Cherokee and Cobb County Neighborhoods

The Towne Lake area of Woodstock GA remains a very sought after area for home buyers “after all these years.” Towne Lake was developed in the early 1990’s and contains 10 or more separate subdivisions that range from the low 100’s up to one million dollars. It was one of the first planned development communities in Cherokee County — with schools, restaurant, shopping and medical facilities all available in the circle of different neighborhoods. Most of the neighborhoods are amenities communities — with pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and several even offer golf! Lake Allatoona is not far away–and there are nature trails that lead down to the lake all over the area. Exit 8 off of 575 leads you directly into this Cherokee County community and Downtown Woodstock is a short drive away also. Right now there are 35 homes for sale in the Towne Lake area that are priced at 150K or under. These are foreclosures, HUD homes, corporate owned etc. but offer you a great opportunity to buy a home in a fantastic Cherokee community at a price lower than when it was originally built.

The summer “rush” is over and there is still a lot of great inventory out there in Cherokee, Cobb and Forsyth counties.  Unfortunately the rate of short sales and foreclosures does not seem to be slowing down here in NW Georgia — so more homes at incredible prices are showing up daily.   Loan requirements have tightened up but there are still many options out there for buyers with little or no cash for a down payment.  At my last closing the buyer got a 4.125 interest rate on a 5 year old property that was a great price and offered a 2 year home warranty! (in a very sought after Cherokee County school district too!).  The temperatures are cooling but the great home prices and interest rates are not — so don’t let this opportunity slip by. Call now or email and I will set you up on your own program where you can conduct your own mls searches.  It’s new and clients are loving it!!  WWW.SUESELLSHOMES.NET is also a great site to conduct your own North GA home searches.

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.

Fall Alta season is right around the corner and it reminds me of how important TENNIS is here in Atlanta.  The Alta member book used to be bigger than most cities phone book.  (now it is on-line)  There are many subdivisions in the greater Atlanta area that cater to tennis players — and being an avid tennis player myself I do keep up with that area of the real estate market.  Of course you have all levels of neighborhood commitment:  from one lonely unlighted court — to 30 courts, clay and hard surface with numerous full-time tennis pros and grandstand seating!!  Whatever level of tennis player you are — if you are looking for a neighborhood to pursue your favorite past time in, give me a call.  Also it is a fantastic way to meet your neighbors and make new friends.  Many of my friends to this day are team mates from my first tennis team from back when I moved to Atlanta in 1986.  Call or email and I will be happy to supply you with all the tennis info you want or any other real estate needs you may have.

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!!

It may seem like time to hit the panic button for the Tax Credit — but the April 30th timeline is deceiving.  You do have to be in a BINDING CONTRACT by April 30th — but you dont actually have to close on the transaction until July 1st, 2010.   There is the $8000 tax credit for the first time homebuyer.  This does not have to be paid back — but the home must be occupied by the buyer for a minimum of 3 years.  The move-up tax credit does not just apply to buying a more expensive home — it just includes present homeowners in the fun!  This tax credit is for $6500 and again the home buyer must occupy the new home for a minimum of 3 years.  If it is not possible to occupy the home this long you will have to pay back some of the tax credit on a pro-rated basis — depending on how long you did live there.  The income limits for this credit are fairly liberal — I won’t go into all the numbers in this article — but email me at sueboughton@remax.net or call me at 678-549-4949 and I will forward information to you that explains everything in very understandable language.  It would be a pity to not take advantage of discount home prices — the lowest interest rates in history — and this tax credit combined — so call now and get set up on an email program where you can view all the homes that match whatever criteria you enter into the search.

>евтини мебели  OFFICIAL!!!  The tax credit has been extended for First Time Home Buyers.  AND a great caveat is that present HOMEOWNERS may also be eligible for a tax credit up to $6500!!  YEAH!!!  The extension will last until April 30, 2010 …. but buyers have 60 days after this date to close as long as they are under contract by the 30th of April.  With present homeowners the tax credit is available as long as they have been in the home as their principal residence for five years or more.  There are still 100% loans available and some funding programs so if you thought you missed the boat for Nov 30th …. you didn’t.  Come back on board & give me a call…. you can start your search knowing this is still a fantastic buyers market….rates are still amazingly low…. and the inventory of available homes is huge!  Call me at 678-549-4949 and I will email you a list of homes that match your criteria today!!
