WOW! I learned about a fantastic opportunity this afternoon being offered through the State of Georgia's Department of Community Affairs. In an effort to help struggling communities reduce the inventory of foreclosed homes sitting empty on the market, they have just rolled out a $14,000 FREE MONEY grant to buyers of these homes in most counties throughout Georgia. Gainesville and the surrounding area all qualify under this grant as does the greater Atlanta area. Now not every foreclosure qualifies and not every buyer qualifies, but many will. This is a terrific opportunity to help buyers get into a home at a discounted price, take advantage of $14,000 that can be used for down payment and/or repairs to the property, and help communities struggling with vacant foreclosed inventory by moving them off the market faster. In addition to other home buyer topics I'm going to discuss this program at my Home Buyer seminar on May 9th. What a wonderful opportunity for buyers in a position to take advantage of it! If you would like to attend the seminar, registration is free through my website at www.PowerBuyerProgram.com . Hope to see you there!
I never thought that day after day after day of rain would actually make me happy. But around Gainesville, Georgia rain is a wonderful thing these days. After 2 years of far below average rainfall and accidental excessive releases by the Corps of Engineers from Lake Lanier, we have finally hit a bit of a milestone. 1060! If you live anywhere near Lake Lanier you probably know that we have not seen this level of water in Lake Lanier since September of 2007. All last summer, boating was much more hazardous than normal with levels hovering around 16 feet below full pool, and lake lovers suffered for it. Local businesses that depend on the lake, tourism and additional patrons that Lake Lanier typically brings in felt it sting of the low lake level too. So here's to the rain, and being just over 10 feet below full pool. Keep it coming, keep it rising. As I look out my window at the slow drizzle and dreary day, I can only think to myself, "Here we come 1071!!!!" It is a great time to think about Lake Lanier real estate.
