If you are looking for a home in Big Canoe this is a great time to buy. Prices are really good right now. Yes you will have association fees but you do get a lot of things for your money.

As my wife and I drive and look at beautiful North Georgia scenes we always end up saying, "OK after we sit on the porch for a couple of days then what?" Many folks who live and want to live in the mountains end up making the this mistake. They buy out in the country. Now this is fine if you want to farm or have hobbies that need room. But at the end of the day social interaction is part of the human condition.

So you can be in a great mountain setting and if you wish, attend clubs, or play sports, or hike and fish and do tons of outdoor things then a community with amenities may be for you. Big Canoe is a unique mountain community. So if you are looking the folks at All Mountain Realty are what our name implies. We will work with you to find the perfect mountain retreat. Let us show you Big Canoe and other communities as well as the home in the woods.

We will see you in our stores and shops. We want to see you smiling and thankful that you worked with us. We are all Neighbors in the mountains so Check us out.

I have posted a day like this before. But for those who have missed it I am posting sunrise today. No matter what you stop in the morning and say thank you for the day when it looks like this. Sunrise in Big Canoe

So as the sun comes over the mountains this is the view from our deck. The second photo is through one of the wholes in the canopy

Sunrise in Big Canoe

This is Big Canoe and just one of the vistas. Homes start in the low 200's and work their way up. You can find some condos and "tree toppers " for under 200,000. So you know this view is from a house that today would be around 250 if you were to buy.

The pendulum swings

The pendulum is swinging wildly in our market. We as Realtors and Mortgage folks are constant having to adjust to a barrage of new Government regulations and guide lines. The fact of the matter is it was the fault of those were were supposed to regulate that were snoozing at the wheel that caused this problem. Now they have had a pot of caffeinated coffee and are hyper.

One of the victims of this hyper activity is the Stated income Loan. This loan has lovingly been referred to by some as the "liars" loan. But here are the facts. NOBODY that got a W-2 should have been allowed to do a stated income loan.The stated income loan was meant for folks with good credit scores, a history of paying on time, who were in business for themselves. Many of these folks today are finding it hard to re-mortgage and keep up with their payments even though they want to.

I am the first to say that the greed cancer needs to be removed. But right now Congress is doing it with a meat ax and not a scapel. I hope the folks at NAR are working over time to assist our representatives in understanding that abuse in loans is not the same as a bad product. The stated income loan is just one casualty of the meat ax approach to the housing mess.
