As a consumer, you may not really know or understand the role your real estate agent plays when you buy or sell a house.
That really could be OUR fault! But then, we sometimes serve as the “punching bag” as you will…kind of shielding you from all the things the happen, and HALF TO HAPPEN in order for you to buy or sell that house or condominium.
What IS Being a Midtown Atlanta Real Estate Agent All About?
Well, at the end of the day, there really is one goal…..
Living ITP (Inside The Perimeter) in Atlanta can often mean you have to give up many of the features you’d like to have in a home. Like, living in a condominium INSTEAD of a single family home. Ah, never fear, you don’t have to worry! Just take a look at West Highlands!
West Highlands is a new construction single family home community, just minutes West of Midtown in Midtown West! This is a Brock Built community, and having toured these homes on numerous occasions, I can tell you….they are fabulous. Really….for the price of some Midtown Atlanta condominiums, you can have the space of a single family home, new construction, and yet be just a few minutes drive from all the Midtown Atlanta has to offer.
Spacious floor plans can offer a Master on the Main, or unique lofts for that home office space, and 3 to 4 bedrooms. Lots are not huge, but offer just enough outdoor space for entertaining, family activities…and not to much lawn to mow! Granite counters and stainless appliance packages will make your kitchen the focal point of your home!
West Highlands is adjacent to the future Westside Reservior Park, part of the Atlanta Beltline Project. Once completed, this park will be even larger than Piedmont Park! Here is a link to the MasterPlan for the Westside Reservior Park!
Tired of that hour long commute to the burbs of ATL? Why not kick the car (well almost) and instead of sitting in traffic, you could already be home, enjoying a glass of wine on your deck or patio at West Highlands!

Well, I’m here to tell you (unless there is something I don’t know about…) unfortunately….NO!
Every day, I’m asked through various channels about the prices of real estate in Midtown Atlanta. “What’s the market like?” Are prices going up?” “I’m thinking I’ll wait another year to buy.”
Well, wait you may, but pay more you will. Can I Buy A Midtown Atlanta Condo for Under $100,000?
I just did a search on the MLS, and found 1, 2, 3. That’s it. THREE condos for sale under $100,000. Have the prices gone up?
Let’s have a look at a Midtown condo building, popular with parents of students attending Georgia Tech, just to see what has happened… Cornerstone Village.
2010 6 Homes Sold Under $100,000
2011 20 Homes Sold Under $100,000
2012 12 Homes Sold Under $100,000
2013 6 Homes Sold Under $100,000
So, what do YOU think is happening to the prices, especially in THIS Midtown building? They are moving on up!
If you were looking for that deal, you just may have missed it!!
As we start to sneak out of the winter months, there is this thing that happens. It’s called Spring Fever. I thought to myself, “What IS Spring Fever?” Well of course, there is an actual definition…..which I found at Wikipedia….
Spring fever is a term applied to several sets of physical and psychological symptoms associated with the arrival of spring. In general it refers to an increase in energy, vitality and particularly sexual appetite, often particularly strong in those suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD)[1] and thus experiencing lows during the winter months. It is this sense that inspires the use of the term as a title for several works of literature and entertainment. In some uses however it refers to the opposite, an unexpected loss of energy with the onset of spring.
I think it safe to say that most of us think of Spring Fever as that ever burning desire to get the heck out of the house (we’ve been cooped up by rain, snow, and cold temps) and enjoy the outdoors. As I walk, I can see the buds coming out on the trees, and yes, I’ve got Spring Fever.
Another “condition” of Spring Fever is also called Spring Cleaning. Maybe because we sat around for the last few months LOOKING at all that stuff and now we’ve decided we need to get RID of all that stuff! I started early with boxes of files and such, but there is plenty more to do.
I thought you might like some tips on Spring Cleaning to help you put your Spring Fever to good use….when you are not outside of course!
And once you’ve got that place all cleaned up, and maybe ready to move on, why not call me for your Market Analysis and we can discuss selling your Atlanta home!
It’s no secret that Atlanta is starting to see new construction again, especially Intown Atlanta New Construction! But if you are waiting for that new condo tower to rise, you might be waiting awhile!
Midtown Atlanta currently has at least 9 apartment buildings in some state of development, including a completed building, Skyhouse at West Peachtree and 11th Streets. True, there has been a lack of quality apartments in the Midtown/Midtown West area for some time. Your options for upgraded apartment living meant you needed to find a condo being leased by a private owner (and making sure they had a leasing permit to go along with it) if you wanted something decent.
And Midtown is not alone! The Atlanta Business Chronicle (February 15-21 issue) reported that a developer has filed a rezoning request for a 6.5 acre site at the corner of Piedmont Road and Lenox Road (also called the Buckhead Loop.) This new project calls for two TOWERS of 26 stories (380 units) and 19 stories with 322 units! It’s expected to take most of the year to get through the re-zoning process. And just down the street, Cousins Properties is building the 355-unit Circle Terminus in the Terminus complex.
But are we now in apartment overkill mode? We are talking some serious apartment construction! And the $50 question is, can, will and when would any of these buildings convert to condominiums? I’m working with a client right now that used to build apartment buildings and I asked him that very question. His response was that the loan on many of these buildings may be structured such that they cannot convert for 5-10 years. This way, the lender realizes the return on that investment (loan) that they planned on. Now, there could be “out clauses” that involve penalties, and then, the developer would need to get NEW financing for the project as a condominium building.
Needless to say, all of this construction will bear watching over the next few years. That said, with no new condominium building construction on the horizon, expect to see Midtown Atlanta condo prices continue their rise! You can see and monitor the market changes in many of the Midtown Atlanta condo buildings at our Midtown Atlanta Market Reports Page.

Though modular building has been around for a while, more developers and architects are embracing it.
This could be an interesting building alternative for Atlanta condominum buildings! I recall the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio was built this way.
