What a dreary day in ATH. It has been raining for three straight days, but I kind of like it. My daughter loves it, but I only kind of like it because I just keep thinking about the gutters and downspouts, drainage, the shedding of water off the roof near the chimney, and other homeowner [...]

Athens, GA Housing Market Improving! I Kind of had a Hunch…
Posted in Joe's Posts, real estate in the media, sellers on December 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If things go well, I am looking to have December be my best month of 2011. Never thought I’d write a sentence like that, but business has picked up noticeably in the 4th Quarter in the Athens Area. It is still extremely challenging to keep deals moving towards an actual closing, but that has a [...]
Short Sales in the Athens, GA Regional Area: No Different than Elsewhere in the Nation.
Posted in buyers, Joe's Posts, real estate in the media, taxes on June 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Excellent piece on short sales on NPR today. Hits the nail squarely on the head, and at this risk of sharing this with the millions of readers of this blog, resulting in a grinding halt to the economic turnaround currently being propelled by the 8000.00 fed tax credit and the new 1500.00 state tax credit, [...]

Despite all the not posting I have been doing, the world continues to present an increasing number of interesting topics worthy of comment. But for now, I want to blog a bit about three things in the next week (an ambitious goal to be sure). First, what happened to the real estate market being [...]

A couple days ago, The National Trust for Historic Preservation announced its 2009 list of a dozen unique cites to visit for a less than usual travel experience. Those of us who live here can attest to the fact that this is a unique place to live, and therefore, visit. When I think of a [...]

I thought this was an interesting piece in the Times today. If you are a first time buyer just sitting on the side lines, waiting to jump in, man do you have the world on a string! Good Points: The fallacy of timing the market to get in at the lowest price possible. That “trough” [...]

With all the talk about the credit market “drying up,” one might think that buying a house, especially for first time homebuyer, might be a thing of the past and a thing of the future, but not a thing right now. Talking to a couple lenders recently, we came to the conclusion that the media [...]
One Person’s Perspective on the Athens Real Estate Market
Posted in buyers, Joe's Posts, real estate in the media, sellers on November 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This article was in the most recent Flagpole, and it concerns what we are experiencing here in ATH compared to other areas of the nation. In one area of the article, it states as opinion that home prices haven’t so much fallen as remained flat in ATH. I disagree with this somewhat broad-stroke statement, but [...]

Nouriel is a professor of economics at NYU, and he was part of a panel discussion called something like Real Estate Predictions: Bull or Bear. As you can [...]
