            <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

contract in January and February, and homes that actually sold. Let&rsquo;s

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>

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>

            <title>North Cobb Inventory Disappearing?</title>
            <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>

            <title>Cobb County Foreclosures in August</title>
            <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>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
As I work with first time or experienced buyers, they want to know what subdivisions might fit them, their style, etc. As an agent, I am restricted on what I can and cannot say due to federal fair housing laws. However, I can convey facts about communities that have good reputations. 

Take English Oaks subdivision for example, this fine community is located in Kennesaw, GA and is the only community that has direct access to Swift/Cantrell Park, Kennesaw's newest and largest city park. The comm... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Today I showed homes to a very nice man who is a professor at Kennesaw State University. He was looking at Master on Main floor plans including ranches in Cobb County. What struck me today was how vastly different the prices can be from one community to another, no wonder appraisers are having a tough time setting values in today's market. Some of the communities we saw were McEver Park, English Oaks, Howell Farms, and Centennial Commons.&nbsp; Some very fine offerings in each of these Cobb Cou... ]]> </description>
