Atlanta Condos For Sale

Relocating to Atlanta GA – Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

March 16, 2023 by Thom Abbott

Every really good city (well at least a Big city…..) needs an airport. And if you are looking for one big guy, you found it right here. Relocating to Atlanta GA – Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport! 

Relocating to Atlanta GA – Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

The name itself is quite a mouthful. ATL is the airport code used by airlines. Most locals call it Hartsfield International. Or Hartsfield Atlanta. No matter what you call it…you can call it big.

 

Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Relocating to Atlanta

  • 94+ Million Passengers Annually
  • 275,000 Daily Passengers
  • Two Terminals (See my comments below)
  • Five Runways ( I think a hotel was lost in one expansion)

Besides offering you a non-stop flight to almost any city you want to visit, the convenience of Hartsfield-Jackson is why Atlanta is such a choice city for Fortune 500 companies to call it home! Do the names The Home Depot, UPS , Coca-Cola and NCR sound familiar? And don’t forget that Atlanta and the airport are the global headquarters for Delta Air Lines.

The Layout of the Atlanta Airport

As I mentioned above, the airport only has TWO terminals, North and South. You just need to know which terminal based on the airline you are flying. (Delta pretty much owns the South Terminal!) But once you are in the airport, there is where people think it’s confusing, or not a user friendly airport. Once you check in, you then have to ride The Plane Train, which is an underground train running from the two main terminals to the SEVEN concourses (T, A, B, C, D, E and F) The new International Terminal (F) opened in 2012 at a cost of some $1.4 billion. I can remember arriving in that terminal once BEFORE the Plane Train had been connected to it…and that was a nightmare to get back to the North/South terminals to then catch a MARTA train into the city. 

I remember flying out of Dallas, Texas (DFW) and missing my flight because it was so far from the entrance to the airport, and then if you did not know your flight number, you did not know know where to go! Maybe it has changed since that time, but it was very confusing to me…at least. Here at Hartsfield Jackson, you just have to know your airline to get to the right spot. Once you are in the airport, then you’ve got that Plane Train ride. 

How Do I Get To and From the Airport into Atlanta?

Hartsfield Jackson Relocating to Atlanta

 

The airport is accessible by car via I-85 or I-285. That is for the North and South Terminals. The International Terminal has its own entrance, separate from the domestic terminal. The international terminal entrance is accessible from Interstate 75 at Exit 239. Roadway signage directs motorists to the international terminal via interstates 75, 85 and 285. Surface street signs also have been updated to direct motorists to the facility. All of the Interstate signage points you to Domestic or International. I think THAT is confusing.

Depending on where you live in Atlanta, using MARTA is the most awesome way to get to and from the airport. It’s the final stop for both the Red and Gold Lines, and its connected directly to the Domestic terminal. If you live further North of Atlanta, you might have family or friends drop you at the outermost station and take the train from there. But if you live in areas like Midtown, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, and Brookhaven, access to the stations is relatively easy. 

 

 

 

I’ve Heard Getting Checked-in and through TSA is horrible?

Well, yes and now. Lots of factors play into this, but it’s best to error on the side of extra time on your Concourse (or the Delta Sky Club if you are a member) than miss your flight because of the long time at TSA. I honestly have never been in the TSA line for more than 30 minutes. I do have TSA Pre-Check….but thankfully have never been at the airport for the lines that I have heard snake around through the Atrium. 

Truly, our airport is one of the best things about our city.

NEW! Fulton County Homestead Exemption

March 27, 2019 by Thom Abbott

NEW! Fulton County Homestead Exemption NEW!

Homestead ExemptionThere is a NEW Senior Homestead Tax Exemption available for homeowners who are 65 or older, regardless of income, if your primary residence is in Fulton County.

This new age-based exemption was passed in November 2018 and is in addition to base homestead exemption but it requires an application (by April 1) to take effect in most cases to increase the amount of your homestead exemption and effectively lower total property taxes. The deadline to file for this new Senior Homestead Tax Exemption (or for any homestead exemption) is Monday April 1, 2019, to qualify for property tax relief in the current year.

Standard Rule: If primary residence then owner may qualify to exempt up to $30,000 of their home’s assessed value.

NEW IN FULTON – Homeowners over the age of 65 are now eligible for a new senior homestead exemption. It increases the base homestead exemption from $30,000 to $50,000. All homeowners over the age of 65 qualify, regardless of income.

ACTION NEEDED: If Owner already has another 65 and older homestead exemption, this will automatically apply. If not, they must apply online, in person, or by the April 1 deadline.

The following steps will help you file your homestead exemption online:

1. Go to: https://fultonassessor.org

2. Click on “Property Search”

3. Click on “Address Search”

4. Key in the property address, but leave off the suffix (ex: for 123 Main Street, you would enter 123 Main)

5. Click “Search” 6. When results are returned, click on the property owner’s name to be directed to the property profile.

7. On the Profile page, in the lower right-hand corner, the page will provide the Fulton County exemption code (FUL Exep Code).

8. If the FUL Exep Code ends in “S”, the property owner does not need to file (ex: HF01S), but if it does not end in “S,” the property owner will need to file by April 1.

9. To file, visit the following: https://fultonassessor.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2019/01/2019-HomesteadApplication-Revised.pdf to print out the form to take to the Assessor’s Office.

10. To file online, visit: https://iassmartfile.fultoncountyga.gov/

11. Either “Create an Account” or “Login”

12. Click “Homestead Exemption”

To file, the property owner will need the following information:

a. Georgia Driver’s License or valid Georgia identification (Owner and Spouse)

b. Social Security Number (Owner and Spouse)

c. Registration for all vehicles owned (vehicles must be registered to Fulton County)

d. Recorded Deed (for new owners only)

e. Trust Document and Affidavit (if the property is held in trust).

Buckhead 2018 Year End Real Estate Market Report

March 22, 2019 by Thom Abbott

The Buckhead area of Atlanta is usually associated with the “mega-mansions” of places like Tuxedo Park or West Paces Ferry Road, where you find the Governor’s Mansion. For the purpose of this overall Buckhead 2018 Year End Real Estate Market Report, we will just focus on the primary zip code of 30305. Yes, there are parts of 30309, also referred to as Brookwood that could be considered Buckhead as well. But this “snapshot” will give you an idea of the home sales in 2018. You can find more information about Buckhead here. 

Buckhead 2018 Year End Real Estate Market Report

Disclaimer: As we do this “15,000 ft overview” of the Buckhead market, there are certainly other homes/neighborhoods that could qualify to be part of Buckhead. But these numbers are from FMLS and Zip Code 30305.

Single Family Homes

Buckhead 2018 Year End Real Estate Market Report

We had to break down the single family homes into three categories, just like we did with our Brookhaven, GA Real Estate Market Report. So we will look at homes sold over $1m, homes sold $500,000 – $999,000 and finally homes sold for less than $500,000. 

Over $1 Million — There were 104 homes sold, ranging from a high of $4.975M in Tuxedo Park to $1M in Haynes Manor on Peachtree Battle Avenue. 

$500,000 – $999,000 —  This price range had the highest number of home sales, at 160 homes sold. They ranged from a high of $985,000 in Peachtree Park to $500,000 in Peachtree Hills. 

$500,000 or less —  As you might expect for Buckhead, there were not many homes sales less than $500,000! Lucky Number 13 to be exact…ranging from a high of $490,000 to a low of $429,900 in Peachtree Hills. 

Buckhead, as we mentioned earlier, is known for the mega-mansions along West Paces Ferry, as well as being home to Lenox Mall, Phipps Plaza, the former Ritz Carlton Buckhead and the Buckhead Atlanta shopping area on Pharr Road.

Condominiums/Townhomes

Buckhead Condo Real Estate Market ReportBuckhead is also known for its pricey condominiums and townhomes! There were 471 sales in 2018, ranging from $3,700,000 at The St. Regis down to a low of $81,000 at Slaton Manor. How’s THAT for a price range of homes….Wow! Of those 471, an amazing number of 365 homes sold under $500,000.

What’s The Real Estate Market Like In Buckhead?

Buckhead is somewhat of a unique part of the real estate landscape of Atlanta. It’s the place where the mansions are….the shopping and some pretty awesome restaurants. The area is seeing its share of new apartment buildings (think Icon Buckhead next to the Waldorf-Astoria) and upcoming changes to Phipps Plaza as they add a hotel and other amenities. The fact that there were 365 condo sales under $500,000, and there were many that were in the $200-300,000 range make it still affordable for many.

Atlanta Real Estate Market Brief — February 2019

March 19, 2019 by Thom Abbott

The Atlanta REALTORS® Association has released their Atlanta Real Estate Market Brief — February 2019. 

This market brief examines sales and prices in an 11-county area consisting of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Fayette, Henry and Paulding Counties. ( So take note…this is a really, really BROAD look at the real estate market in Metro Atlanta!)

Atlanta Real Estate Market Report

Overall residential sales were at 3,464 which is a decrease of 7.4% from the previous year. When you look at price (both average and median) you see they continue to gain traction and are ahead of 2018 numbers. The median sales price in February was $264,000, an increase of 5.6% from February, 2018. The average Sales Price was up by 5.3% to $319,000.

Atlanta Real Estate Market Report February 2019

 

What’s The Atlanta Inventory Like?

Inventory increased by 15.7% from February, 2018 with 12,806 active listings. (Remember those MetroBrokers digital signs back in the day that had 80,000, 90,000 and even 100,000 homes For Sale? Shreeeeek!) New listings were up by 15.4% from February, 2018. The month’s supply over a 12-month period decreased to 2.6 months. 

Is This A Normal Real Estate Market?

A normal real estate market has 6 months of inventory. Less than 6 months (as indicated above) is a Seller’s market, and more than 6 months is a Buyer’s market. More inventory means buyers can probably get the Seller to negotiate more on price or other concessions. In a Seller’s market, we find homes selling for list price, and even above list price. 

My word of caution in a report as broad as this…..real estate is all about location, location, location. These average sales numbers are just that… an average and what you may see in your neighborhood, city or specific condominium building may vastly differ from these numbers. This is why it’s always best to get a real estate professional to give you a market picture for your home and neighborhood/building. 

If you have questions about the value of your home, give us a call, or just fill out the form below and we will be in touch with you!

Buckhead Market Report October 2018

November 16, 2018 by Thom Abbott

Market Report Area 21 Buckhead October 2018The Buckhead Atlanta real estate market is still moving, and we wanted to “take it’s pulse!” So let’s look at the Buckhead Market Report October 2018.

First, a look at the condominium market…and a disclaimer. Buckhead and how homes are listed by agents, can vary. We compiled this report based on the Area 21 as designated by the First Multiple Listing Service. (A map of this is to the right) Some listings that a buyer might think is a Buckhead area, may not appear as part of this report, but this is how we pulled these market numbers. 

For October, there were 390 active listings, ranging from a Collier Green 1-bedroom at $115,000 to a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom at The St. Regis for $15.995M. In the chart below, you can see the average days on market to be 80, but the St. Regis listing seems to have been on the market for 666 days! 

62 listings were Under Contract, and ranged from $118,949 at Parklane on Peachtree to $1.8M at The Charles. 

133 homes sold (or closed) in October in Buckhead. They ranged in price from $105,000 at Slaton Manor to a 2-bedroom at The Wakefield at $2.772M.

Market Report Buckhead Atlanta GA

 

In the Single-family market in Buckhead, there were 499 homes listed For Sale. (An adjustment to the chart below is $379,900 for a home in LaVista Park to $25M for the former Tyler Perry estate, some 10,000 sq. ft on 17 acres. You can see that listing HERE! 

There were 59 homes Under Contract ranging in price from $500,000 in Peachtree Hills to $4.950M on West Andrews Drive. 

72 homes sold in October, ranging from $462,000 in Meadowbrook to $4.975M on Knollwood Drive in Tuxedo Park. 

October 2018 Single Family Buckhead Market Report

 

Keep in mind, this Market Report is a “snapshot moment in time” of what is happening in the market, and is a view at, say 30,000 feet. What may be happening with sales and prices in your condominium building could be much different that what is selling across the street. And the same is true for single family homes as well.
