Several  features make condos and townhomes an attractive choice for home buyers.   Winston Place is a charming small complex conveniently located close to shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities like Emory and the VA hospitals. Winston Place is one of the few complexes in the area with full garages and some one-level units.  It also has a strong Homeowners Association and well-landscaped grounds and pool area. According to the Atlanta area multiple listing service,  two and three bedroom units here sold last year between $200,000 and $269,000.   Home buyers who choose condos and townhomes are looking for well-kept complexes in desirable neighborhoods close to work and shopping.  Buyers want less exterior upkeep,  ample interiors, updated kitchens and lots of storage.   Winston Pl...

The Associated Press is reporting the lowest mortgage rates since the 1950s  "Rate on 30-year mortgage falls to lowest on record Posted 8/18/2011 1:36 PM ET  By Daniel Wagner, AP Business Writer WASHINGTON — The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen to its lowest level on records dating to 1971.

Last April, just before the Tax Credit was about to expire, I listed a home for sale in Sagamore Hills.  It was a lovely home and the owners had every hope it could be sold without a short sale.  Unfortunately the market was continuing to slide downward and a short sale became the new reality. We had the home under contract by June.   Once under contract, we started work on the short sale.  The selling agent was short sale savvy, the seller was motivated and capable and the buyer was ready to "do what it takes" to get it closed.  Sun Trust, not so much. Sun Trust held both a first mortgage and a second / HELOC (Home Equity Line of Creidt) mortgage.  The mortgages were held in different subsidiaries.  Apparently the two entities don't communicate with each other. I have done a lot of sho...
