Decatur Deal at $134,500

I just listed this 2 bedroom / 1 bathroom condo in Decatur…not on the outskirts of Decatur - but Decatur proper.  Like a 5 minute stroll to the Decatur Square or Marta.  This condo is listed at $134,500 and if you are a new buyer - don’t forget the up to $8,000 tax credit you [...]

Condo Sales and Foreclosures

I thought I would post an article about condo sales from the AJC.  It, of course, says what we have been thinking - that condo sales are way down, but it is an interesting article and discusses the fact that maybe, just maybe, if these developers continue to slow down the influx of new condos, [...]

2010 - What’s in Store?

I really have no idea.  I mean, I know that I am a “Realty Expert” and all, but jeez, this market really is an interesting one and a slightly depressing one to figure out.  Let’s just say that I don’t think 2010 will get amazingly better. I think and worry that (among other things) foreclosures [...]

What’s Selling in Our Fair City? - Part 2

(*I started this before Thanksgiving and am just finishing it.  Sorry*)
I decided to head on over to Midtown in zipcode 30308 for this next post.  I have found that in the last month or so, things seem to be picking up - at least with single family homes- but let’s look at condos and lofts.  [...]

What’s Selling In Our Fair City? - Part 1

Has the condo/loft market gone ka-plunk in Atlanta in the last few months?  I have to say - kinda, sorta, yes.  We all knew it may happen after Atlanta got a gluttonous amount of massive condos put on the market last year.  Many new high rises have fallen way way way short of being “100% [...]

The 8th Annual Castleberry Loft Tour Is Almost Here!

If you love lofts and yet, have not been to the Castleberry Hill Loft Tour, you are certainly missing out on many cool ones in this neighborhood.  The oldest and most authentic lofts in the city reside in this south end area of Downtown - many offering wonderful views of the city.

May The Force Be With You

Alas, if you live in a loft or condo downtown, you MUST attend the 2009 Dragon*Con Festival.  IF you are looking for a loft or condo downtown, then you HAVE TO be a part of one of the most fabulous things that comes to Atlanta (in my humble opinion of course.)
Held every year in Atlanta [...]

Deadline for Federal and State Tax Credit Looming

Freedom Lofts

Home of the National Linen Company and built in 1954, this fabulous loft building is truly one of a kind.  95 foot long steel trusses allowed for uninterrupted factory space.  The expansive metal windows created tons of light and the modern design made way for efficient textile manufacturing.   The architects who created Freedom Lofts in [...]
