Looking at the most recent information provided by Trend Graphics (using the First Multiple Listing Service statistics), in zip code 3005 the average days on market in April 2008 was 92. The average price of homes for sale was $660,000. and for homes sold was $412,000. In Foxhall subdivision, the average asking price of homes currently listed is $447,100. I don't see any current sales on the First Multiple Listing Service. The most recent was 11/10/07 and it sold for $385,000 - 91 days on the market. Then the next was on 7/3/07 and it sold for $405,000 - 178 days on the market. There was a property at 130 Penwick Drive that was listed and expired (did not sell) on 4/8/08. It was listed for $488,500.
I hope this helps you. - Sat May 24 2008, 08:07

The good news is there are lots of choices... the bad news. it's very confusing. My suggestion... start with what is most important... if that is the best schools, then as others have indicated, Alpharetta, Roswell and Suwanee are where you should be. If the house size itself is most important, that may alter your selection. You didn't mention a price range... and that could make a difference on where you decide to live. Do you want to be in a swim-tennis subdivision? Do you want a large yard? Do you want a new house or is an older home OK? There are lots of different factors... Let me know the price range and I can give you more ways to narrow your search. - Tue May 20 2008, 11:39

I just did a search in the 30004 zip code... 20 single family homes and 70 townhomes/condos are availble for sale. With more info on your specifications you can narrow it down to something that fits your needs. You can do you own search at the link below. I can offer lots of first time buyer information from a seminar I do... feel free to contact me for further information. - Mon May 19 2008, 13:50

It's a great time to buy! But with that said, it depends on your situation... will you be staying here for more than a couple of years? How much will payments be for a rental vs a purchase? Do you have money (3% of the purchase price) for a downpayment? Look at the whole picture before making a decision.
I've included a link to a video you may find helpful. - Sun May 11 2008, 12:34

Without seeing your townhome, I would say there are other factors more important than the Super Target construction that will affect your sale price. The construction of other townhomes like yours in the area give buyers more to choose from. With all the townhomes on the market now, yours will need to stand out to be sold. It can stand out by being in perfect condition or having the best price or having the best location. Maybe the Super Target will attract a buyer who will work there. If you are thinking of moving, my suggestion is to invite a couple of real estate agents out to see your property and give you a market analysis. That way you will have something upon which to base your decision. Also consider where you will move... you probably can get a great deal on a house now and save more than if you wait. Interest rates remain low now and that may not last too much longer. Check out the link below for further information. - Fri May 2 2008, 12:29
