Back with today's episode of IntownDailyHomes.com - your source for daily atlanta real estate information with expert intrepretation
We've got a lot of properties to review today - 16 to be exact. The first one is in Midtown, originally sold back in 1999 for $600,000. We've got one on Mclendon Avenue in Lake Claire on the market at $699,900 with a beautiful backyard. Another, newly built home, in Laurel Hill Preserve on the market at $600,000. Moving on we've got Glen Circle in Glenwood Estates - a 3/2 being offered at $554,000. A little concerned about the upgrades on that one, but it is walking distance to Downtown Decatur so maybe worth a closer look. The next property is on Berkley Lane in the Berkely Oaks subdivision priced at $549,900. Next…

This is my first blog post. And it's the first of many where I'll give you a "behind the scenes" look at the fascinating world of Atlanta Real Estate from a unique (if somewhat cynical) perspective - mine! I plan to cover a range a topics - some serious ... some not so serious ... all brilliant. And I'm looking forward to maybe getting to hang out with you in the online world of bloggery and prodigiousness. Or maybe we’ll get to meet “in real life”, as the kids say, if you do business with my two brothers. Or on Twitter (still trying to figure that place out) @adamkeenrsb — stop by, whenever.

Price Problem #1: Where's the Excitement?
The first problem is... it's hard to get sales people excited.
And it doesn't make any difference how much marketing you're doing... the problem is the same ... its hard to get sales people excited.
You see ... agents generally know what buyers are willing to pay for similar homes in similar areas in this market right now.
And when a house is sitting on the market for any length of time not selling, their reaction might be that it's overpriced.
They won't get excited because they know they can't get their buyers excited.
On the other hand ... when your price your home competitively ... this is what happens:
Agents get excited because they know they can get their buyers excited.
Excitement is…

With a steady stream of negative news on the economy and real estate market, I think it's important to mention - despite what the media has to say – we’re selling houses!
My team and I have closed on 10 houses so far this year and, as we head into the spring season, I expect we'll more than triple that number before the tax credit runs it's course on April 30th.
Sure ... it's a taking a bit longer than it did a couple years and prices are, without a doubt, lower today than they were a year ago.
It's times like this I remind myself:
Selling real estate is simple.
Simple... but not easy.
And selling real estate, for all it's complexity, boils down to very simple rules and universal truths.
But to hear the truth about selling ... you've got…

Gwinnett topped the charts this month with 2,163 foreclosures, Fulton came in close second with 2,008 and DeKalb County rounded out the top 3 with 1,511.February foreclosures notices are scheduled for auction the 1st Tuesday in March.
The Perfect Storm

Spring is here.
I know it sounds silly coming to you on a rainy day in early February when it's 35 degrees outside and "wintery mix" is the weekend forecast, but the real estate market is on strange footing these days.
Here's A Fact:
Spring has sprung in the real estate market.
And the next 3 months are the best opportunity to get your home sold in over a year.
Why?
Several factors are creating a "perfect storm" for sellers in the current market.
I'll do my best to explain...
Wikipedia defines a "Perfect Storm" as an "expression that describes an event where a rare combination of circumstances will aggravate a situation drastically."
It's also a movie starring George Clooney as the captain of an ill-fated fishing boat.
But the perfect storm…
