I wrote recently about the decreasing inventory levels and increasing sales number s over the past 12 months. Inventory levels are down 18% in North Fulton. Which raises an obvious question; at what point to we see average sales prices increase. There have been some limited but positive indications that prices have stabilized or are…

Believe it or not, this festival has been going on since 1969! It takes place on ONE DAY only, each year, and features 50 Antique Dealers from 6 states and 50 local juried artists. Thousands of antiques primarily 19thcentury American Country furniture, smalls, primitives, to some shabby chic and unique pieces of art in all…

Over the summer there have been several builders who have put up a number of inventory homes in communities around Milton and Crabapple. This bullish sign is great to see but are they getting ahead of themselves? Traton Homes is building in Westminister Place off New Providence Rd. in Milton. This 14 home enclave offers…

I attended the Milton City Council meeting last night where residents had a chance to hear some opening comments from Lew Oliver with Whole Town Solutions. Whole Town Solutions was hired by Milton to come up with a few designs for the Crabapple Crossroads area, or really the “greater Crabapple area” to help the city…

It’s getting close to the big day and I forgot to let the man in the red suit know which homes for sale in North Fulton are on my wish list for Christmas this year. I say, if you’re going to wish – make it big. My kids seem to do that so I will…

Did you know that the average resident of a walkable neighborhood weighs 7 pounds less than someone who lives in a sprawling neighborhood? When you think of the suburbs you immediately imagine large communities with winding streets, lined with a small mix of home styles. Out of the community entrance a mile-or-so down the road…

72 The number of homes in all of North Fulton that are on water (river or lake). On the last day of each month I post a “Big Number” or interesting figure related to real estate in our area.

Recently I wrote about Anthem homes building 4 single family homes on slabs in the mid $300′s and 4 garden style attached homes on slabs in the high $200′s in Crabapple Crossing. All these floorplans are in the 2800 – 3000 sq. ft. range Not only is it good news for Crabapple but it’s no…

Eight of them to be exact. You won’t see them until they go under contract as they are pre-sale only – but  I don’t expect that to take long. I’ve been wondering for a while now why we haven’t seen a builder come in and breath live back into the new communities of Crabapple Crossroads…
