We're pretty excited to be part of a great new concept for business in the Hamilton Mill area. In fact, we're so into it that we actually just moved our entire Diamond Dwellings office because we always want to be at the center of what's happening in Hamilton Mill Business.

Mill Meeting Place is a business environment that's custom made for the hundreds of Hamilton Mill area business people that work from a home office (or from the kitchen table). Now you've got easy, low cost access to lots of comfortable & professional work spaces -- whenever you need it. You'll just have to come and see it to really appreciate how cool it is. There's soft chairs & sofas in some of the rooms. Then there are other "more normal" business rooms like offices and conference rooms. Mill Meeting Place has gourmet coffee and pretty much anything else that you might want or need while you're working. And, of course, they have open WiFi internet access throughout the club areas. Here's a floorplan of the facility.

Next time you just need a quiet place to work on your computer for a few hours, stop in and check out Mill Meeting Place. Instead of putting together your next presentation on the floor in the living room, you can drive right up the street & have a place to lay everything out and get your work done quickly -- without the distractions of home and other "not-exactly" work environments (like Starbucks). Don't get me wrong I LOVE Starbucks. It's just that it's not really a great environment for a serious meeting or an extended work session.

Here's a list of good reasons you'll want to be a member @ Mill Meeting Place:

• It's located right here at Hamilton Mill (behind 12Stone Church on 124)
• Meet with key clients in "the closing rooms"
• Get work done privately or with your team
• The chairs and tables are way more comfortable than "coffee shop chairs"
• Easy access to color printers & copiers
• Quite rooms for productive work sessions
• Club rooms for a more social and fun visits
• Administrative support for projects & general office
• Larger meeting rooms for special events & training meetings

All this is only $99 per month. Plus you can add any additional services you need at a 20% discount from the published rates. Stay tuned for more info here.

2008 is starting off with an upbeat vibe in the Hamilton Mill market. Lots of homeowners are considering a move this year, and they are being very realistic about pricing -- accepting the reality of the 5% to 15% decline in values.

Many -- if not most -- of these residents are "moving up" locally into a bigger house, etc. They realize that now is the absolute best time in the last 10 years to buy real estate. The higher the price range -- the better the deals.

The great news is: You can make a ton of money buying in this market!

Here's some examples:

Homes in the $300k to $400k range are experiencing $15k to $20k declines from their "perfect day" pricing.

By contrast, a $600k to $700k home might realize a $50k to $80k discount in today's market.
