My Newest Rescue Part 28……

I keep telling myself I will stop rescuing puppies - but more and more are being neglected these days.  I rescued this one at age 6 weeks from a horrid situation.  He is now healthy as pie and is almost 9 weeks old. He is a mutt I would guess- maybe pit/lab/mutt.  He is a [...]

Townhome in Decatur Proper Anyone?

So, I have a townhome listed on Commerce Drive - like 5 minutes (by foot) from Decatur Square and Marta) for the fabulous price of $245,000.  It is a 2 bedroom / 2 and a half bathroom residence with a sweet bonus room on the ground floor that can be used as a third bedroom, [...]

Builder “Closeouts”

I have noticed there are a number of builder closeouts - even though some of these “new” buildings were really completed like 2 years ago.
My favorite one is the Artisan in Decatur  - which has only 8 residences left.  The developer is offering 6 months of mortgage payments, closing costs, and more. I must [...]

Castleberry Hill’s “Best Loft” Offering An Open House Tonight

I got a call from Angela this morning who is selling “the best loft in Atlanta”- which happens to be in Castleberry Hill.  I love the fact that they bought a domain name for this property.   I think I have been in this loft before and now it is a possible short sale and pretty [...]

“Cosmo Condos” Auctions 40 Residences

The Cosmopolitan Condominiums will be auctioning off 40 of their “urban upscale condos” on May 17th at the Westin Buckhead.  From now until May 16th, you can preview the condos daily and there is a “practice auction” on May 16th - which is helpful if you have never been to an auction before.
The starting price [...]

And Aqua’s Bargains (Another Up For Auction!)

So, along with Viewpoint, the “newer” Aqua Midtown has condos up for auction.  Aqua has not had good press lately as one resident was killed in her condo after she let a man posing as a potential buyer come in.  NEVER DO THIS PEOPLE.  Always have the concierge come with you if you are doing [...]

Viewpoint’s Bargains

It may not be a shock to anyone that Viewpoint has decided to sell a “select” few one bedroom residences for under 190K.  The 19 homes they are selling for under 190K are available from now until May 31, 2009…unless of course they don’t sell them all…I would think they would continue this promotion.  But [...]

Homebuyer Credits

Seriously folks, if you have thought about buying but have been scared off by everything that is going on with the banking situation (I could get into details here but I will keep this pretty simple)  then now is the time to go for it.  The federal government is stepping in (whether people like it [...]

Rates Dropping Like Flies

Just a quick update in case you have not been paying attention to all the banking news out there. Interest rates are dropping (and I suspect will continue to drop - perhaps surpassing the lowest rates in history after WWII. )
Take a quick read here and let me know if you have any [...]

Another One On The Chopping Block - Or Auction Block

So, the newest condominium to start auctioning off  “select” residences is the Horizon at Windy Ridge Parkway.  If you want to live close to town, but not really in the city…then these are some pretty good bets.   They are going as low as 60% less than previously priced.
They bill themselves as city living outside the [...]
