The Force of Nature

The winds of last nights' storms were severe and damaging. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had her way with the trees all over Metro Atlanta. My beautiful listing on University Drive in Morningside before... ...and after.


Thankfully no one was hurt....and thankful the nursery was on the other end of the house!

Coming soon!!! 100 year old estate home in Ansley Park

41 Barksdale Drive

Offered exclusively by J.D. Kellum + Associates, this Ansley Park home is one of the oldest homes in Ansley Park, believed to be built circa 1904 by a prominent attorney named Edgar Adams Neely, Sr. Mr. Neely built the house for his wife Emily and their three children. According to a book called "Genes of Ambition" that was written by Levering Neely, the home originally had gas lighting, a maid's house in the back (which is still there), a small barn for a pony, a garage, and a chicken house. The three children reportedly slept in the upstairs screened porch throughout the summer. The Neelys were big entertainers and hosted many musicals, which often involved their Steinway grand piano. The Neely's enjoyed the home for about 40 years, and then sold it to the current owners. The home has only had two owners and is located on a highly desirable lot overlooking "the Hollow" (now called Winn Park). Behind the unassuming facade are grand-sized rooms with hardwood floors, elevator, beautifully detailed moldings, grand staircase, tall ceilings, and fireplace.

This prestigious address will be highly sought-after by builders and renovators and likely to be sold before listing. For pre-market preview tours and pricing, please call me at (404)604-3148.

Reason # 5 of 7 - Why Now is the Best Time EVER to Buy a Home!

Atlanta_house_for_sale_motivated

 

Hey, look…it rhymes… supply now exceeds demand and buyers have the upper hand!  You’ve heard the term “buyers market” over and again.  What does this mean?  A balanced market in real estate is one where there is approximately 6 months of home supply.  (Which means it would take 6 months to sell off everything without adding another new listing.)

 

REASON #5 – Sellers are motivated!

 

Since we are really out of balance these days with 11 months of single-family supply (13 months of condo/townhomes), sellers are more committed than ever to doing what it takes to sell their homes.  I mean – who would be selling right now unless they had to, right?  So what does this mean for a buyer?

 

  1. Lots of choices
  2. Lots of negotiating power
  3. Smart sellers fiercely competing by offering great prices and excellent condition

 

However, the trend has been moving steadily back to a seller’s market as inventory continues to burn off.  Today’s motivated buyers need to act now, rather than seeing the buyer’s market in their rearview mirrors.  Wouldn’t you rather buy when there are lots of homes to choose from…or fewer?  The time to buy is NOW if you want to choose the home of your dreams from the best selection you are ever going to get. I guarantee that in the not so distant future, you will have fewer homes to choose from.  I don’t know exactly when that day will come…do YOU?
