September 2014 most attractive condo listings
September is here! I am busy working with a wide variety of clients, and up posting a few new listings this week. No travel the next few months, work is busy, busy. I have intentions of getting this blog back in gear, and posting more often. In the meantime I wanted to highlight a few of what I perceive to be the best values currently in Residential Intown Condo Real Estate. W Residences Unit 2206 3/3.5 $953,500 2761 Sq. Ft. This is a premier corner 3 bed, 3.5 bath at the W. Unlike the other two Atlanta W Hotels, this property was built as a W, as opposed to the...
The Atlanta Housing Market is on the Rise!
The Atlanta housing market is rapidly improving. I wanted to post this recent article by Metrostudy denoting a 10% year over year increase. Wow! Please the read the article below! Due to strong demand and limited supply of both new and resale houses, home prices could rise by as much as 10% in 2013. Net job growth may push this number even higher. According to a recent report by Metrostudy, a national housing intelligence and consulting firm that maintains the most extensive primary database on residential construction in the US housing market, “Net jobs in Atlanta through December...
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...

Viewpoint
This building, which opened in 2008, is now sold out. It was the best selling building in Midtown. I purchased my unit in January 2009 and am VERY happy with my 25th floor unit. The value is definitely there in terms of views, quality of people, amenities package, and the quality of construction for the price. It is my opinion that Viewpoint and 1010 will be buildings that people will be talking about well into the future. The sky was falling when I contracted to purchase my unit in December 2008. So why did I purchase? Because I knew that this building, being one of the tallest, newest, and nicest...
State of the Union June 2012
OK, so yes, Summer 2012 is here! Most segments of intown real estate bottomed out last year. Specifically, intown condo and attached properties up to around $300K have rebounded strongly. Of course, a large percentage of sales in and below the $100K range are cash. In my business, I am seeing most of my lower-tiered sales below $100K are cash. This is very reflective of the market as a whole. In general, properties at these levels are frequently plagued by poor appraisals, HOA/FHA/Building lawsuits, or assessments, so cash is often the only way to get a deal through at those levels since...
Luxe
Luxe is a newer Midtown highrise with luxurious, modern homes. With 22 stories and 116 homes, these 1 and 2 bedroom condos are larger than most others in the area and range in size from 900 to 2975 square feet. Interior features include stainless steel Bosch appliances, granite countertops, recessed lighting, double vanities in the master bath, 10-12’ ceilings, and more. The large terraces have been strategically placed to provide the ultimate view of the midtown skyline. Building amenities at Luxe include a sauna, swimming pool with poolside cabanas, outdoor kitchen, and fitness center. The...
Aqua Condos in Atlanta GA – Atlanta Condo Deals
Aqua is a great building with a private elevator to each unit. The building came to market late 2007 and into 2008, and had to go to auction to sell out. Many owners took a beating as prices crashed even lower than the auction prices. The good news now is the condo is on the mend, the HOA is strong, the owners standing look like they are a strong group, and the building is heading in the right direction. Currently there are three two-bedroom resales for $385K-$400K. There are also some larger three-bedroom penthouse units (22nd and 24th floor) around $1 million. The building is further from the...
Park Central
This is a large (in terms of number of units) highrise in Midtown. For those seeking a good value, perhaps not all of the glitz of the newer glass buildings, this can be a great value. Converted to condos in 1999 2 bedrooms of around 1000 square feet to 1150 square feet list for $199,900 to around $229,900. Being on Juniper, and just 1 block from Piedmont Park makes these highly desirable in terms of riding the Macro Midtown Condo wave higher. Units here are basically the only highrise 2 bedrooms that can be found between 4th and 15th street below $220,000. Given that stat...
Midtown Atlanta
This area is a prime, A-number-one area to live in Atlanta as far as I’m concerned. The following reasons should help explain why. First, it is the most walkable area in the city. Walkability scores in condo markets like New York and San Francisco have more effect on property values than schools or any other factors (Google this because it’s one of the biggest deals when considering buying a condo). In my opinion, Atlanta is still in the first quarter in recognizing this truth in valuing condos and the condo market as a whole. The second quarter will come when we hit $5.00 per gallon in gas...
