With recent mortgage insurance program changes making it more difficult to obtain financing, and an increasing inventory of homes as more condo projects are finished, condo developers are fighting hard to lure potential purchasers in the door. In one word, they're desperate.

It's a tough time for developers, who are competing against individual sellers and investors, along with a surging number of foreclosures, for those few buyers who can qualify for a mortgage.

Still, it's a fight that most developers are in a position to win: most individual sellers or real estate investors can't absorb the deep discounts that the developers can offer. Nor can they offer perks such as a free car or no mortgage payments for a year.

On the other hand, intown condos offer a lifestyle that cannot be found elsewhere; and for buyers attracted to the convenience of intown living, that lifestyle comes cheaper than ever.

Just SOLD! - Midtown Condo across from Piedmont Park

This upscale condo is in the PERFECT Midtown Atlanta location and features period-style details with all the modern amenities.

The condo is actually a studio, but the (very clever) seller uses the dining room as a bedroom.

This home also has LOW HOA dues, offers lots of storage, including a separate storage room in the basement. Seller also purchased a parking space, so that is included in the exceptional purchase price of $124,900.

When I first discovered Active Rain, I saw all these picture on posts. Some of them you could tell were "stock" photos, or they were cartoon in nature. And I read where you should have your camera with you all the time, you never know when you might find a great picture that could be the source of a blog!

So, this morning, I was downloading the pictures from my digital camera to my laptop, and I realized....wow, I've already built up quite a library of photos! I'm doing it partly because Midtown Atlanta is changing SO fast, that you forget what was there a couple years ago! Take these two pictures...the far left is 1010Midtown as it was coming up, and the other is close to topping out! Amazing!

I don't know how many of you out there in AR Land have ever been to Atlanta (and changing planes at Hartsfield Jackson Int' Airport DOES NOT count!) but it's a pretty cool city. We seem to make the news alot lately about our traffic...and true...it's getting to be challenging! For those of us that work in the condominium markets of Midtown and Buckhead, it just makes our marketplace, that much better since you can live intown, and not have the hour+ commute each way! UGH!

Anyway, I thought I'd just share a few pictures to show you where The Thom And Ray Team hangout! Enjoy!

Atlanta's Backstreet, one of only 3 places in the U.S that was a 24-Hour club (oh I remember it well and miss it as well....)

Made way for progress, and was replaced by Viewpoint!

But Midtown still has the charm it once had, as you can see from St. Marks Methodist Church!

And lastly, here is a "time wharp" of two pictures that really tell it all!

1968 -- to today! Wow! We've Come Along Way Baby!!

As you are probably aware, there are lots of things happening in Midtown including numerous new, residential buildings. One of those buildings is 1010 Midtown - just north of Peachtree and 10th Street. The developers have created a Blog to keep consumers updated on what's happening in Midtown. You can even subscribe to their blog and you won't miss a beat!
