The 12th Annual Festival Peachtree Latino will be in Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta, Sunday August 26 from 11am till 8pm.
Since 2000, the festival has been the largest family and multicultural event in the Southeastern U.S. Family activities, hundreds of exhibitirs, sporting events and arts and crafts are just some of the activites planned for the 1 day event at Piedmont Park. This year’s festival has an expanded lineup of muscial performances.
You’ll find the diversity of the Atlanta Latino community will be expressed from Africa to Asia and and Europe to Australia. And you will find that diversity in food, arts and crafts and entertainment!
Yunel Cruz, Chavana, Ana Barbara, El Cata and Widy will be some of the featured performers.
This festival has been held in Centennial Olympic Park for the past few years. A majority of the attendees will be coming from all over the Metro Atlanta area, and may choose to drive, vs. taking MARTA. BAD IDEA! Parking in Midtown around the Piedmont Park area is always a challenge and with the addition of ParkATLANTA and their tickets, it could make for an expensive day if you get a ticket. I’d stronly suggest you drive to one of the outlaying MARTA stations, and take the train to the Midtown MARTA station.You can walk from there to the park and all the festivities. If you are driving, jsut make sure you park legally, and don’t block driveways and such.
We’ll be there and hope to share some follow up pictures of the days events!
As you know, our Monthly Market Reports usually are broken down by each specific condominium building in Midtown Atlanta. If you don’t think those reports take time to create, think again! But, they are a microscope look at the Midtown Atlanta market. So this month, and each month forward from now on, we will also do a “birds eye view” of the Midtown Market.
Now, ask anyone the definition of Midtown,and you will get a variety of answers. So, as a disclaimer, here is the copy of the boundary map that I am using to create this specific report.
Here’s the “chart version” for those that like that type of reference point.
To look at these numbers a bit closer, the 194 Active listings actually include 10 that are on a Contingency of some sort, but it inspections or financing. There are a total of 93 homes Under Contract, but that is broken down by 32 “Pending Lender Approval” or most likely short sales, and 61 homes Under Contract via a traditional or non-distressed sale.
50 Homes Sold in July, 2012. The sales prices ranged from a low of $36,100 to a high of $469,900. How does that compare to sales of years past? Take a look at 2011, and 2010 to compare.
In July, 2011, there were 34 Homes Sold, with a price range of $43,900 to $409,900.
In July, 2010, there were 39 Homes Sold, with a price range of $59,900 to $399,900.
The number of homes sold dipped in 2011, but then rose sharply in 2012. Sales prices on the upper end have increased each year while the lower end has dropped each year.
When you consider the number of condominium homes contained in our define search area, and we only have 184 homes on the market, this is very much a Seller’s market. Buyer’s have limited inventory to choose from, and we’ve heard of numerous multi-offer situations on homes as Buyer’s compete for the home they want. It is also nice to see a higher number of Under Contract listings that are non-distressed sales.
Again, a word of caution when looking at market numbers. They can be analyzed a number of ways. But all indications are prices are on the move up, and inventory is down in the Midtown Atlanta Real Estate Market!

Georgia Tech joined with a dozen major research institutions Tuesday in a partnership that gives students from all over the world free access to online college courses.
Georgia Tech will provide four courses for free: energy 101, computational photography, computational investing and control of mobile robots.
I think I’ll look into the Control of Mobile Robots. I think that could assist me in selling Intown Atlanta Real Estate!

I think the saying “Are you Ready for some Football” comes from the NFL advertisements, but it still works here!
Georgia Tech has long been a part of Midtown Atlanta, and when Football Season arrives, and it’s a home game at Bobby Dodd Stadium, it feels just like ANY college town with a home game!
The lineup for this year gives Midtown Atlanta residents 7 changes to see the “home team” play right here! Here’s the schedule:
Homecoming will be October 27th at the game against Bringham Young University!
I hate to admit, I’ve never made it to a game…yeah, yeah, shame on me! Season Tickets can range up to $70 PER GAME, if you have really choice seats! I tried to “purchase” some of those seats, and was not successful. I guess that means they are already gone.
You can purchase Georgia Tech 2012 Season Tickets here. They actually have a $249 package for 7 homes games! That comes out to around $35 per game! Not a bad deal! And not bad seats either. The ticket site gives you a sample picture of where the seats are (pretty cool!) This picture is of the location of the seats I selected at this price.
You might be like me and not ready to make that “full season” commitment You can purchase Single Game Tickets here. This is a great option if you don’t know your schedule long term, or know you specifically want to see a certain game. Maybe you are an alumnus from the other school! Get your tickets now!
But, you might be a recent GATech alum living in Midtown Atlanta? • Georgia Tech (Atlanta) New Alumni may purchase up to two (2) season tickets at a special rate of $150 per ticket; Additional season tickets may be purchased at full price. The TECH Fund is not discounted. To be eligible for the new alumni discount, you must have graduated in December 2011 or will be graduating in May 2012 or August 2012. Sweet!
Looking to entertain a group of clients? Maybe an office event or a Sales Contest Reward? Check out the Hospitality Packages!
Maybe you live in the Metro Atlanta area, or are driving in from the surrounding states? (That is one thing about Football in the South! Many of the campus’ are within a 6-8 hour drive, so alumni drive in for the home games, and the away team even gets a great showing! I remember seeing lots of Orange last year when Clemson was in town!)
You might be looking for a place to meet up with fellow Tech alumni, or just grab something to eat and have an adult beverage before the game! Your closest restaurants will be in Tech Square at 5th and Spring Street. But if you are looking for more the “sports bar” type of place, then you might consider Marlow’s Tavern, located at 8th & West Peachtree in the Plaza Midtown condominum building. Additional options include City Tap (Former Gordon Biersch on Peachtree Street), Taco Mac and Hudson Grille, all located on Peachtree Street, between 6th and 9th Streets. There is also Cypress Pint and Plate, located at 6th and Cypress, which is a close walk to campus.
Remember the Tech Trolley stops at the Midtown MARTA Station as well as at West Peachtree and 7th for transportation onto the campus. As a word of caution, a new company has recently purchased the parking at Viewpoint, Spire and Metropolis buildings, and the rates have jumped dramatically. Look for surface parking lots to be a cheaper option. As a reminder, “Clean Your Car” and don’t leave anything visible.
You’ve got numerous options in the Midtown Atlanta area for hotels. Most likely, they won’t be cheap, but hey, it’s 4 buds splitting the cost, right? Here are some of your options, most likely ranging from MOST expensive to least:
NOTE: While I’ve provided links to the websites and phone numbers, I know that Georgia Tech alum are well…techie, right? Don’t forget to check places like AAA if you are a member for discounts, as well as sites like Priceline.com and Hotwire.com. Now most all of these hotels know it’s a game weekend, but you never now when you might find that hidden deal!
If you just happen to be flying into Atlanta for a game, same yourself the cost of a rental car and parking. Take MARTA from the Atlanta Airport and exit at the Midtown MARTA station. If you are traveling light (luggage that is) the Renaissance and Georgia Tech Hotel are an easy walk from the station. I’d not walk to the Courtyard, just because of location and distance. And the Hampton Inn is accessible from the North Avenue MARTA station!
And as you should do in any major city, always be aware of your surroundings.
Welcome to the Georgia Tech 2012 Football Season!
