            <description> <![CDATA[

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
It's Monday, July 26th 2010 and with just two (2) new distressed properties to hit the market this weekend I'm going to spend some time schooling you on the three (3) types of short sales and the two (2) very different types of agents that work them.

Here's a fact: if you're currently in the market to buy a home (whether your a first time buyer, investor, luxury home buyer, condo buyer, loft buyer ... you get the picture) you NEED to know how short sales work.

And I'm not going to tell you th... ]]> </description>

In addition to residential sales, my team is heavily involved in helping investors profit by investing in foreclosure properties. Mainly by purchasing small single family homes in Atlanta foreclosure market at 60% to 70% of future value, rehabbing them, and quickly reselling them for a healthy profit. Most of these properties are in blue collar neighborhoods that we resell to first time buyers using FHA insured financing. Most of the foreclosed properties we purchase were also financed by FHA i... ]]> </description>

 Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. 

I urge you to read, watch and take action.

The Case-Shiller data for October was released today.

Good news first: seasonally adjusted data shows a 5th consecutive increase for nationwide home prices.&nbsp;&nbsp; 

Now the bad news: continued weakness in the Atlanta market with -.2% month over month; -8.1% for the year and a whopping -19.6% since the peak of the market in April of 2007.

The good, the bad and the ugly news: depending on whether you're a buyer/investor (good), seller (bad) or lender (ugly) we have seen prices this low si... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
According to the most recent report from Equity Depot (an Alpharetta based firm), the Atlanta real estate market had a record setting 117,107 foreclosures notices filed in 2009.&nbsp; That's a
near 50 percent increase over the previous record in 2008. 

The report goes on to disclose a 10 percent increase in foreclosures compared to November (month over month) and ... get
this ... a whopping 77 percent increase over December 2008 (year over year).

It's worth taking a look at this recent Wall Street Journal interview with Real Estate expert John L. Burns.



Mr. Burns confirms a lot of what I've been predicting for months now for the 2010-2011 Atlanta real estate market.


In the video he explains why FHA loans and migth contribute to a prolonged recovery.

Here are a few reasons why 2010 will not be the year of recovery:

There are a number of ways to analyze exisiting homes sales.&nbsp; Today I'm looking at comparative monthly homes sales not &quot;seasonally adjusted&quot;.

So what you're looking at here is a graph that shows monthly existing homes sales&nbsp;from 2005 to 2009.&nbsp; And what you're seeing is that for the&nbsp;5th straight month, sales are higher in 2009 vs. 2008.&nbsp;&nbsp; And for 2 consecutive months now we've seen sales higher in 2009 vs. 2007.
