South Fulton - Fariburn 30213 - Single Family Homes - Market Report for 2013 The 2013 real estate market for single family homes in Fairburn 30213 was quite remarkable.  Fairburn saw lots of new construction in throughout 2013 in existing subdivisions where activity had stopped during the down turn of 2009.  As a result of the new construction, average home prices shot up dramatically. Search Single Family Homes in Fairburn 30213 The average home price for a single family home in Fairburn 30213 in January was around $99,000.  In Deember the average home price was $153,000.  That is a 54% increase from the beginning of 2013 to the end of 2013.  And while we may see a slight dip in the average single family home price as we work through the beginning of Winter, I fully expect the average ...

2014 is Off to a GREAT Start!!!  Atlanta Buyers, Get in the Race NOW Metro Atlanta real estate has not slowed very much.  As a matter of fact 2014 is off to a really GREAT start, and good listings that are 'move in ready' or require minimum repairs are getting scooped up quickly by eager buyers. I have several buyer clients who have stepped up their efforts to get their finances in order this month and are in better shape to get the home they want.  Some have paid off significant debt to help them improve their Debt to Income ratio and qualify for more home.  Some have taken steps to improve their credit scores to help them cross the minimum credit score threshhold mortgage lenders look for.  Some are looking to become investors for the first time or to increase their real estate invest...

It's Fall Again And I Still Love The Colors Fall is a wonderful time of year.  We have enjoyed all of the fun of Summer, and now we are at a place of fresh change and renewal.  A lot can be said of our need for change in the colors displayed across the state in the Fall.  In Georgia we have the most beautiful colors displayed throughout the Fall of the year.  There are glistening hues of reds, oranges, yellows, silvers, browns, greens and many more.   I especially enjoy the North Georgia mountains during this time of year.  I never cease to be amazed at the natural beauty within the Fall colors.  While I don't particular care for the drop in temperatures, the colors keep us warm for a little while longer as we look for Winter to take its place in the pertpetual parade of the seasons.

So The Appraisal Of Your Fairburn GA Home Is Less Than Purchase Price.... This situation is one of those YIKES moments in the real estate business.  The buyer, the seller, and the agents are all excited anticipating a solid appraisal because we have all done our job in determining that the purchase price is in line with the sales of comparable properties.  The call comes to the buyer from the lender, "...looks like the appraisal is coming in at less than the purchase price..."  O.K.  So what are the options for the buyer of the Fairburn GA home? The buyer of the Fairburn GA has to consider these options to determine the outcome of the transaction - pay the difference between the purchase price and the appraised value, negotiate a compromise on the purchase price with the seller, or ask ...

South Fulton Parkway Traffic Diverted - Hollywood in South Fulton Today I went to my barber for a haircut - skin fade on the sides and back with a little left on top.  Anyways I approached South Fulton Parkway and saw orange signs everywhere pointing towards detour.  As I got closer to the intersection coming from Highway 92, I saw the scene in the picture below.  upon further questioning I found out that a movie was being filmed.  Something about drag racing.  Even though I did not see any celebs, the experience was neat.

Is Selling A HUD Home A Good Thing?   I recently read a comment on another post that said '...I will never sell a HUD home.'  Wow!  To me that was pretty strong.  And I know other agents who will never 'fool around' with a HUD contract.  There is a lot of coordination on the selling side of the transaction between getting the contract in on time, setting the property for inspection, and so forth.  I get it - some agents just do not want to be bothered with all of the 'steps'. However, I think it is a WONDERFUL thing to sell HUD homes for several reasons.   Selling a HUD Home helps our economy to be better.  Why?  The HUD Home is essentially a non performing asset sitting on the balance sheet of the US government.  Doesn't it make more sense to get that non performing asset off of the US...

Fairburn GA buyers, it's tax season, and that means many of us are expecting refunds when we file our income taxes.   One of the best ways to spend that refund check is to make it work buying a Fairburn GA home for you.  Whether you are a first time home buyer or an investor, the tax refund check can be a source of funds to help you purchase a new or additional property in Fairburn GA. If it is your first time buying a Fairburn GA home, consider using down payment assistance funds combined with your tax refund check.  Home prices are slowly rising in Fairburn GA, but you can still purchase a nice three bedroom, two bathroom home in Fairburn GA for less than $75,000.  And with the prevailing interest rates, your payments are sure to be less than what you pay in rent.  Give our office a c...

The Mortgage Debt Relief Act is a huge part of the 'fiscal cliff' debate across congress and across the nation.  Originally this legislation was passed in 2007 to help homeowners avoid owing a bunch of money to the IRS in the case of a short sale or foreclosure.  In the case of a short sale, the amount in question is the difference between what the property sold for and what the loan amount was.  S0 if you sold for $150,000,and the mortgage was $250,000, the taxable difference is $100,000. That difference may be taxable income in the eyes of the IRS, but the Mortgage Debt Relief Act says the homeowner does not owe taxes on this amount.   The Mortgage Debt Relief Act provides the relief for the primary residence of a seller.  Other properties you own may not be afforded the same protecti...

Bidding on HUD homes in Fairburn Georgia is a very competitive process.  Homes that are insurable under FHA guidelines get the most attention.  Of those homes, the ones with the least amount of repairs receive multiple bids on a consistent basis. In a multiple bid situation, how does HUD decide which bid wins for HUD homes in Fairburn Georgia?  There are two main factors.  First the Net to HUD, and second is the timing of the bid submission. So what do I mean by Net To HUD?  I will use an example of a HUD home in Fairburn Georgia listed for $135,000.  (NOTE: For HUD the initial list price is the same as the appraised value obtained to prepare the property for listing.)  And the property requires less than $500 in repairs. I represent you as the buyer of the HUD home in Fairburn Georgia....

Being a Successful Property Manager in Fairburn GA - Routine Inspections A part of being a successful property manager in Fairburn GA lies in how you manage your properties after you have obtained the management agreement.  A good property manager in Fairburn GA will visit their listings on a regular basis and perform routine inspections.  Here are three reasons for conducting routine property inspections for properties in Fairburn GA. Number One - property managers want to insure that the vacant listings in Fairburn GA are in the same shape as when they first marketed the property for lease.  When conducting inspections of vacant properties, we like to check the inside and outside, especially after other agents have had showings.  Look for lights left on, doors left open and other simi...

South Fulton Homeowners - Don't Walk, Let's Talk I know it's tough to be a homeowner in South Fulton and see the home prices so much below what you paid before the problem started in 2008.  And not only are values down, but you tried to do a loan modification and got turned down.  That was after spending hours on the phone, repeatedly faxing requested documentation over and over again, and waiting for what seemed like forever to get an answer from your bank about your South Fulton home. South Fulton Homeowners - Don't Walk, Let's Talk So at this point you may be considering walking away from your South Fulton home.  Just saying 'to heck with it,' packing your personal property and loading up the truck to head out for greener pastures.  After all it does not look like your home's value w...
