After several bid wars on a couple of properties in this same area I stopped looking since there seems to be a lot of inside deals going on- meaning that by the time a foreclosed property actually comes into the market and is listed it has most likely been "promised" or "set-up" for a friend of the foreclosure real estate agents' to buy.

But getting back to the project initially I lost.  The same property came back on the market a year later for about 8k less.  I made a full price offer and got it under contract again.  This time the deal closed.  The house was in worst shape than when I initially had an offer on it; huge hole in the roof, beyond repair sheet-rock, gutted baths, no ac, nasty air vents and the house was chopped into several small living areas that did not connect.

After tons of work the house was finished and sold by owner.... will post pics of the after- as it is a very nice house!

]]><![CDATA[Couple of promising showings!]]>Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:02:54 GMThttp://www.habitudes.net/blog/couple-of-promising-showingsWe had several phone calls and a couple of good showings this past weekend- all those not interested in the superbowl that were out looking for a new home.  Positive comments overall, small living isn't for everyone but it does have a ton of positives like lower costs: electric, gas, cleaning, etc, etc.  And you can't beat the location.

A lot of good comments about the size of the backyard- you can hold your own Puppy Bowl back there!

See all the details you're dying to find out by going to this link- but beware the house looks better in person and living in Ormewood Park is amazing: great neighbors and you never have to drive if you don't want to!  You can ride the MARTA Bus to the King station and ride the train (to the few places it sputters to).  Or if you're like me and are awesome and like to eat- you can ride your bicycle to infinity and beyond (or until you hit the first hill......huff puff.....huff).  Or you can take your bike to get spruced up at SOPO Bikes.  Come check it out- you'll be glad you did!

Great News: 1011 Ormewood Avenue closed this afternoon!  This home went under contract in less than a week after it was listed with Global Brokers.  We are still getting requests to view the house- too late!  The new homeowners couldn't wait to move in.  As with all our past projects- the new owners remarked on the finishes and high-end quality of the project; and of course, they absolutely loved the price.  They commented on many of the houses they viewed during their search: none compared in the price range and quality.

We will be posting our next project soon- this one will also be located in Ormewood Park and should sell fairly quickly.  Come back and check our site for upcoming updates soon.

]]><![CDATA[Knight Court SE]]>Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:35:53 GMThttp://www.habitudes.net/blog/knight-court-seKnight Court finally found its owner!  This property is under contract and scheduled to close this coming Friday!  We ended up replacing the water line from the meter to the house to improve water pressure and flow, this caused a slight price increase- but it's well worth it.
