October 23, 2016 by Thom Abbott

Whether you are buying or selling a Viewpoint Midtown condo, the first question you want to know is, What’s My Viewpoint Midtown Atlanta Condo Worth? Well, now that you ask….

What’s My Viewpoint Midtown Atlanta Condo Worth?

If you are considering buying or selling in Viewpoint Midtown, give us a call. We have been selling this building since pre-construction, and have all the floor plans and details about this building.

The current inventory in Viewpoint Midtown is heavy on the two-bedroom side! There are currently 9 homes listed For Sale. (Buyer Beware….some listings that say 2 bedrooms may really be a 1 bedroom with a den! They can serve as a bedroom (if they have closet) but you will most likely only have ONE parking space!)

Three homes are Under Contract and going through the Due Diligence process, while four homes are Under Contract with closings scheduled. Here is some of the one-bedroom inventory that has been SOLD!

As you have probably heard from anyone you know in real estate, be it a real estate agent or someone selling or buying, the market is moving fast and homes don’t stay on the market long. But if you look at #2506 below it showed a rather long time on market. Further investigation showed it had a tenant in place that really wanted to stay there, so the Seller looked for an investor to purchase. (Side note….if a condo at Viewpoint Midtown has a tenant in place at the time of the sale, the leasing permit will TRANSFER to the new owner!)

For the most up-to-date-market information about Viewpoint Midtown, we urge you to contact us! We can assist you with all aspects of buying or selling in this Midtown Atlanta condo building, or in other condo buildings in Atlanta!

Sorry, but we couldn't find any results in the MLS that match the specified search criteria.

What’s My Cornerstone Village Condo Worth September 2016 Update

October 22, 2016 by Thom Abbott

Cornerstone Village has long been a “value” option for Midtown Atlanta condo buyers! This is due in part to the community being divided up into 4 buildings, and not having a 24 hour concierge. But, if you purchased in the building post housing crash, then you may be amazed at What’s My Cornerstone Village Condo Worth?

What’s My Cornerstone Village Condo Worth?

As you can see from the report below, that 1 bedroom condo that you may have got for as low as $60,000 out of a foreclosure sale…is now worth $155-168,000!!! Cha-ching!

And the prices of two bedrooms have hit we think an all-time high for this building! You can see a sale this month at $332,000 and on listing for a two bedroom at $339,000. (We have clients that paid $170,000 for a 2 bedroom!)

Cornerstone Village has been a popular choice in the past for parents of GATech students! But with the increase in prices in this building, it has quickly become less of an option for them to consider.

Have You Been Thinking About Selling Your Cornerstone Village Condo?

What’s My Spire Midtown Condo Worth? September 2016 Update

October 21, 2016 by Thom Abbott

Spire Midtown was the second in a trilogy of condominium buildings by the Novare Group in Midtown Atlanta. When it entered the market, it sold out in just 3 weeks! (Ah, those were the days…right?)

Spire Midtown is located between 6th and 7th Streets, on Peachtree. The building has seen renovations to the lobby (twice) and to the clubroom area. Plans are in the works to renovate all the hallways.

What’s My Spire Midtown Condo Worth?

Let’s take a look at the activity in the building for September, 2016.

We are certainly seeing the prices climb, but also stabilize in this choice Midtown Atlanta condominium building! In September, 2015, a “17 stack” floor plan sold for just $390,000. The average list price for a 1 bedroom is currently $255,311 and the two bedrooms are at $431,300.

Here we can see the current homes that are either pending Due Diligence (meaning inspections, review of condo documents, etc) as well as the homes set to close! (MyMidtownMojo is pleased to be representing the buyer of Number 914!!)

September did not see but one home actually close, but the above numbers clearly show that sales activity is alive and well in Spire Midtown.

Debunking the 20 Percent Down Payment

September 20, 2016 by Thom Abbott

You’ve been on the fence about buying a home, right?

Maybe I should rent a bit longer?

My biggest challenge is saving that money for that HUGE 20% down payment I have to have…..

Wrong!!

Debunking the 20% Down Payment

According to a recent survey, 67% of home buyers plan on putting at least 20% down on their mortgage. But did you know, you more than likely don’t need a 20% down payment?? You may get a loan with as low as 3% (based on numerous factors)***

There ARE low down payment options available TODAY for you to purchase a home! And remember, these great interest rates will not be here forever, and when they start to tick up, they can quickly change your buying power and what the cost of your monthly payment will be.

If you have been thinking about buying, but afraid you don’t have the down payment….STOP!

The first thing to do is contact a member of our Lender Team!!! They can do a pre-approval for you and discuss your financing options. Of course, the type of home you are buying (condominium or single family) as well as your credit and your current debt will all play a factor in what type of loan you qualify for.

But why not find out your options FIRST? Then you will know if you are on the right track to buy your home, and there is a pretty good chance you won’t need 20% for a down payment.

***TD Bank conducted a survey focused on potential first time home buyers. Survey topics include how soon respondents are looking to purchase, where they would like to purchase, amenities they’re looking for, and how they will finance their home when the time comes. .

SLS Atlanta Hotel Residences Moves Forward

September 16, 2016 by Thom Abbott

The possibility of another Midtown Atlanta corner changing appears to be one step closer as the SLS Atlanta Hotel Residences moves forward.

Trillist (the developer of Yoo On The Park apartments) appeared before the Midtown Alliance Design Review Committee (DRC) this past week. This was a follow-up presentation to a previous visit.

The building will be located at the corner of 13th and Cypress Streets. NO, NOT the parking lot next to Opera Nightclub, but the low-rise apartment building across the street? I guess we can say Bye Bye! And she will be a skyscraper with a proposed 43-story tower that will contain 214 hotel rooms and 66 condominiums, along with 12 levels of podium parking. (Yes, we still need those garages!!!)

It’s probably pretty safe to say that the condominiums will be on the upper end of the market price! But this will certainly be an exciting addition the area. 60 11th Street apartments recently opened as part of the 12 & Midtown development, and a new dual branded Marriott Hotel product is scheduled to go up on 14th Street between the Four Seasons and the Marriott Suites Hotel.

Depending on how quickly this project moves forward, me may soon see another “Midtown Bird a.k.a. a construction crane” on the skyline.

We will keep you posted on this one!
