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 [...]

(*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.  [...]

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% [...]

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.
This weekend, September 26 [...]

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 [...]

Don’t forget that on November 30, 2009, the federal tax credit of $8,000 for buying a principal residence goes away.   If you are seriously considering buying a loft or condo, you should do it before November 30.
For more information on the federal tax credit, please click here. And don’t forget that the state of Georgia [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
