Dakota Condominiums Midtown Atlanta Market Report January June 2011

September 7, 2011 by Thom Abbott

Dakota Condominiums Annual Market Report I try to be pretty factual in my Midtown Atlanta Market Reports. No muss. No Fuss. But today, we just have to say…OUCH!

The Dakota Condominiums Midtown Atlanta Market Report has some pretty low numbers in terms of sales prices and actual sales. In 2010 for the time period of January-June, there was only one sale in this 160-home community. Only one.

For 2011, there has been only one sale as well. And this is actually a strange real estate story. The Dakota Condominiums Midtown Atlanta has long been a favorite of condo buyers that were downsizing from a larger home, but still wanted space, and the feel of a home. The town home floor plans are extremely spacious, many of them over 2,000 sq. ft. But their sales have been slow at best. This report does not show our recent sale as it closed in July, 2011, but at a substantial discount from previous town home sales at $295,000.

As for 2011 information, we will even pass on creating our normal form or chart…There has been one sale at $267,500. There are currently 2 listings with an Average List Price of $319,950 and one home Pending at $235,000.

The Dakota Condominiums in Midtown Atlanta are still an incredible condo option for those buyers who either don’t want a high rise building, want a more traditional feel, or are looking for the space of a town home floor plan.

Aqua Midtown Condominiums Market Report January – June 2011

September 5, 2011 by Thom Abbott

Aqua Midtown Atlanta Condominiums represent luxury and South Beach-style living in Midtown Atlanta. From the water feature in the lobby, to the sweeping vistas from oversized balconies to the private elevator that opens right in your own home, you can certainly say that Aqua Midtown Atlanta is a “one-of-a-kind” condominium residence.

This community was close to a sell-out when the housing market took it’s turn. As a result, many buyers did not fulfill their contracts. Numerous homes came back on the market and there are still a couple developer (actually lender now) homes in the building for sale. These are not distressed sales, but the building has seen those. Here’s a look at the market from 2010 and 2011.

Georgia Tech Condo Housing – Spire Midtown Atlanta

May 5, 2011 by Thom Abbott

Looking for a great option for Georgia Tech Condo Housing? Then let me take you to a building near and dear to my heart. I bought a home in Spire in it’s pre-construction sales days when you had to lean against the wall to sign your contract and the building sold out in THREE WEEKS! Wow! I’ve since sold my place, but still love the community feel you get in the building. But, you too would be happy having YOUR Georgia Tech student living in Spire Midtown Atlanta.

Spire Midtown Atlanta was the next “child” of Novare Group after their ever popular Metropolis Midtown. (I’ve yet to review this building…stay tuned!) But, kinda like an automobile design, we learn as we go along. So, Novare improved on Spire with upgraded cabinetry in the kitchen’s and baths, a choice of cabinet colors (but only if you changed floors) and less studio floor plans and more one bedroom plans.

Constructed on the corner of 7th and Peachtree Streets, it certainly has taken its place as a Midtown Mile icon. And the moment you step in the lobby, you will certainly see why. Spire Midtown Atlanta is everything a condominium community should be, yet offers amenities and security that are sure to be important to any parent looking for Georgia Tech Condo Housing.

The lobby is…..striking. You truly like coming home, or welcoming guests here. Not the original color design when built, and in fact has been changed twice to the current design you see here on the right. 24 hour Concierge and Security greet you in the lobby. A secured “second lobby” is controlled access for residents, and the Concierge can send your guests up and control exactly which elevator and floor they are going to. Elevators are also controlled access, and resident can only access their parking level, amenities level and the floor where their home is located.

Spire Midtown Atlanta made quite an impression with their Sky Club on the 7th and 8th Floors. Internet stations, catering kitchen and wet bar, pool table and movie screen room were, and still are quite impressive. The stone and wood accents along with gas log fireplaces make for some inviting conversation areas.

The building is just 5 blocks from Technology Square where students can catch the Tech Trolley or The Stinger for transportation further into the Georgia Tech campus.

Spire Midtown Atlanta offers 18 different floor plans ranging from 678 sq. ft for a studio plan (yes they still did two studio floor plans, to 1,356 for a premium 2 bedroom home overlooking Peachtree Street. This building, I think, will be a timeless addition to Midtown Atlanta, and one you will be proud to call home.

10 Terminus Place Has ONE Condo Left!

February 9, 2011 by Thom Abbott

The news if full of bad news when it comes to real estate, or so it seems. Kinda like the evening news….

So when we have GOOD news, we should be shouting it from the mountain tops…or in this case, from the roof tops!

Cousins Properties has ONE unit left to sell at 10 Terminus Place in Buckhead.

The 32-story tower, with 137 condominiums opened in 2008 at the infamous intersection of Piedmont and Peachtree Roads. Since the building opened, Cousins too two impairment charges (writing off the value of goodwill) to be able to adjust prices…as much as $300,000 on a 3-bedroom to help move sales along.

I sold a home here last year, and have some very happy buyers that purchased a 3 bedroom home on the pool level. The terrace was the size of many Midtown Atlanta 2 bedroom condo homes!

Always good to have good news in the real estate market…and we need to shout it from the rooftops!
