The Atlanta Development Authority has a new program for buyers (including first time buyers) buying in the City of Atlanta.

Lately, I have noticed a lot more “short sales” happening in the condo/housing market in Atlanta, and wanted to learn more about them, so I started doing a lot of research. I have found a couple of good articles for buyers about short sales and the pros and cons that can occur with one. […]

There are 14 foreclosures/corporate owned condos and lofts in the 30305 zipcode. This zipcode of course includes Buckhead (along with sections of Pharr Road and East Paces Ferry.) Starting at a mere $72,621 (I love that figure), you can buy a 1/1 condo at 430 Lindbergh. The highest price listed is a 2/2 […]

When I say downtown this time, I mean very close to Phillips Arena, the Georgia World Congress, the Georgia Aquarium, and the new World of Coke Museum. The list of foreclosures in this area (zipcode 30313) include a few condos in the fairly new (completed in late 2003) Centennial Park West on none […]

For the second time in a week, the Fed has done it again and has cut short-term rates by half a percentage point. Yesterday’s action, combined with the cuts we have seen earlier, “should help to promote moderate growth over time and to mitigate the risks to economic activity,” according to the […]

I have just found myself reading more and more posts out there since Knox got me so interested in this blog world. Anyway, I have stolen this good CNBC article from a reader of ours, Reno Real Estate, and thought it is worth sharing. It is entitled, “Fed Cut: What It Means […]

I thought I would write on a restaurant since I enjoy eating at many of them in our fair city. I chose Radial as the first one I would write about because it is in the midsts of condo, loft, and town-home central right on Dekalb Avenue. I also chose it because it is ONE of the two restaurants […]

Condos, lofts, and townhomes aren’t just in Mid-town, Buckhead, or Downtown. Some reside in great urban neighborhoods in the city. One such place in Kirkwood is the Kirkwood Station.
