing - they plan to release more water in t... 10/17/2007

Cumming, 40 miles north of Atlanta in the county seat of Forsyth, is one of the fastest growing cities in Georgia and the fifth fastest growing city in the nation*.  But long before Cumming's dramatic growth, the Cherokee Indians inhabited the land.  Forsyth County was created from the original Cherokee Country and the area is rich with Indian history and lore. Indian villages and mounds are located near the mouth of the Etowah River on Settendown Creek and on Big Creek near Sawnee Mountain.  Known as the Gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the city saw its first large growth when settlers moved in during the Georgia Gold Rush and a second surge after the completion of Georgia 400 in the late 1980s. Today, easy access to Atlanta via Georgia 400, a strong economy, and reputable schools ... 10/12/2007
