Where's The Homes?

You might not have noticed this if you've already narrowed your search to a city or suburb.  However, if you're still looking at Atlanta Homes for sale, then you might be a bit frustrated.  The picture on the left shows every home with at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms listed for sale priced at under $100,000 (Do the same Atlanta Search we did).  We did eliminate about 90 Atlanta short sales that were obviously being mis-represented (no photo, poor pricing, poor descriptions).  

What we found so stricking was that there were hardly any homes inside the perimeter in what we call the "golden corridor"  Furthermore, we also noticed the Buckhead to Alpharetta line is still very much in effect, as you can almost no properties for 10 miles on each side of 400.  So what to take from this.

1. Less inventory means prices are going up! 
2. There's still a ton of great deals in the suburbs.
3. You still need to interview your short sale agent. 

River Club Short Sale Closes Without Deficiency!

The Jarvis Team just closed one of our short sales in the River Club in Suwanee (This is the most expensive and luxurious neighborhood in Gwinnett County by far).  This short sale was a Suntrust mortgage and although it took a few months and we went through 2 buyers, this  River Club short sale was closed and the owner didn't have a deficiency.  Meaning they didn't have to pay Suntrust back anything.  The debt was, of course, forgiven. 

I was excited to share this story with you because so often we hear stories about the "average" home that the majority of people in Gwinnett County live in, that you rarely hear about the "ultra" luxury homes being short sold.  However, I'm here to tell you, it wasn't easy but our team did it.  It was definitely a team effort for sure. 

So if you are a homeowner in Chateau Elan, Sugarloaf Country Club or anywhere else, you can short sale.  Just contact us today to find out more

I've started a best real estate buy list and e-mail my clients every week about what's the best deal on the market.  This week, I actually think out of all the Lawrenceville homes for sale, my listing is the best deal!! This home pictures located at 981 Sunhill Court, features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a full finished basements, updated "amenities" and hardwoods throughout.  What you might not know is that it features one of the nicest, largest, most private backyards I've ever seen, period.  All of this on a cul-de-sac lot inside  swim and tennis community located right off of HWY 124.

One of the reason I think this is a best buy is not because it's short sale, but rather because the size is so large for the money and the condition is so good and the lot is frankly so unique, it could sell for quite a bit more.
