New Neighborhoods in North Georgia--Canton, Woodstock & Ball Ground


Despite the housing recession - Cherokee County is alive and well!! New neighborhoods and developments are still being built and still selling. Probably a big part of the success of the new neighborhoods in Canton, Ball Ground, Holly Springs and Woodstock is that the price range for new construction has remained more affordable than other areas of Metro Atlanta. I am going to list some of my favorite neighborhoods and the areas they are located in. They are all neighborhoods with homes available for 250k or less and many of them have great amenities including pools, clubhouses, tennis courts, walking trails and playgrounds. Here is my list:

Woodstock Area: Belmont Trace, Centennial Lakes and Villages of Park Creek.

Holly Springs Area: Station at Prominence Point, Hidden Creek, Iris Park, Manous Manor,
Harmony on the Lake, and Diamond Ridge.

Canton Area: River Green, Mountain View, Lake Arrowhead, Haynes Crossing, Towne
Mill, Canton Heights, River Brooke, Summer Walk, and Great Sky.

Ball Ground Area: Smythwick Crossing, Lantern Walk, Curtis Farm, The Falls at Mill Creek,
Mountain Brooke North, and Bethany Manor.

As you can see there is plenty of variety to choose from. Call me and I will provide you with more information to help you narrow down the neighborhoods that would be right for you!

Cherokee County Neighborhoods

Even with all the news about the housing recession, Cherokee County is still growing steadily. Of course, not at the quick pace it was a few years ago, but it still ranks in the top 20 fastest growing counties. New schools, new neighborhoods, new malls, new roads and new recreational areas are all attracting families, active adults, and singles. The low taxes and the senior property tax discount are also big enticement to many home buyers. If you are interested in new construction many builders have reduced their prices and are offering fantastic incentives to buyers. Some of these new neighborhoods include Laurel Canyon, Summer Walk, Governor's Preserve, Lantern Walk, Great Sky, and The Orchards of E. Cherokee. If you like an established neighborhood with a bigger lot there are many to choose from including: Eagle Watch, Wentworth, Highland View, Wyngate, Waverly Parke, and Fieldstone. All in all, it is a great time to be a buyer - even if you have a house to sell! Whatever discount you make in your selling price should be recovered in your buying price plus a lower interest rate. Contact me - we can discuss all the benefits of purchasing a home during this wonderful buyers market. Of course using a buyer's agent is always a good idea - negogiating prices, pulling comps, contract & disclosure review, title issues, survey & zoning, attorney referrals, inspections, etc. Purchasing a home is a complicated transaction - you need representation - and a buyers agent is free!

North GA - Foreclosure & Short Sales Are Everywhere!

Cherokee, Fulton, and Forsyth County have been holding up fairly well during the housing recession this past year-- but now the bottom seems to have fallen out! There are hundreds of foreclosures and short sales - along with corporate relos and estate sales. Enormous discounts in all price ranges can be found everywhere: new construction, established neighborhoods and even resort areas/mountain homes! If you consider this news along with the low interest rates (4.5%) you can see why everyone is saying it is the best buyers market in the Atlanta area ever! Also the foreclosure and short sale homes that are coming on the market are not the type of homes we are used to seeing in distress sales. The homes that I have been showing this year are only a couple of years old and in fairly good condition -- not full of broken windows and stained carpeting. Contact me for more information but don't wait -- the inventory of foreclosure and short sale homes has never been larger -- but the nice ones still do sell fast!
