New Cobb County GA FORECLOSURE website


With the increasing number of Foreclosures coming on the market we decided to create a site dedicated to Foreclosures in the Cobb County, Ga area giving Sellers more exposure and Buyers a place to see all the foreclosures listed on the Multple Listing Service (MLS) in a simple and direct format with easy access to chat live or call a Real Estate profession to ask questions and/or schedule a showing because good deals can go fast therefore ease of access is important. Not only will this help reduce housing inventory but provide some extremely good deals for Buyers and even help to stabilize the housing market. The new Cobb County Foreclosure Site has no gimmicks to lure you in and then try to charge a fee for access. It is a no nonsense site dedicated to helping Sellers move inventory and Buyers buy at great deals. And I am here to help you with the process from start to finish, plain and simple! It can be a WIN WIN situation for all involved and most importantly can improve our housing market, thus the economy and hence your economy.

At the time of this post interest rates are around 5.125%(click on rate for most current interest rate, as it changes daily and even can change throughout each day).There are numerous financial options that have been made available to help Buyers purchase, even with little down and in some cases nothing down.

Palladian Manor...The new secret treasure in Smyrna, GA

Being a Townhome specialist, I preview every new townhome community in Cobb county. Coming from a Construction background I scrutinize heavily down to the very minute details. I must say that of all the townhomes I have previewed in the entire metro atlanta region, Palladian Manor Townhomes stands out as the shining example of attention to every detail...from copper plumbing to exterior maintenance and moulding details...excellence in construction exudes itself in every corner. The deck construction detail is exceptional in that they use the relatively maintenance free material, TREC on horizontal surfaces where water tends to lay...a definite showing of attention to detail and maintenance free living. These are a must see for buyers looking to be close in to Atlanta but far enough away in the woods to have it all.


Here are links to their websites... Palladian Manor and Palladian Manor 2


Showing one of these townhomes is a certain pleasure... if you are a Real Estate Professional you owe it your future potential clients to preview these beautifully thought out floorplans with superior construction


If you are a buyer, looking for excellent construction in a townhome call me for your private showing!

Home Buyers Be AWARE...NOW may really be your time to Buy that home!


Home Buyers...just shy of a month ago interest rates were at 5.25% on average and now hover around 6%. On a $200,000 home with a 30 year fixed mortgage that equates to an additional $94.70 a month more than a month ago and means, based on a 5.25% rate vs a 6% rate a house worth $17,150.00 more in upgrades on a new home or the eqivalent in more home if you are looking to buy a resale. Don't beleive me...then click HERE and use a mortgage calculator and see for yourself!

HOME BUYERS...MAKE YOURSELF AWARE


With the latter in mind, consider this...we are coming into a spring market where there will be more buyers looking for homes which will begin to stabalize listing prices on existing homes and new builds for a period, but moreover, consider this...Lenders (investors) have taken quite a hit with foreclosures and short sales and even though the Federal Reserve has lowered the rate they charge banks for loans, long term interests rates are rising. Do you wonder why? Of course you do! Investors (Lenders) have lost a great deal of money and are attempting to recoup some of their losses by raising the bar on credit scores and down payments and most importantly borrowing money at a low low rate and increasing long term rates to recoup these losses. What does this mean to you? It means that you should put your thinking cap on and read and reread this post and get your Real Estate agent searching for that home you have been putting off ... NOW! Interest rates are still good at this time but the trend is that they may continue to increase as lenders attempt to recoup their losses from foreclosures on the backs of buyers...so jump in and Buy. In this current market, he/she who hesitates will take losses!


have more questions or concerns???

HOME BUYER ALERT...mortgage rates continue to rise..go buy that home NOW

Home Buyers...NOW may very well be the time to make the leap to home ownership as Mortgage rates continue to climb for two distinct reasons... investors fear continued inflation while banks and Mortgage Companies, because of the slew of foreclosures are moving interest rates higher to recoup their losses. You will not hear Lenders speak about increasing mortgage rates because of the increasing losses they are incurring because of foreclosures they are eating but you can bet that is the reason they are. Since foreclosures are still on the increase and mortgage rates are very likely tied to the increase, NOW may be the best time to get out with your Real Estate Agent and find that home.


Here is a link to the changes of interest rates over the last three months:

Releif for HomeOwners facing Foreclosure

Great News is beginning to surface for HomeOwners nearing Foreclosure. Anything that the government can do to lessen the blow helps all housing market sectors. This is a very important move NOW because even the mortgage Insurances guarantors are teetering on closing up shop for home mortgages which would be a very serious blow to the housing economy! This will mean seeing less homes in the Cobb county Georgia area go back to banks....looks like we are beginning to see some very smart movement! In the end for investors in Securities, banks and homeowners in general, it's about the long term conequences if everybody does not compromise and bite a smaller bullet as opposed to sitting tight, doing nothing and bite the cannon ball down the road, so to speak!


Better it be that Investors take less of a blow now than have to unload a multitude of foreclosures and really loose money.


The Bush administration, facing a worsening housing slump, has announced a new initiative that is aimed at helping homeowners about to lose their homes by putting the foreclosure process on hold for 30 days.

Donald Trump VIDEO on the Housing Market

Hi everyone...

I just finished watching a very interesting video of a conversation between Donald Trump and Jim Cramer of CNBC on the state of the housing market.

This video is particularly interesting because of Trumps concept of the relationship between interest rates and the price of OIL.

Listen to Donald talk about the Oil Monopoly
