Kirkwood Atlanta Home Sales

GOOD NEWS!  The number of Kirkwood homes sold in the 2nd Quarter (April – June) are significantly UP from previous years and have more than doubled from earlier this year. 

The average home sales price ($228K)  in 2Q did decline from the previous years, but it was a great improvement from 1Q 2010 – up by almost $50,000. 

To sum up 2Q 2010:

• The number of homes sold is up about 25% from 2Q 2009
• Average sale price is slightly down from 2009 ($232K vs $228K)
• It is taking longer to sell a home (101 days on average) than it did this time last year
• This quarter was a big, big improvement from 1Q 2010 (Jan – March)

Major contributors to increase in 2Q 2010 home sales would be the historically low interest rates and tax incentives for first time home buyers.    

If you have questions about the data above and/or if you would like to better understand the value of your home, please don’t hesitate to call Kerry Lucasse at (404) 432.1844.

As an Atlanta real estate agent, I see hundreds of homes each year and have grown quite fond of the new contruction Craftsman-style homes around Atlanta.  You get all the period-style details, high ceilings and charm — without the maintenance that an older 1920s Craftsman Bungalow may require.

After trying to search for new or newer Craftsman homes online, I’ve noticed that it can be a bit of a challenge, so I created a one-stop shop on my website, www.ATLhomesearch.com. 

You can now search for ALL Craftsman-style homes for sale — by neighborhood, subdivision or zip code!

Last week, I listed a GORGEOUS Craftsman in Atlanta’s popular Kirkwood / Oakhurst neighborhood.  In addition to all the period details that people love (i.e. hardwoods, 11+ ft ceilings, etc), this home also features 4 bedrooms + 2 large bonus rooms, 3 full bathrooms and a 2-car garage.  It’s the best of both worlds!

CONGRATS to first-time home buyers Ben & Laura!  They just purchased a bungalow in East Lake (near the popular Oakhurst Village). 

Their 1920s brick bungalow has gorgeous hardwoods, an open floor plan and a fully renovated kitchen.  It would have sold for at least $35,000 more just a few years ago, but Ben & Laura were very savvy “first timers” and immediately knew it was the perfect home for them.  

Not only do they have a gorgeous new home at an exceptional price, Laura & Ben have a low interest rate on their mortgage AND they qualify for the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit.  

If you are thinking of buying your first home, the clock is ticking!  Please don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  To qualify for the tax credit, you need to purchase your home by November 30, 2009.
