| HutHub: | Why should a homebuyer
consider purchasing their next home in the North Georgia Mountains? What makes this area unique & better than other popular destinations? |
||
| Charlie: |
The North Georgia Mountains are unique in many ways. As a destination we know that 32 percent of baby boomers look for mountain property. This alone makes the North Georgia Mountain highly desirable.
North Georgia is on the Southern end of the Appalachian Mountains. Summers are cool and winters are milder than you will find further north in the chain.
The North Georgia Mountains are close to Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Asheville. This makes us centrally located with many different types of amenities and medical facilities. From an environmental standpoint some of the Mountain Counties are as much as 50 percent green. Much of North Georgia, Lake Blue Ridge, Look Out Mountain, Dahlonega and Jasper have been written up as great places to vacation or live. Things to do in our mountains are: 1. Pan for gold in Dahlonega the site fo the first gold rush in the US in the 1820's 2. Attend the Ellijay Apple festival . One of the oldest running festivals in the US. 3. Attend the Jasper Marble festival and see where the marble used in the US comes from. 4. Hike in the Chattahoochee National forest or horse back ride through many of the maintained trails. 5. Go White water rafting or float on one of our many lakes. Fish in Carters lake and try to catch a bass that runs so large it is considered a separate species. With all these things to do you would think prices here are really high. However land can still be bought for under $20,000 a lot. Nice homes start in the $140,000's. We are very, very economical in our land and home prices when compared to other mountain destinations. Georgia is a tax friendly State. Property taxes are reasonable and exemptions are provided for retirement income. All in all we are uncrowded, unspoiled, and live in a great place. |

So we all know that in some parts of the country, Real Estate values are holding steady, and in some lucky areas they are even rising (see my recent blog post: 10 Cities w/ Fastest Rising Homevalues), but in some parts of the country homevalues are so depressed that sellers are having a hard time even giving their homes away:
Enter the $1.00 Listing
I just read an article that literally blew me away (Detroit News: Forclosure Fallout, Houses go for a $1), because it told of how a Bank listed one of its REO properties in Detroit for $1.00 on the MLS, and IT STILL TOOK 19 DAYS TO GET AN OFFER!
In fact, this home is still on the MLS (you can view it here), but thankfully, a buyer is currently closing on this property (all-cash I hope...).
The article went on to say how this house was literally the nicest home on the block in November 2006 when it sold for $65,000, but after the owners got foreclosed on and left, squatters, thieves, & even other foreclosed neighbors began tearing the house to shreds....how sad.
I know that Detroit isn't one of the richest cities in the world, nor is this the best house in the city, but a $1.00 listing???? That is just rediculous....and the fact that a BANK decided to list it at that price seems almost irresponsible. I would be terribly upset with that Bank if I was a neighbor, because now the appraised value of my home will suffer from this horrible sales comp, just because the bank needed to bail out & it could afford to take the loss. What about the people who still have to live there?
I don't want to fall in the same old blame game of "it's all the Bank's fault....they are ruining it for all of us", but I truly think the Bank could have done a better job handling this listing.
They must have known about the (negative) publicity this $1 listing would attract....or am I placing too much responsibility on the bank here?
