New Construction Up But Proceed With Caution
In another sign of improvement in the housing market here in Alpharetta, Milton and Cumming builders have been…well, building. Since the first of the year there have been 40 new construction listings in North Fulton and 113 in Forsyth County. And those are just the homes they have entered into the MLS. It’s good news ... [Continue Reading]

New Construction in Milton: Are Builders Jumping The Gun?
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.

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 ... [Continue Reading]

Housing Starts Down In June?…..Not Really

Housing Starts Down In June?…..Not Really
Let me see if I can make this really confusing…. Housing starts nationally for June are down 5% which the media purports as bad news..but I say it’s really good. But the real facts are that single family starts aren’t down that much, which sounds good but I say it’s bad. Confused yet? Stick with ... [Continue Reading]

A House Grows in Crabapple

A House Grows in Crabapple
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 ... [Continue Reading]

Will Market Improvements Spell Trouble for Existing Home Sellers?

Will Market Improvements Spell Trouble for Existing Home Sellers?
It doesn’t sound like it makes sense, right? How can things get better but spell trouble for home sellers? Or maybe you’re reading this and asking "How can you even say they are getting better?". Before I get into any potential problems, let me start with the point about things getting better. Things are trending ... [Continue Reading]

Luxury Home Builders and Home Buyers in Alpharetta and Milton – The Chicken or the Egg?

By Robert Strader on February 24th, 2010
Luxury Home Builders and Home Buyers in Alpharetta and Milton – The Chicken or the Egg?
I’ve written several posts in the past about builders who are buying up developed lots in Alpharetta, Milton and Cumming out of foreclosure and building homes in the lower price ranges. It makes perfect sense, with the tax credits and persistent demand for new construction among buyers. Home buyers almost always gravitate towards new construction, ... [Continue Reading]

Alpharetta Real Estate for 2010: What will the future hold?
It’s a question buyers and sellers ask almost every day, especially in a market like this, but at the end of the year people look forward to that new beginning. For a brief period of time it’s like the slate gets wiped clean on January 1st. Anything is possible and we look for signs of ... [Continue Reading]

Shhh…..Developed Lots are Beginning to Move in North Fulton

By Robert Strader on November 19th, 2009
Shhh…..Developed Lots are Beginning to Move in North Fulton
I don’t hear anyone talking about this but I’ve noticed recently that some residential developed lots in Alpharetta, Roswell and Milton have sold. Builders appear to be cherry-picking some good values out of foreclosure. On the surface it may sound surprising with what seems like a lot of resale inventory still out there. However, that ... [Continue Reading]

Would you like a $1.2M home for $750,000? | Bargain Hunters Part II – North Fulton
