August 23rd, 2010 categories: Alpharetta, Builders & Architects, Milton
Milton Georgia city officials announced an increase in building permits
for the first half of 2010 against the first half of 2009.
Noting a 54% increase from last year, Lynn Tully, Milton’s director
of community development, said it does appear that building and
new home construction in Milton, Georgia is back on the rise, however cautiously.
2009 To New Properties In Alpharetta And Milton
Labor costs are at an all time low, and when you couple that with
30 year fixed mortgage rates that are now hovering around 4%,
you have motivated buyers that may have been sitting on the fence
just a short time ago.

With down payment incentives and lower prices for construction,
new homes are coming back as an option for first time home buyers
as well as move ups. Couple that with developers that have been
scooping up undeveloped tracts of land at distressed prices, as evidenced by
the purchase of Milton Place and Vickery Springs in Alpharetta, Georgia by Sharp Residential,
we are starting to see those familiar “New Homes For Sale” signs
in North Atlanta starting to dot our landscape once again.

Tree Huggers Unite In Milton Georgia!
August 15th, 2010 categories: Deborah's Scrapbook, Milton, The Garden Shed
The Milton Tree Ordinance passed by City Council!
Great news for all of us that were lured to the beautiful city of Milton by the abundance of rolling landscapes, farms and wooded nature. The city council of Milton Georgia has approved a new law that regulates how trees are to be handled on properties.
For any tree over 15 inches in diameter, (which is about the circumference of a persons thigh) the property owner will need permission to chop it down. The ordinance was crafted “to further ensure and preserve the rural characteristic in the city of Milton by retaining as many of our trees as we can”, said Lynn Tully, the Milton GA community development director.
The ordinance, which has working its way through the city council since 2008, also provides for the regulation and approval of tree removal companies who specialize in this area. The ordinance recently passed unanimously.

Has The GA Real Estate Market Bottomed Out? Great Homes Available! Mortgage Rates Low! My Opinion YES!
August 9th, 2010 categories: BUYERS only, Real Estate Forum, SELLERS only
History is being made! Opportunities abound in the Real Estate Market around North Atlanta Georgia with the lowest Mortgage Rates ever recorded!
Mortgage interest rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgages for the week ending August 5th, averaged 4.49 percent, the lowest it has been since Freddie Mac’s weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey began in 1971.
The all time low for the average 30 year rate in the Alpharetta area came with an average .07 point,(cost to fund the loan). One year ago, the rate in the North Atlanta GA area averaged 5.22 percent, which is almost three quarters of a point cheaper. If buyers are sitting on the fence, now is the time to purchase the home you have always dreamed of. If you’re looking at a 15 year fixed or 5 year adjustable, those rates are at historical low levels as well. 15 year fixed is at 3.95 percent and 5 year adjustable is at an incredible 3.63 percent, at time of post.
I recognize a lot of people are concerned that in order to buy their next home, they have to sell the one they are living in first, with the additional stress of worrying about not getting full value in today’s market. While that may be true, if you are moving up, you will still get to realize the tremendous savings as the home you are buying is in the same situation with that homeowner, meaning the house has to be priced in today’s current market, and there will be equity when the market turns!
Based on your North Atlanta Neighborhood, we have seen some area’s where homes and properties maintained their value through the last few years. If interested in knowing what your home is worth, Call or email me, DeborahWeiner@Northatlantahomes.org, and I can provide you with a quick Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on what you can expect to receive from a sale of your home. This can be emailed to you for your review.
Personally, for me, my incoming emails from customers looking to take advantage of the current mortgage rates, and phone calls related to real estate properties, are picking up every day. I surround myself with a professional staff of mortgage bankers for my buyers to get pre-qualified, complete MLS listings of all properties including foreclosures and new homes by local builder, and a team of great agents.
My Real Estate BLOG has curious subscribers keeping on top of the areas of North Fulton Real Estate, Cherokee County Golf Communities and possible Short Sales and Forsyth County deals on Town Homes, Estates and more. Enjoy your Journey To Home and enjoy my Real Estate BLOG site at www.AllGeorgiaRealty.com. Feel free to call or email me as well for your free CMA or to have homes, that match your criteria, sent to you through a Client Gateway from the local Georgia MLS.
