The idea of walking away from an underwater home has been top of mind for the last several years. But what about the people that are hanging onto the house, even after the fall in real estate prices? Although not as many articles have been written about such owners, there are many that continue to try and fulfill the contract they signed and pay that mortgage. The Murphy's are a couple outside of Charlotte and a recent NY Times article highlighted their situation... “Little did we know,” said Mr. Murphy, “that within 24 months after we bought this place that this whole artificial bubble would explode.” A recent appraisal put the home’s market value at 22 percent less than what they paid. So they owe $148,000 on a house that’s worth around $125,000. They are now among the 11 million home...

The top things buyers are looking for this year in Milton, GA The top things buyers are looking for this year are of course price and location.  However, in Milton, GA, they are also interested in the schools and many times the golf and additional ammenities come into play.  As a luxury home specialist, it is my duty to be sure that I understand what the buyers are really in search of since many are not quite sure themselves.

This house is built for the way people really live. It’s an older gracious home and part of the charm is there are not miles of wasted kitchen space. This most prestigious neighborhood in Milton, North Valley just unveiled this uncommon executive 4 side brick estate peppered with unique luxury details on 5 acres with heated saltwater pool. The seller has sold tons of homes before and each time they sold by word of mouth or within the first week of it hitting the market. She bought this direct from a bank with the last year or so with plans to stay another 5 years, but plans are now moving her out of state.  It was never ‘listed’ as a foreclosure and… get this…before it went to the bank the previous owner denied great offer, pretty crazy.  The value was really higher but the bank pressur...

Have you heard? The newest North Fulton school map is officially out! Here at The Joanne Curtin Team, we know that finding the perfect school for your family is almost as important as finding the home of your dreams. Here is a quick break down of the recent redistricting changes made in North Fulton County: Roswell used to have two high schools – it will now have three. Saddle Creek, a former Roswell High School neighborhood, is now part of Milton High School. Students living east of Etris Rd and Houze Rd (Roswell), will now be attending Milton High School. Neighborhoods north of Old Milton Pkwy and east of Hwy 9 are now part of Alpharetta High School. They have basically split Milton on a East/West divide instead of a North/South divide – allowing for half of the students to remain in...

Tim's family owns a farm in North Fulton County in the city of Milton.  It is a bit of an anomaly as the farm is surrounded by subdivisions.  But that hasn't kept his father, J.L. English, from continuing to organically grow vegetables and fruits. We had a big gathering of family and friends at the Farm on July Fourth and a good time was had by all.         As soon as the Peachtree Road Race runners arrived, we feasted on Barbeque ribs, slow smoked pork butt, smoked chicken, slaw, potato salad, deviled eggs, cucumber tomato salad, baked beans, fresh green beans from Mr. Englishes farm and a squash casserole made by Mrs English from fresh English farm squash. Desserts included home made ice cream, banana pudding, coconut cake, peach cake, red velvet cake, chocolate chip cookies. Tim had ...

Have you been looking for a good deal on Foreclosure Homes in Milton?  The time has never been better to buy your next home in Milton, Alpharetta or Johns Creek because Foreclosure Home inventories are at an all-time high.  Simple supply and demand is at work here and because there is an increasing ratio of foreclosure homes to the total number of homes on the market, prices are dropping faster than ever. But why?  Simple...banks ask their agents to evaluate competition and report marketing efforts and activity each month.  Each month those agents are likely to report that if they aren't getting good activity on their homes there should be a price reduction so that they do start to attract buyers.  Because each bank does the same thing and there are often several foreclosure homes for s...
