Gwinnett

After seeing the increase in sales from September, 2007 v. September, 2008, I was very curious to see the final numbers for October.  I knew that September ‘07 was a slow month because of the closing delays due to the “Sub-Prime Mortgage Meltdown” (SPMM).  I also knew that October ‘07 was a stronger month than

The Case-Shiller Index of home prices came out yesterday.  It is an interesting index because it concentrates of resales and looks at the new prices of properties that have previously sold.  In theory, it is tracking the same houses over time to see what values are doing. In looking at the methodology, I think that there [...]

I love the internet! Where else could you advertise something for nothing and have it exposed to literally millions of people? There are hundreds if not thousands of sites you can use to sell anything, including real estate. About a year ago I started using Craigslist and about 10 other free sites to advertise my listings but until then relied heavily on the MLS to sell these listings. I giv

On Sunday, November 16th from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, we will make our final stop on our 2008 grassroots publicity tour at Simon Properties’ Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, Georgia. As always, we’ll set up our gigantic marketing display and give away publications, client brochures and postcards showcasing many of metro Atlanta’s top attorneys, dentists, [...]

I just put the finishing touches on the November, 2008, Gwinnett County Georgia Market Report.  It is pretty interesting.  For the first time in a while there is something that was unexpected that snuck in on me..

The 2008 Gwinnett Football League is underway!  In 2007, the league fielded 266 football and cheerleading teams and had over 1068 games.  Can you imagine having to schedule all of those games!?  If you’re looking for some very inexpensive entertainment on a Saturday, there are 16 parks having games every weekend for the next eight

Today when we got to preschool, we discovered that the school would be closed for the day due to power issues. And the energetic 4 year old needs to get out and do some things… today was rainy and cold…  So, we decided to run out to Discover Mills and wander around.  One of the things

I will have the Market Report for Gwinnett County in the next day or two, but I thought I would leak a little of the information.  New Listings are quite close to last year… 1991 v 1993 new listings. Pendings are slightly higher than last year… 721 v 705 pendings… that is up 2%. Days on Market [...]

  The definition of a short sale has nothing to do with the time it takes to sell your home in this market. Rather, a short sale is the agreement of your lender to negotiate a sales price for your home that is less than what you actually owe. It can be an alternative to foreclosure but is a very lengthy and tricky process that not all homeowners will qualify for. I've put together a short qu

If you live here in Gwinnett County Georgia I don't have to tell you about how great the parks are. This post is for the benefit of the folks that might be thinking of moving to the area. Usually parks are not a consideration for a buyer but with all the great facilities here it is definitely a perk and should be noted so here it goes. (I promise I'm not being paid anything for this post!!)  

Check out this great three bedroom, two and a half bath end unit condo in Lawrenceville Ga in Northeast Atlanta. This is a foreclosure but in great shape. It's not quite move in ready but for the price would be a great investment for any first time buyer or someone looking for very low maintenance living. The location is great being only two miles from hwy 316 and Gwinnett County Airport. Only 5 m

I hate to toot my own horn, but if I don’t, I doubt that my competition will…  So, here it goes. When the AJC needed perspective on Gwinnett real estate… Their reporter called me.  Apparently, I was inescapable…  I do write monthly market reports, and I don’t pump sunshine…  I tell it like it is.  If it [...]

Special Thanks & Prayers Go Out To GWINNETT COUNTY AND NORCROSS PARAMEDICS, FIREFIGHTERS POLICE. I was approached by one of my faithful readers, Mary, who they saved her life and took her to Emory Hospital.  Thank God that they were there to take care of her and that they continue to save lives daily.

Please note - While the market reports serve a vital function, providing info about the local market conditions… they are kind of dry. So, I’m looking for ways to get the info across in a complete, but more entertaining way. This is first in a series of market reports over the next few [...]

… on GarageHomesUSA.  Wander over and take a look.  Here is a direct link to the report. I was hoping that we would be seeing stronger indicators of the housing recovery at this point… we’ll have to wait for the final April numbers. Wander over and take a look at the report.

I try to sneak into the local MLS every few eeks and take a look at the overall picture of 4+car garage properties available in Gwinnett County, GA. There are generally a good selection, in fact there is generally a better selection than most of the other counties in Metro Atlanta. Please [...]

I have loaded the new Gwinnett County Market Report onto GarageHomesUSA. The news is mixed… and that is better than all bad. Good. Days on Market went down. Listed/Sold % went up. New Listings down from last year. Bad. Absorption Rates not good yet. Sales still down from last year. Listed/Sold % still weak. Days on Market needs to drop more. For the real story, follow [...]

Back on October 6th I founded the Gwinnett County For Mike Huckabee Meetup group. It was a leap of faith for me. I did not feel I was the best person suited to lead in this fashion. However I did know that a group needed to be started in my area, and especially in Metro Atlanta area before it got too late. Almost a month later we are 25 members strong! It appears I am in this for the long haul! Our next meeting will be tomorrow afternoon for lunch at the local IHOP and after that we will be doing our "15 Minutes for Mike" as we wave signs at the busy intersection of Lawrenceville-Suwanee and Highway 120. What's up for us after tomorrow? It will probably be "Shout About Mike Day" on Wednesday November 28th. Stay tuned for pictures and a writeup about tomorrow's event tomorrow evening. I won't be home until late in the day due to other activities I have going on after the Meet.
