Buckhead
State Of The Union: March 2015: A building by building update
It has been a while since I painted some color building by building. That said, I wanted to run through the latest happenings and prospects of various buildings around Midtown and Buckhead. For the most part, the economics remain the same. There is no new supply to the condo market, and as the economy improves month by month incremental buyers continue to enter the demand side of the equation. Of course I say there is no new supply, and there really has not been any condo building of over 40 units built in the past 8 years, but there is one development finally coming...
Opening price point high quality alternitives to renting in Midtown and Downtown
As many know I moved to Atlanta about 6 years ago. I had negotiated for 3 months of corporate housing, and after my first few weeks here I set out to look into housing options. What I found at that time was that the rental markets in both Midtown and Buckhead were quite expensive. I had predetermined that Midtown made the most sense for me. I really don’t know why I was so quick to shun Buckhead. At the time I think it was really just mostly the walkability aspect. Perhaps it was the early experiences in Atlanta. Staying at the Intercontinental Buckhead, I...
The Atlanta Dining Guide 2014!
As 2014 kicks off, I figured I would denote a few of my top picks in Atlanta. This is perhaps loose, perhaps a little less structured, but should at least have a place or two to put on your short list. Many of my clients are relocating to Atlanta, or are staying in one of my Corporate style, fully-furnished units that I either own or manage. Thus, I figured this would be a great resource for them going forward. Probably the best list that is continuously updated would likely be the Atlanta Magazine list. http://www.atlantamagazine.com/50bestrestaurants/home.aspx That said,...
August 2013 Best Condo Deals
OK, so I really have not been blogging as much as I would like given how busy I have been this summer. That said, I am going to try and starpooolt noting the best ATL Condo Deals monthly. This will a rough patch primarily focused on Atlanta Intown condos with a particular emphasis on Midtown, Buckhead, Atlantic Station and Inman Park. Below is a rough and loose cross section of the some of the best deals I have seen this month. As I last checked these condominiums were available. But given that they are good deals in a strong market, then may be gone now. These are not my listings...
State of the Union- July 2013 prices are still rising, but finally the rate of increase is slowing
OK so we are half way through Summer, and it is incredibly rainy here in Atlanta! It reminds me of my first summer in Dallas in 2007 where it seemed to rain nonstop for 6 weeks in the summer. Very wild. In any case, I do not know if it is the rain or the increase in interest rates but prices are finally not climbing as fast as before. PRICES ARE STILL CLIMBING THOUGH! The Atlanta Condo Deals are still there and Atlanta remains the cheapest condo market in the world when compared to per capita income! Let me start with the interest rates. Interest rates (defined...
New Construction Conodo Developments with Units Left. Few and far between!
Summer is here and as more and more people are calling me to purchase highrise condo and Lofts I am encountering more people asking me what Condo buildings still have brand new units for sale. With this posting I hope to outline the remaining availability of product choices in Atlanta. In the link below you will find all “New” condos currently listed in the FMLS as of May 22, 2013. http://fmls.fusionmls.com/DotNet/Pub/EmailView.aspx?r=1058516229&s=FML&t=FML Below is a loose outline of buildings, pricing and if they likely have lease permits for investors...
State of the Union- May 2013 Market continues to be the strongest since 2006! Everyone is moving ALL IN!
OK, so May 2013. I am just returning from a nice trip down to the Mexican Riviera. Ha, yes there is such a thing. Think something other than the wild Cancun and its mix girls gone wild 20 somethings and families from Alabama. Rather about 50-100 miles down the Yucatan coastline are nice quieter beaches with blue water and white sand. Resort inhabitants in this area tend to be Canadians (polite and talkative even if a bit boring), Europeans (wide range there no simple stereotype), as well as affluent Mexican and Latin Americans. Great relaxation and my current...

State of the Union- Market Update Q1 2013 – Up, Up, Up and Off to the races!
So where shall I begin. The Atlanta Real Estate market is now for sure up, up, up and away. A little less than 4 years ago I left a solid track record of corporate jobs and decided to dive into Real Estate as both an Investor and an Agent full time. The move was somewhat risky at the time, but would prove to be both exciting and at very least something new. Fast forward to 2013 and last year I was the top producing Agent out of a firm of over 100. My knowledge, expertise and care with regard to my client’s needs has helped me attain my role as one of the top...
Terraces At Peachtree
This is a great value right on Peachtree. This building was built in 1997 and offers tremendous values in terms of both 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms. 1 bedrooms start around $80,000 and 2 bedrooms start around $140,000.

HOA fees clock in at around 30 cents a square foot which is pretty affordable. ...
