Wow!  In case you thought I had a typo in the price I do not.  I typically wait until Friday to post great deals and values on Buckhead Real Estate but this one could not wait as it will be Under Contract for sure by Friday.  This is a 3 Bedroom 2 Bath home in popular Peachtree Park for only $240k!!! 

In case you are not familiar with the area that is an incredible deal for that neighborhood.  It is a foreclosure and sold as is.  I am experienced with Short Sales and Foreclosures so if you are interested in seeing this one and working with an experienced agent reach out to me ASAP at bargainsinbuckhead@gmail.com so we can go check this one out.

Are you or a friend looking for a home in the Virginia Highlands and haven’t found what you wanted yet?  I have exclusive access to a home not on the market that is a 3/3 with a finished basement and attached two car garage.  It also has a fenced back yard and decks on both the front and back of the house.  

Curious on the price or want to  take a sneak peak of this home or any others I feature on Buckhead Real Estate Bargains page just email me at bargainsinbuckhead@gmail.com.

Curious where buyers are looking for homes?  I found this chart to be very interesting in tracking the trends over the past 8 years of how the market has shifted from print to the Internet.  The importance of an agent utilizing Internet marketing is critical for the success of reaching buyers.  71% if this pie represents your agent and their online marketing.

If you are thinking about selling your home I would love to discuss with you my customized Internet marketing plan for you and your neighborhood.

ON THE FENCE ABOUT LISTING YOUR HOME NOW OR WAITING UNTIL SPRING?

Selling a home in the dead of winter might seem ill-advised, particularly considering the state of the economy, but some experts think that making the decision to wait until spring to list the property could be a mistake. Government incentives will likely have a big impact in 2010, with many buyers determined to sign a contract before the April 30 tax credit deadline. “This year, we’re anticipating sales will peak earlier,” says Nicole Hall, editor in chief of Lendingtree.com, an online home loan comparison service. “The best time to get your house on the market will be February or early March, and maybe even earlier if you want to avoid competition.” Traffic on real estate Web sites begins to rise right after the New Year, says Ken Shuman, spokesman for real estate Web site Trulia.com.

IT HAS PASSED!   by Corey Boyles

Congress has approved an extension today of the home buyers tax credit, sending the bill to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature. The House voted 403-12 to pass the bill after the Senate unanimously approved the measure Wednesday night. The legislation continues a home buyers’ tax credit and a measure allowing businesses to write off some of their losses incurred over the past two years. House lawmakers voted to approve the measure more than a month after initially agreeing to a more modest extension of unemployment benefits. The home buyers’ tax credit and business-tax measure were added in the Senate.

The bill  extends an $8,000 first-time home buyers’ tax credit that was set to expire at the end of this month. The credit will apply to all house contracts entered into before April 30, 2010, and closed by June 30. It creates a new $6,500 credit for existing property owners looking to sell their home and buy another during the same period of time. Both credits have income restrictions limiting their availability.

 Don’t miss our page of Real Estate Bargains where we feature a different Buckhead home each week that we feel is a great value.  Many of the homes we have listed you will not find on the computer or by driving around as they are quiet listings that we know about thru our Real Estate network.   Many homes even in today’s market sell without a For Sale sign going in the yard.  Working with Anna and Claire you will have access to many of these “quiet listings.”

 I recently went and previewed a fabulous quiet listing in the Peachtree Park neighborhood in Buckhead.  It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath brick home with a completely renovated kitchen, two renovated baths and a finished basement.  I loved the large fenced in backyard and the huge family room off the kitchen with vaulted ceilings.  Please contact us at bargainsinbuckhead@gmail.com for more information about this home.
