Atlanta Condos For Sale

Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus Atlanta Mansion For Sale

by

Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus MansionLet’s face it. You’ve probably been there once, maybe twice.

A day on the weekend.

As you work on that home improvement project, or that flower bed, or bought your Christmas tree.

You’ve probably been in a Home Depot store.

Home Depot was founded in Atlanta. In fact, the very first store that Bernie and Arthur opened was just a mile from where I live in the Atlanta suburb of Doraville. Humble beginnings that have grown into a world-wide company and those familiar orange-colored stores everywhere. (Except Bozeman, Montana where they HAD to change the store design…or not open.)

Home Depot is still headquartered here in Atlanta (Vinings) and certainly going strong.

So maybe you’d like to send some more money the Home Depot way? Perhaps you’d be interested in Bernie’s cottage in North Atlanta (Sandy Springs)? At a little over 10, 000 sq. ft. I’m sure you could fit your things in, right?

In reality, in the scheme of $1M plus homes, this is not a bad price for the house, and you are not way out yonder in Forsyth County and can actually get to and from Midtown Atlanta (you’d be attending symphony, plays and High Museum openings of course!) without needing hours of commute time.

I would love to take the credit for the listing, but if you happen to be a Buyer that has not found an agent, I’d be happy to help you settle into this stately home!

 

We're sorry, but we couldn't find MLS # 5140468 in our database. This property may be a new listing or possibly taken off the market. Please check back again.

 

Georgia Tech Off Campus Housing |Can We Still Buy A Midtown Atlanta Condo?

by

Georgia Tech

Last week, we just closed on another Midtown Atlanta condo for Georgia Tech Parents that chose Georgia Tech Off Campus Housing for their GATech student. We realize that every family and every budget is different. You may be able to spend more for the newer, modern high rises that are within walking distance to Technology Square and the rest of the campus. But some parents ask us, “Are there good investments that we can still make and not spend a fortune?”   Yes there is.

Georgia Tech Off Campus Housing |Can We Still Buy A Midtown Atlanta Condo?

Cornerstone Village Midtown Atlanta 2011 SalesThe answer to that question is a guarded “yes.”

An example of a Midtown Atlanta condominium community that is close to GATech and still affordable is Cornerstone Village. This community is comprised of 4 buildings, two which are historic and two that are newer construction. Most Georgia Tech parents desire to purchase a two bedroom so that their son or daughter can have a room mate who in turn helps make your mortgage payment.  As of this post writing, there is only ONE 2-bedroom listed in the building!

But let’s back up a bit and look at the sales history in the building so you can see where we were, and where we are headed!

Cornerstone Village took a hard hit in the real estate slide of 2009-2011. There were many foreclosures, but despite those, the homeowners association has remained strong, and kept the community financially stable. But from 2011 and forward, the prices have risen dramatically at Cornerstone Village, especially in the 1 bedroom homes. The chart to the left, shows the sale for 2011 in the building.  Yes, you could of bought a condo in Midtown Atlanta for $50,000-60,000!!!

 

But now, fast forward to 2013. Times have changed indeed. A smaller (635 sq. ft) home just closed for $124,000!! How’s THAT for a return on your investment! Below, the chart on the left shows the current Active Listings, Under Contract and Short Sales that are Under Contract. The chart on the right shows the homes sold so far in 2013.

 

 

Cornerstone Village 2013 Sales Activity

 

The Question: “Can We Still Buy A Midtown Atlanta Condo?”  And the guarded “yes” answer…prices have risen dramatically and this could continue, or start to slow down significantly with the rise in interest rates. There certainly is limited inventory, which could help to keep the prices moving upwards.

Either way, now is the time to make your decision about Georgia Tech Off Campus housing. I’m also often asked about leasing the condo out. Currently the building does not have any leasing permits available, and the wait list is probably around 4+ years before you would clear it and obtain a leasing permit. That said, if you did purchase now, have your son/daughter attend school for 4 years (or take the 6 year plan like I did!) you very well may, I repeat may clear the leasing permit list. I can tell you from a rental standpoint, that Cornerstone Village is an easy building to rent! One bedrooms rent for $1100-1200 and two bedroom comand $1600 and up, depending on the floor plan.

Georgia Tech Parents and Off Campus Housing. YES, you can still buy a Midtown Atlanta condo at Cornerstone Village!!

Hot-Lanta Rises: The market for luxury condos heats up in Atlanta

by

See on Scoop.it – Midtown Atlanta Conversations and Condos

After years of surplus inventory and virtually empty high-rise residences, the market for luxury condos in Atlanta’s real-estate market is heating back up, albeit at home prices below the 2006 peak.

Thom Abbott‘s insight:

Perhaps this is the interest behind the new "Seventh" building in Midtown at 7th and Peachtree Streets. Prices to start at $600K to $1M

Georgia Production Partnership Monthly Meeting — August 6th 11:30am

by

Georgia Production PartnershipIf you have been wondering about all the movie activity happening in and around Atlanta and Georgia, a great place to learn about it is at the Georgia Production Partnership (GPP) monthly luncheon.

You might also want to consider JOINING GPP! Not only does your membership help support the work of GPP towards the state’s tax incentive, you will be kept up-to-date on upcoming movie productions, special events and more!

If you are interested in Membership with GPP, feel free to contact me, as I’m a member, AND on the Membership Committee.

Here is more information about the August Meeting!

 

Bob FisherGPP is delighted to welcome Bob Fisher – Stunt Coordinator, Rigger and Stuntman – as our August guest speaker.

Bob will take us behind-the-scenes of many filmed-in-Georgia projects that showcase the unique talents and skills of our stunt people, riggers and stunt coordinators.

From car hits, bailouts, high falls and bar fights to explosions, ski stunts,  burns and rappelling – Bob definitely doesn’t spend a “typical day at the office.

Born and raised in western Massachusetts, Bob grew up skiing, canoeing, boating, and climbing.

After high school, he moved to Vail, Colorado and became a “semi-pro” skier, competing in multiple ski competitions and x-games type races.

Meanwhile he spent summers climbing, learning high angle rigging and playing in whitewater, where he learned swift water rescue techniques.  As he mastered mountain biking, he learned how to crash… A lot.   And he added running heavy equipment, and rigging for rock shows and corporate events to his growing bank of skills.

When it came time to choose his dream, Bob set his sights on becoming a stuntman.

With the help and kindness of working stunt people, he landed several “live show” jobs.  And  between stunt jobs, he was a full time rigger and learned the craft from some of the best tour riggers and show riggers in the business.

Bob’s rigging skills enhance his stunt work and he’s now been a professional stuntman for 18 years.   He loves his work more each day and is grateful that he’s “been lucky enough to do what I have dreamed of doing since I was 8 years old.”

Committed to excellence in every aspect of his work, Bob plans to be stunt performing and coordinating shows for as long as he can – and Georgia-lensed films and TV shows will continue to be a lot more exciting – to make and to watch — thanks to the remarkable work of Bob and his fellow stunt people.
