I’m a Bruster’s Booster…
Posted By Lane Bailey on August 18th, 2009
It was one of the first clear words from our oldest son… OK, it wasn’t that clear, but we knew what he meant…
Boosters…
I mean Bruster’s…
After a game at Parkview, a lap around the Mountain Park Park or even a hike up to the top of Stone Mountain, what could be better than a scoop from Bruster’s? Not much… Ice cream rocks! And

Millenium Cycle Works, get your Ride on…
Posted By Lane Bailey on August 14th, 2009
I have been visiting Millenium Cycle Works since before they moved to their current location. They always seem to have a lot of cool cycles in stock.
Cruisers, Sport Bikes, Dirt Bikes, ATVs, UTVs, Scooters and even Personal Water Craft.
They carry Kawasaki and Yamaha motorcycles and other vehicles, as well as accessories and parts… and service. With a wide variety of each.

Median Home Price Rise in Second Quarter
Posted By Matt Hermes on August 12th, 2009
A newly released report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) says home sales and prices posted gains in the second quarter, another sign that the ailing housing market is finally coming to life which is good news for both the housing industry as well as the economy overall.
The National Association of Realtors says the median sale price in the quarter was $174,100, up 4% from the first quarter, but still almost 16% below a year ago. Prices were down from a year ago in 129 of 155 metropolitan areas the group tracks.
Sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.76 million, from 4.58 million in the first quarter, but were still about 3% below a year ago.
Good news for home sellers? Well, I think so. As we head towards Fall, home sales activity is important as a foundation for the fourth quarter of 2009 but more importantly the Spring 2010 Selling Season. With the low interest rates, lower home prices, now is the time to jump off the fence. Prices should continue to rise in the next year and the inventory will continue to decline which means now is the time to buy.
Six Excellent Reasons To Get An Appraisal
Posted By Rick Frissell on August 12th, 2009
Every year, countless people in the United States buy, sell or refinance their own slice of the American Dream. Most, if not all, of these transactions include a simple line item for an appraisal. It has become an understood and accepted part of a real estate transaction. “Let’s bring in the expert and make sure we’re not spending too much on this property.”
But is this the only reason to get an appraisal? Are there other times when the services of a certified, licensed, independent real estate professional might come in handy? You bet.
PURCHASE OF A HOME- One of the most important issues involved in purchasing a property is developing an opinion of what it’s worth so that you can make an informed offer to purchase. A professional appraisal report performed by a qualified, state-licensed appraiser can provide you with an objective, third party opinion of a property’s current Market Value. And for the small price of this service, you can give yourself “peace of mind” prior to making an offer to purchase that you’re offering a fair price for the property.
