New website for The Flats At Riverwalk at Wildwood Park~North Atlanta

2009-02-04T13:09:00.005-05:00

THE FLATS AT RIVERWALK~A NORTH ATLANTA CONDOMINIUM COMMUNITY

CLICK HERE TO VIEW ALL THE UNITS FOR SALE IN THE FLATS AT RIVERWALK

The Flats At Riverwalk are located just inside Wildwood Park off Windy Hill Road and
Powers Ferry Road...click here to see an aerial map view. The "flats" are adjacent to the
1200 acre Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. The Flats At Riverwalk garner
an Atlanta address and are flanked by two other very prestigious and desirable Townhome
Communities in Wildwood Park, namely Riverstone At Wildwood and
Riverwalk At Wildwood and built by Ashton Woods Homes.
Living in Wildwood is like living in a city park, with sidewalks throughout, and minimal
traffic. Wildwood is, in my opinion a highly desirable place to live,
surrounded with and wrapped in natural beauty
yet all the conveniences of shopping and Cultural venues right around the corner with the
ease of access to Interstates 75 and 285.
The Flats at Riverwalk are located in two locations within the park;
one section is just on the left when you enter into the park on Windy Hill and the other
about 1/4 mile further in on the left. Both are nestled in the woods. The Community
offers a private swimming pool and tennis courts. Each building consists of 4 stories and
lend themselves to a traditional architecture with a touch of craftsman styling. If you are
looking for either a one to three bedroom executive style condo with extremely favorable
prices and situated in a most desirable and prestigious park then The Flats at Riverwalk
should be on your "must see" list!

Cobb County Georgia Foreclosures..We all want a Deal

2009-02-02T13:13:00.005-05:00

Yes, we all want a great deal on a home in the current market! Who can blame us!?!. If, in fact, you are, first, looking at finding your home by searching through the many foreclosures...BE PREPARED to jump fast, as well priced foreclosures go quickly.

I have been noticing that there is an increasing number of homes that are being bought up by Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Mortgage Corporation). These homes are, by far, the "Best Values" of the foreclosures in the Cobb County, Ga area, which includes Smyrna, "Vinings", Marietta, Mableton, Kennesaw, Austell, Powder Springs, Acworth and "East Cobb where some homes have Atlanta addresses. Not only are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac owned properties "Best Value" foreclosures" but they don't get tangled in the red tape typically associated with foreclosures; they are priced well under market value and close quickly. One must be aware of the fact that with these foreclosures comes an "AS IS" stipulation (no property disclosusre or pest inspection, etc.). Choose a home inspector ahead of searching; one who can jump in and inspect the property ASAP. As for money to purchase; at the very least one must be prequalified, meaning that the mortgage company takes you at your word as to income(s) and liabilities and qualifies you on your word only and does not necessarily mean you will get the loan; the mortgage company might find something in underwriting later that you missed letting them know, etc. If you are smart, you will ask to be preApproved, meaning the money is ready and approved for your found foreclosure. Why? Because the one who presents the best offer, which includes price, showing documentation of PreAprroval by a mortgage company, has sufficient down payment and can close the earliest will take the property. So be prepared, if you are serious about purchasing a foreclosure.

The first place we are searching for foreclosures is on the web...a great place to start. Yes, you are right, there are many foreclosure websites. Find one that takes you directly to what is available in your given area without a lot of "run around"...Staying updated with the "Best Value" foreclosusres means knowing what properties become available without delay and being prepared to jump on a "Best Value" ASAP. My COBB COUNTY FORECLOSURE SITE will show you all the Cobb County Foreclosures listed on the Multple Listing Service with more sites to search being added frequentlly.

I have created a "Best Value"list of foreclosed Townhomes in Cobb County which is a list that are the best values in foreclosures for the week. and updated frequently. You can even request a weekly list of these townhomes on the site

So, if you are seeking to possibly purchase a foreclosure, be prepared, so as to intelligently jump on a foreclosure, because, remember, in the current housing market every one is looking for a bargain and foreclosures are what most are looking at first which makes the purchasing very competitive. If you may have questions on preparedness call me if you are seeking a home in the Cobb County Ga area and I will give you some of the best guidance available whether it be a foreclosure or a "normal" sale.

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

2008-03-11T23:38:00.000-04:00

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

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

2008-02-23T10:32:00.001-05:00

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!

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

2008-02-21T12:38:00.001-05:00

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

2008-02-12T12:57:00.000-05:00

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

2008-01-18T21:29:00.000-05:00

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
