There is good news for active adults interested in moving to NW Georgia. More and more communities are being built and prices are lower than ever! The Villas at Riverstone are great homes that are now being offered in the low 100’s — many of these have full basements. Lawn care is taken care of, medical facilities are around the corner — as well as grocery stores, restaurants, and lots of shopping!
The Seasons at Laurel Canyon continues to attract many active adults with the emphasis on ACTIVE. Their amenities and activity calendar is hard to beat! If you want to stay active with your tennis skills this is also the community to consider. Their clay courts are easy on the bones and they have full time tennis pros, lessons, tons of teams at all levels, and lots of tennis always going on. Of course there are other active adult communities that also would please the active tennis players and I will be happy to send you all the info on those too!
Cherokee County has become a great place for active adults to “retire” to for many reasons. The medical facilities are abundant and growing - great communities at even better prices– and don’t forget the property tax break (up to 75%) when you turn 62 years of age. Many active adults are buying their future retirement homes now with prices so low and using them as second homes until they sell their present home. For more information or to see what NW Georgia has to offer please call or email me — I would love to help you find your next home surrounded by the beautiful North Ga mountain scenery.

Normally home prices dropping would be bad news. But I guess interest rates dropping is always good news. However if you are contemplating a home purchase this should be music to your ears. Why is now the time to buy?? Because you are sure of 2 things right now. Home prices are very depressed and interest rates are at historic lows!! Will these two factors ever be this favorable at the same time again?? Probably not. Foreclosures are being grabbed up pretty quickly by the investors that have finally started swooping in. That means by next year a great deal of inventory will be gone — you know the laws of supply and demand.  The interest rates are anyones guess. They always go up — by how much is another guess. But everyone in the industry agrees– the rates have to go up soon as the banks cannot afford to keep tying themselves into such low interest mortgages if they are to flourish in the future. So.. call me or email and I will set you up on an internet program that will email you all the available homes: foreclosures, short sales, stepless ranches — whatever your wishes may be I can set up a program to search for it!

A new active adult community in Paulding County GA has just reached completion! Paulding County was just featured in a national real estate publication as one of the fastest growing counties in the country. It placed in the top ten along with Forsyth County — another great area that has several new active adult communities and a senior property tax cut to boot! The Villas in Paulding are featuring a $12,000 builder incentive for buyers this month. There are several different floor plans — but most feature private courtyards, granite counter tops, wood flooring and walk-in pantries. The landscaping is taken care of which leaves more time to enjoy all the amenities the neighborhood has to offer! Call or email me and we can visit this community and all the others on my “A” list

I am finding that more and more clients are interested in ranches — and if you have lived in the Atlanta area for long you know that ranch homes can be hard to find! Builders and Developers have finally jumped on board with the trend for more One-Level homes, so finally there is more choice out there for buyers. I would like to invite you to email or call me for my specialized lists of ranch homes available in the NW Atlanta area. I have them categorized mainly by three criteria:  stepless ranches with level garage, ranches with basements, and ranches on acreage. If you would like one of these lists emailed (or all of them is fine too!) just email or call and I will email to you that day. I do update them once a week so the information you get will be fairly current. I don’t think you can go wrong buying a ranch home now with prices so reasonable and the trend growing every year for their popularity. Also don’t forget about the tax credit — you still have a couple of months to cash in on that!!

When people think about Atlanta they don’t think of it as a homogenous city with diverse neighborhoods. It is true, Atlanta does not have a Chinatown or SoHo but it actually does have many eclectic and diverse neighborhoods that ooze with history and old southern charm. Below I am going to name some of the more popular areas in random order:
1.   MIDTOWN. This area has experienced the greatest revitalization and is a mix of historic neighborhoods and modern skyscrapers. It also boasts many first-class restaurants and a thriving arts and business district.
2.   DOWNTOWN. This area has experienced a rebirth ever since the 1996 Olympic Games. It is home to some of the world’s biggest corporations like Coca-Cola, GA Pacific, BellSouth, and Turner Broadcasting.
3.   BUCKHEAD. This is a place where old Southern money meets young socialites. In other words this area is Atlanta’s answer to Beverly Hills. Here you can find some of the city’s oldest and stateliest homes - including the governor’s mansion.
4.   GRANT PARK. Just outside of Downtown, this newly revived area is home to mostly Craftsman bungalows and century-old American neighborhoods. It is experiencing a mini-boom as more suburbanites are feeling the gas crunch and want to move closer to work.
5.   LITTLE FIVE POINTS. This area can mostly be compared to New York’s Greenwich Village - filled with the sights and sounds of Bohemian life. Supported mainly by small independent businesses - boutiques, art galleries, theaters, etc - this area is usually teeming with students who live or go to school nearby.
6.   CABBAGETOWN. This once dilapidated area is being revitalized by a growing commercial contingency and adventurous homeowners. Newcomers are renovating old mill worker’s houses and turning them into artistic residences. Young families, professionals, and students are attracted by the affordable living.

Seven retail and restaurant businesses have committed to the retail center in Towne Lake just off exit 8 of interstate 575. The center will be called Madison Pointe and will be a 20 acre mixed use development. 28,000 square feet of shops and restaurants is slated for construction and will include Walgreens, Lee Nail Spa, Kayson’s Grille, Zucca’s Bar & Pizzeria, Five Guys and Roly Poly Sandwich Shop. Residents of Woodstock, Holly Springs and Canton will welcome the added convenience of shopping and eating out close to home! Along with the commercial development, 95 town homes are planned for the center also. With a location immediately off the interstate, the convenience of the commercial center, and the award winning schools - the residential construction will probably be bought out quickly. For more info on Woodstock or Cherokee County go to www.suesellshomes.com.

John Knox Elementary School opened this past August, 2008.  The school is located in the River Green subdivision in Canton, GA. The neighborhood motto “home is where the heart is” follows the vision of a planned community with everything you need located within the boundaries. River Green has different sections of homes - with varying sizes and pricing. Townhomes are also available. The elementary school and child care center are now open and operating. Two beautiful clubhouses with pools, fitness center and tennis courts are also completed. Almost all of the walking trails are finished and several of them meander along the Etowah River for a very scenic outing. Coming soon are a drugstore (CVS) and a grocery store - their opening dates have been moved up due to the building slow-down. Also other retail and restaurant shops will be coming to the community but have not been determined yet. “Home is where the heart is” is a great concept with the idea that once you make your commute home from work you do not have to leave your gorgeous neighborhood (RIVER GREEN) because everything you need is right where you live!

Ball Ground Georgia is a little city that is growing quickly. One of the best things about Ball Ground is its location - it is half-way between Canton and Jasper - with easy access to both cities from 575. Canton would be the city of choice to travel to from Ball Ground for medical care, hospitals, shopping and restaurants. From downtown Ball Ground traveling on 575 south would be about a 10 minute trip to Canton. Ball Ground is expecting a renovation of its downtown area soon. In keeping up with the quaint look of the area now - developers will be rebuilding with an eye to keep the historic and small town feel to the city. The area may be a mecca for active adult home buyers soon. Several developments are going up now with plans for golf cart trails, community centers and activities. Of course the area has always been a big draw for families. More house for your money, bigger lots, and good schools have attracted homebuyers to the area for years.
