When we give our sellers a list of things to repair and the price for their home they are sometimes overwhelmed. I am starting a new pricing strategy. I am giving the sellers a list of things to do that require sweat equity. These would be the cleaning and uncluttered type of things. And then if there are repairs that are going to cost money I give them that list and the price I would put on their house.
So for excample if a house needs painting I would say X dollars without painting for a listing price x plus dollars with the house painted. In this way I am finding sellers are seeing not only the cost of the repair but also the potential return. So far so good. What think you all?

Currently in North Georgia land sales are slow. The reasons for this is are clear.
1 Investors have become skittish or in fact were over extended and have been forced to pull back
2 Land loans are not as easy as they once were
3 People are not buying as much to build as the inventory of existing homes is high, and priced well.
4 Construction loans are harder to get than conventional loans
Given all of the above if you are looking for great land deals, Now is the time to buy. We see great tracts consistently under 15,000 an acre. The choices now are great and prices are equally great.
If you were ever going to go green acres now is the time. We are your North Georgia land specialists contact us or visit us at www.allmountainrealty.com for a no cost consultation

This year so far has been tough in the mountains. Winter seems to have lasted forever. Also lay-offs in some of the industries, notably carpet have effected the local economies. We are often a lagging indicator of the market. So while other areas were experiencing high rates of value decline not so much us.
But lately the declines have excelerated. So in some ways while thers are rebounding we are struggling. The news is nt all bad. Given the economic state we already see more and more local folks traveling and exploring the mountains as we are close to them. We also see folks moving here to down size, improve their quality of life and in general reduce their costs.
So it is a mixed bag for us right now. Spring and summer will tell the tale. Will the upswing in first time buyers carry us forward and lead a rebound? Only time with tell

Recent events have left some folks confused over the bail out. They thought , hey of we pas this bill things will get better. So why is the market down and doom and gloom economic number coming from every where ?
The politicians did a good job with this bill in the end. The first time it died. In the end they said it was good for main Street. By extension you thought that is you and me. But the bill was really meant to solve a crisis in the capital markets. I do not work in those markets . Most of us do not. So the Economy is really the issue.
The bailout bill is meant to keep money flowing in our economy period. But if there is no demand and the numbers are soft then things do not get better. The real issue is and has been the economy. The bail out is an expensive side show aimed and maybe keeping things fro getting worse.
Lets end on a good note. The economic slow down means the use of less oil. So hopefully the price of gas will go down. We are seeing this in some areas and the price of oil is going down. We are not in for rough times, we are in rough times. Smile, work hard ,take a deal you normally would not take. When you exercise you are told to drink water and stay hydrated. Like wise in this economy stay as liquid as you can.
