REbarCamp…
Posted By Lane Bailey on May 17th, 2009
Ok, it really doesn’t have anything to do with concrete (rebar). It actually doesn’t have anything to do with drinking, either (bar camp). Instead, it is about peer-to-peer technology education. Blogging, social networking, video, listing search technologies and better utilization of market data were some of the covered subjects.
Why does this matter to consumers? (I’m secretly glad you asked…)
590 Baltimore Ave., Lilburn, GA 30047
Posted By Lane Bailey on May 14th, 2009
I actually took the listing last week and got it set up. The website is now up, although it is still getting some more tweaks and additions.
590 Baltimore Ave, Lilburn, GA 30047 is being offered at $400,000. And it is an exceptional property. Four bedrooms, three and a half bath, and two 2 car garages. There is a full finished basement.
This is a really cool place, and there isn’t anything else like it. From the long winding driveway through the three acres to the house surrounded by woods and the creek, the house transports you to another place.
Georgia Housing Tax Credit Bill
Posted By Jason on May 14th, 2009
Today, House Bill 261 was signed by Governor Sonny Perdue. This bill provides an $1800 tax credit which would be taken over three years. This bill is immediately in effect and is meant to spur the housing market. The amount of the credit will either be $1800 or 1.2 percent of the purchase price (whichever is less).
If you are a first time home buyer, this tax credit would be in addition to the $8000 federal credit. Eligible properties include single family residences including condos, previously occupied homes that were listed for sale before May 11, 2009 and are still listed, and bank owned properties. The bill did not include investment properties.
The goal of this bill is obviously to provide an incentive to move current inventory and to get would be home buyers back in the game. If you, or anyone you know, are ready to purchase a home, Signature Lending Group would love an opportunity to earn your business and to help you take advantage of the new tax savings. We are more than willing to hold your hand throughout the entire process. Call us anytime at 678-387-5580.
But Zillow says…
Posted By Lane Bailey on May 14th, 2009
I know… most sellers at some point take a look at the ‘Zestimate’ that Zillow produces for their property. And there is almost always one of two reactions…
- “Those people are on crack, my house is worth way more than that” (if the Zestimate is lower than expected)
- “Wow, I didn’t know it was worth THAT much… Cool” (if the Zestimate comes in higher than expected)
The bottom line is that

I can’t think of a question that I am asked more…

And there as many answers as there are times the question is asked. There are a lot of sources for the information…
