It has been a pretty cold winter here in Cherokee County in NW GA — Canton, Holly Springs, Jasper, Woodstock and Ball Ground have all had their fair share of snow and ice. To help relieve some of the utility bills we are all suffering through I am providing some tips you may find handy: 1. Check weather stripping around doors and windows — caulk or recaulk as necessary. 2. Change your filters in your HVAC regularly! 3. Insulate your water heater. A water heater blanket from HD or Lowes can be purchased for under $20. 4. Let the sun shine in! Don’t keep the drapes and blinds closed during those sunny afternoons. 5. And lastly–try to keep the thermostat as low as is comfortable. GA power recommends 68 degrees. That may seem low but if you wear sweats and socks at home you should be okay. Also you might be surprised that you will get fewer colds and sore throats without breathing in all that hot air all day and especially when you sleep at night. I hope these tips help and if you need any real estate information I hope you call or email me: Sue Boughton 678-549-4949 sueboughton@remax.net

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!

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.
