It seems the market is really picking up, in my opinion, as I hear the “celebration bell” ring in my office on a hourly basis from excited colleagues closing a deal or writing a contract. But what does this ‘picking up’ really mean for Atlanta?

As I compare Q1 2009 to last year’s Q1, it means buyers are getting deals with an obvious decrease in median sales price for average for single family homes of 20.12%. This includes all FMLS areas inside the perimeter north of I-20, Vinings, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and Tucker. Dunwoody comes out the winner with a 0% decrease in median sales price where Midtown/In-town/Ansley and Vinings are jockeying for an overall decrease up to 35% in median sales price.

Oooooo Pretty. July 15, 2008

Watch out! I just bought my new Nikon D80 with a wide angle lense for my listings (among many other things).  Photography has always been a balancing hobby of mine and I finally am making amends that I can have both my digital SLR and film SLR – although I have to say I love(d) developing and printing my own film.

Radon – Doesn’t have to be a deal breaker…But How? June 10, 2008

What IS Radon? – Simply put…

It’s the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the United States – A “Class A” Carcinogen determined by the EPA and the Surgeon General. It is also the leading of lung cancer in non-smokers.

Have I gotten your attention yet? You can’t smell it, see it, feel it, taste it, or shake hands with it. It’s a problem here in Georgia yet SO MANY of us buying and selling homes, just ignore it. It a hazard to our families and friends and you may as well stick them in a bar with 100 smokers for 10 years. Same thing.
