            <description> <![CDATA[ The East Cobb, Alpharetta, and Roswell real estate market is suffering from a shortage of mint 
condition home inventory resulting in multiple offers scenarios on well 
priced, pristine homes. Meanwhile, homes on the market for six months or
 more continue to decrease in value while buyers wait for the next 
&ldquo;creampuff&rdquo; home to be listed for sale. Many agents and buyers are 
frustrated at the lack of &ldquo;good&rdquo; inventory. So
 why are prices going up? And why do I say th... ]]> </description>

I
 just pulled early sales data for Lassiter, Pope, and Walton school 
district and I was astounded by what I found. I knew the market was in 
recovery mode in East Cobb, but had no idea the gas pedal is was the way
 to the floor.
We&rsquo;ll

DOWNLOAD THE REPORT AND WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: 

Watching the kids in our neighborhood sled ride and enjoy the snow
from the Blizzard of 2011, I wondered how real estate in their high
school performed in 2010 versus 2009. The information here is really
unique interesting and I don&rsquo;t believe you&rsquo;ll find it anywhere else on
the internet.

As always, &nbsp;pause the video to really absorb the information. By the

Transcribed from YouTube Video on Cobb County Real EstateIn April 2010 there were 640 home sales in Cobb County.&nbsp; You may be asking what has taken me so long since we&rsquo;re currently in June. However,&nbsp; if I wait just a little bit longer the statistics are usually more accurate.&nbsp; So I&rsquo;m certain 640 sales is fairly. Out of those 640 Cobb home sales, 175 were foreclosures.&nbsp;... ]]> </description>

Treasury Outlines New Guidelines to Streamline Short Sales 

Short sales have long been problematic for buyers and sellers alike
due to the lack of urgency by banks to work out contracts in a timely
manner. We've all heard the horror stories about buyers waiting three to six
months or more before hearing from the bank on whether their offer was
accepted or not.

According to the National Mortgage Bankers
Association, more than 9.1% of Georgia mortgage borrowers are 60 or more days

Pre-Holiday Cheer for Atlanta Housing Market

There is reason for some pre-holiday cheer in the Atlanta Housing Market! Numbers just released for October show the strongest year to year percentage increase in closings since May of 2006. According to Marietta, GA based Smart Numbers, there were 4,532 closings in October for all single family. After reported &quot;lag closings&quot; the increase should be at least 15% from October 2008.

While the average price single family detached homes ($201,... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Today was the eye opener that I've been waiting for...

All the doom and gloom of record foreclosures and burgeoning inventory aside, it seems there are not enough &quot;nice&quot; homes to satisfy demand in the $150k-$200k price range. One new home community (yes, they still exist) in North Cobb had UNDER CONTRACT signs on 90% of its properties! John Adams reported in his weekly column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the best time to buy may be coming to an end. This weeks interest ra... ]]> </description>

This weekend I showed a wonderful couple from Jacksonville, Florida townhomes and condos in the most exclusive areas in Buckhead. We found out some profound news that the rest of the world has yet to discover...HOMES ARE SELLING! Several new construction projects have deeply discounted pricing and savvy buyers seem to be out in gobbling up the bargains. 

Take the Brownstones at Habersham for example. 14 townhome SOLD IN JUST 30 DAYS averaging over $500,000. We were shocked to find a 4 level, 3... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 


According to the Marietta Daily Journal, there were 1,079 foreclosed homes for sale on the Cobb County Courthouse steps this past Tuesday. This represents an increase over the August 2008 auction of 861 foreclosures. Many of these homes will be listed and sold to the public over the next several weeks.&nbsp; 

Foreclosures continue to drive the market place to a slower recovery.&nbsp; What does this mean for the Cobb County housing market? Let's consider this, in all of July there were 561 si... ]]> </description>

            <title>Atlanta Real Estate Inventory Down 10% from 2008</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Many sources have predicted that the Atlanta housing market would hit bottom and begin a slow but steady recovery in late 2009. It sure seems like that is the case today as a new report shows months of inventory for single family detached housing in June reduced to 12 months verses 13.6 months in June 2008. This is a positive sign that while the economy is still weak, the housing market is beginning a slow turn to the positive.

The average sale price for detached housing in June was $217,790 i... ]]> </description>
