If You Don’t Live in Midtown Atlanta What Are My Choices? | LaVista Park

February 21, 2012 by Thom Abbott

As a real estate broker, I try not to be a “jack-of-all-neighborhoods.” You know, the saying “jack-of-all-trades” in that you can do a little bit of everything. The same applies to real estate. We have a word or phrase for it…..niche marketing. My niche market is Midtown Atlanta. But, If You Don’t Live in Midtown Atlanta What Are My Choices? But I do like to know the options for buyers when they can’t find exactly what they want in Historic Midtown Atlanta.

This post is inspired by a couple of things. First, my knowledge of the Midtown Atlanta real estate market, and second by the question I am often asked, “If I can’t afford a single family home in Midtown Atlanta, where CAN I live and still be close to all that Midtown has to offer? One of those answer is….LaVista Park.

LaVista Park is located Northeast of Midtown Atlanta via Piedmont Road, Cheshire Bridge Road and then Lavista Road or Sheridan Drive. By car, the dining and arts of Midtown are a mere 10 mintues away. The map below gives you an idea of the location of LaVista Park in relation to Midtown Atlanta.

According to the ByLaws of the LaVista Park Civic Association, the official boundaries are:

(1) Chantilly Drive on the North and East, Sheridan Road on the South, and the county line of the West;
(2) Citadel Road on the North, Brookforest Drive on the East, LaVista Road on the South, and the county line on the West; (3) Citadel Road on the North, Briarcliff Road on the East; LaVista Road on the South, Brookforest Drive on the West; and
(4) Sheridan Road on the North, Briarcliff Road on the East; Citadel Road on the South, Beech Haven Road on the West.

Established in the 1950’s, LaVista Park features a variety of home styles ranging from modern ranch homes to newer, infill construction that can sometimes be referred to as “McMansions.” It’s a wooded neighborhood, and weather can sometimes bring some of those trees down. But the wooded lots are still a beautiful part of LaVista Park.

The neighborhood schools include BriarVista Elementary, Druid Hills Middle School and Druid Hills High School which is an International Baccalaureate School. Shopping is conveniently located on all side of the neighborhood, from the Tara Theatre area with a Publix Market, to the Briarcliff/Druid Hills area with a Super Target to the Toco Hills Shopping Center at LaVista Road and Druid Hills Road.

For residents of LaVista Park that work elsewhere in Atlanta, interstate access is easy at Cheshire Bridge and I-85. GA400 is nearby for access to the Perimeter area and beyond. Cheshire Bridge Road changes to Lenox Road at I-85 and is a direct route to Buckhead, Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza.

If You Don’t Live in Midtown Atlanta, Lavista Park is an excellent choice of neighborhoods that is close by. Here are some of the homes available in the LaVista Park.

Why Do I Have To Decide So Quick When Buying an Intown Atlanta Home?

February 18, 2012 by Thom Abbott

I was out with a first time home buyer this past week. They were uncertain if they even wanted to purchase a home, but they took the first necessary step and were pre approved with one of my lender. An important first step, so, as a Buyer, you are comfortable with the price of the homes we are going to look at.

So off we went. This particular Buyer had already identified for homes they wanted to see. From the time our initial conversations started until we hit the street, one of those 4 homes went Under Contract. So, there were 3 left. We saw home number 1….so-so I’ll call it. Number 2, we will call it WOW! Number 3 –another so-so.

Home number 2 was a stunning multi-story town home that was hard to believe it was a foreclosure. A washer/dryer and a new refrigerator was all it was going to need. Not even painting! (Ok the fridge was a science experiment in mold growth….)

We talked about the home, and the price. I told this Buyer that this home was under priced, would end up in a bidding war and would sell well over the list price. My Buyer replied, “I don’t like to be rushed.” I advised her I was not rushing her, but more guiding her that if she was at all interested in this home, that we needed to get our offer in sooner than later. I also mentioned a saying we sometimes reference in real estate, “If you sleep on it tonight, you won’t sleep in it tomorrow.”

To make a long story short…..25 offers submitted on the same home, and we also missed the highest and best offer deadline by about 10 hours. So, Why Do I Have To Decide So Quick When Buying an Intown Atlanta Home?

Currently, in the Metro Atlanta area, there is approximately 46,000 homes listed For Sale. Compare that to a few years back when a local real estate company had lighed billboards proclaiming some 100,000 PLUS homes on the market. The times have changed.

Take a look at this search map of Midtown Atlanta condominiums and townhomes currently for sale. This is a pretty large area! IN this area, there are just 349 condominiums/townhomes and 75 single-family homes listed For Sale.

Just 424 purchasing options in Midtown Atlanta!

So, Why Do I Have to decide So Quick When Buying an Intown Atlanta Home? Because you do not have a whole lot of choices, and you are not the only one with a shopping cart.

If you are considering making a home or condominum purchase of Intown Atlanta Real Estate, then have your ducks in a row, and be ready to make that decision, or you just may not sleep in it tomorrow.

Housing Market Myths | Atlanta INtown Paper

February 3, 2012 by Thom Abbott

Via Scoop.it – Midtown Atlanta Condos

If a new Midtown Atlanta home or condo is in your sights, is now a good time to buy? Should you consider buying or selling INtown Atlanta Real Estate? Listen to some of my peers….I’ve been saying the same thing! If a home is priced right, it is going to sell at, or near the list price. Don’t think you are going to negotiate $20k off the price. Maybe 5%, but you will be in serious competition with the lower inventory you have to choose from.
