Four Excellent Buckhead Homes For Sale
Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 at 4:31pm. 97 Views, 0 Comments.
There are 655 Homes for sale today in Buckhead (a healthy 11-month supply), but I wanted to highlight four homes that I have seen that are particularly appealing. All four homes would appeal to very different buyers, but Buckhead has something for everyone!
Buckhead's Most Stunning Condo
There are some wonderful luxury condos in Buckhead, but this 2-floor/360-degree beauty at the Residences Mandarin Oriental clocks in at around 10,000 square feet. It comes as a shell so the new owner can turn it into their personal paradise in the sky. Pictures really do not do this place justice. The last time I showed it I could not help myself from just stopping and staring through the massive picture windows at the incredible views. Finished with good taste,…
1.3 Acre Buckhead Lot For Sale - $200,000
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 at 8:41pm. 1218 Views, 1 Comments.
Buckhead has beautiful homes, but it can be hard to find a newly built home on a substantial lot. If you want to have your own custom home built in Buckhead's best school district then now may be your opportunity.
I have just reduced the price of this 1.3 acre wooded lot by $100,000 to $200,000. This lot is at 3717 Cloudland Drive, just off of Paces Ferry and Mt Paran roads, and perhaps Buckhead's most convenient location. It is located in the Jackson Elementary School district (Buckhead's highest test scores)! The lot is 100% buildable and an access driveway has already been installed.
The lot is 100 yards from I-75 so there is some road noise, but the dense tree cover is a good buffer and the price is the best land value in Buckhead. Click Here…

Today in Buckhead there are more homes than ever before available under $500,000. This pricing combined with interest rates around 4% has helped many of my clients buy homes in Atlanta's best area and still get a phenomenal value. Below are a few of my favorites.
Foreclosure Near Chastain Park

Does Your Realtor Secretly Want You To Pay More?
Friday, July 8th, 2011 at 5:28am. 495 Views, 0 Comments.
A few years ago the book "Freakonomics" was published. The book takes a provocative approach to analysing how economics impacts our every-day lives in unseen ways and has sold over 4 million copies to date. One section of the book specifically singles out real estate agents and states that a real estate agent simply cannot properly represent their buyers well since their compensation is a percentage of the sale price. The authors theorizes that the economic incentive for a Realtor is in direct opposition to the clients interest and therefore a real estate agent cannot fairly represent a buyer (who wants the lowest possible price).
Ever since the book was published I regularly have people ask me whether Freakonomics is correct. My answer is that "No"…
Buckhead Lot Sales Increasing
Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 7:20am. 510 Views, 1 Comments.
When the market is down and home prices are low, new home construction takes a dive. Homeowners can often find existing homes to purchase for much less than it would cost to build a comparable home and builders are certainly not going to build a speculative home without a buyer already commited.
So in 2010 there were only 21 lots sold in Buckhead with an average sale price of $584,000 and a lot size of just over one acre. The most expensive lot sold was prime acreage in Tuxedo Park that sold for $3.7 Million.
When you consider that there are currently 116 lots for sale in Buckhead, this is an anemic rate of sales. However, in the last 60 days we have seen a sharp increase in lot buying activity. Only ten lots in Buckhead have sold so far this…
Buckhead Home Sales Start Their Climb
Thursday, April 7th, 2011 at 4:24pm. 477 Views, 3 Comments.
It seems every day now that I see signs of the economic recovery starting to take place and I am excited to report that the recovery seems to have started in Buckhead real estate. Anecdotaly, business has been booming and our clients have been thrilled to be able to take advantage of the incredible prices and interest rates available, but I now I have reliable statistics to report that indicate a rise in the market.
The noticable decline in inventory of available Buckhead homes has caused much greater competition among buyers. In fact, it has been 2+ years since I have seen the level of buyer competition that I am seeing today (see my February blog post about the market heating up).
As the chart below shows, there were 172 homes sold in Buckhead…

728 Home For Sale In Buckhead
Thursday, January 27th, 2011 at 3:58pm. 558 Views, 1 Comments.
We have 728 Buckhead homes for sale today on the Buckhead real estate section of HirshRealEstate.com. The fact that has me very excited today is that the number of homes for sale has declined in recent months while the number of actual sales has increased during 2010 by 8% over 2009.
The net result is that the single-family Buckhead real estate market has finally come below the 12-month supply levels. This is based on 2011 sales staying the same as 2010, but in fact , I predict that the number of homes sold in Buckhead will increase by nearly 10% again, which will bring us back close to 2007 levels!
The thing to keep in mind, whether you are a buyer or seller, is that you only need to find one home to buy or one buyer who wants your home. Statistics…
