Lake Redwine Plantation is Newnan Georgia’s premiere lake community. The centerpiece of the neighborhood is the beautiful 300 acre Lake Redwine which offers both scenic beauty and diverse recreational opportunities! And since the lake is limited to electric motors only, the quiet and serenity is never shattered by the roar of outboard motors or personal watercraft. This limitation also contributes to the great fishing, as anglers vie for Bass, Crappie, Bream and Catfish! And even if your home is not on the waters’ edge, there are many areas along the lake that are open to all community residents. In addition, there are two swimming pools and ALTA lighted tennis courts, and the clubhouse is available for special events. The community has sidewalks, underground utilities and streetlights... 04/02/2010

The Greenville - Lagrange Historic District in Newnan Georgia is a classic downtown neighborhood featuring every type of architecture from Greek Revival to Victorian. Coweta County was formed after Chief William McIntosh ceded Creek lands in Western Georgia by signing the Treaty of Indian Springs in 1825. The frontier town of Newnan soon attracted both wealthy planters and prosperous merchants, and remained one of the wealthiest towns in the country until the 1970’s. Much of this grandeur remains visible today in the stately mansions along both Greenville and LaGrange streets, including “Buena Vista,” which served as Confederate Headquarters during the Civil War Battle of Brown’s Mill in 1863, and “Sans Souci,” an excellent example of Victorian excess! But history aside, the neighborho... 03/27/2010

The College-Temple Historic District in beautiful Downtown Newnan Georgia is one of the town’s most charming and historically significant neighborhoods. The centerpiece of the community is the Male Academy Museum and the adjacent Temple Avenue Park. The Male Academy opened in 1883 as an all boys private school, and today the building houses a collection of historic artifacts and archives. The two and a half acre Temple Avenue Park is a passive common green with beautiful blooming shrubs and trees, quiet walkways, a gazebo and a fountain. This park is also the home of the Coweta Veterans' Memorial Plaza. The plaza was just recently dedicated on Memorial Day, 2009, and pays tribute to all Coweta County citizens that served their country in the armed forces! The district boasts many anteb... 03/24/2010

Recently USDA announced concerns regarding the availability of funds for fiscal year 2010 and that funding will likely be exhausted by the end of April 2010. According to Chase Rural Housing Services, the remaining funds for purchase transactions for the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Program, effective March 15, 2010 are 3.9 Billion dollars. Rest assured, once a loan has been approved by USDA, the loan will not be affected by the lack of funds.  When USDA approves a loan they issue what is termed a Conditional Commitment (RD Form 1980-18). The Conditional Commitments are issued for a period of 90 days, so only those loans which have not received commitments issued by USDA could be affected by the funding issue if funds are exhausted. Many agents and buyers have expressed concerns regard... 03/17/2010

My Atlanta Home Staging Oxymoron! This upcoming spring Real Estate market has put daily home staging projects on to Peachtree Home Staging's busy calendar.  The variety of projects has been phenomenal, confirming that every home, every seller and every Realtor requires unique attention for their specific presentation needs.  Often we think of home staging as formulating the proper look of a vacant home by bringing in furniture and accessories.  Or we think of occupied home staging;helping a seller declutter, putting things in storage and then making the right presentation working with the remainder of the home sellers furnishings and accessories. This season we are experiencing a large increase in home sellers really wanting "more" when it comes to occupied home staging.   I think the e... 03/13/2010

It’s the second day of March, and there is a prediction for significant snowfall in the metro Atlanta area. “Significant” means one inch or more of the white stuff. There are several considerations here that are noteworthy: 1)      This is Georgia. 2)      It is March. 3)      We have already had three snow storms this year. But there is one interesting side effect of Mather’s Nature’s madness. In the past the mere mention of the “S” word would send Atlantans into a panic, assaulting grocery stores and stripping milk and bread from the shelves like deranged lunatics. But now, we have become conditioned to the weather phenomenon. It’s just another work day. No fear, no panic, no stocking up on milk and bread. We will go about our normal business today as seasoned snow veterans. We have ... 03/01/2010

If this weekend is an indicator of things to come, the next two months are going to be very active in the Newnan and Coweta County real estate market. The phone has been ringing off the hook with approved buyers seeking to grab a bargain priced house and grab a nice tax credit to boot. And with interest rates still very low and with limits on seller contributions to closing soon to be enacted, there is a genuine sense of urgency to move now. We are gearing up to make the dream of home ownership a reality for a many buyers as we can. It is a noble calling, and we are ready and willing to fulfill it! 02/28/2010

        Although this investment property in Newnan, Ga. had recently had the hardwood floors refinished and had been freshly painted throughout, it still needed some "fluffing" to make it more appealing. By just adding a few furnishings and accessories, a potential tenant can judge the size of the rooms, and get an idea of how to place their belongings in the space. Which room would you be more excited about moving into? Southern Staging & Redesign 770-251-0608 home/office nan@southern-staging.com www.southern-staging.com 02/25/2010

It reached 60 degrees on a beautiful day in Newnan Georgia today. After all, this is supposed to be the sunny south! Tomorrow we are expected to hit 67 degrees, but after that we will gradually return back to unseasonably cool weather, as Thursday’s HIGH temperature is predicted to only achieve the 35 degree mark! This has been the coldest winter that I can recall since I moved to Georgia in 1973. We have experienced floods and heavy snowfall when typically we would be playing golf or working in the winter garden. So I’ll enjoy the warm day tomorrow and will try to get going with some outside chores around the house. It’s something that I’m actually looking forward to doing! 02/20/2010

I heard an interesting item yesterday on the news. The reporter stated that for the first time since records have been kept, that there was at least some snow on the ground somewhere in 49 of the 50 United States! Hawaii was the only exception. And although most of us are weary of winter weather stories and are ready for warmer temperatures, that really is an amazing declaration. Even Florida had some snow on the ground in it’s northern region. I’m not suggesting that we are in the midst of a mini ice-age but even the most cynical observer would have to admit that this has been one crazy winter. On the bright side, I’ve reloaded a new arsenal of snow photos. I’m thinking that I may hold on to some of them until July. Because quite a few of us have seen enough for one year! 02/13/2010

  As predicted, a snow squall blasted through the southern metro Atlanta region this afternoon, dropping from 2-5 inches of snow. And while that may seem paltry, especially in those areas that have seen several feet of snow accumulation, keep in mind that we don’t have snowplows or other snow removal equipment. So we pretty much have to wait until it melts. As temperatures drop into the 20’s tonight, the unsalted streets will glaze over with ice. And that always creates treacherous driving conditions. But clean, white snow is beautiful, and although we only see it on rare occasions, it is a nice change of scenery. And it always reminds me of the days of my youth north of the Mason-Dixon Line! But now I’m ready for spring!   02/12/2010

The preamble to the Realtor® Code of Ethics begins with the words: “Under all is the land. And while at first that may seem a bit cryptic, the fact of the matter is that it has never had more meaning than it does today! Where I live, in Coweta County Georgia, land was the hottest commodity in the earlier years of this decade. Developers were gobbling up any available acreage at nearly any price and even though production was at its peak, building lots were scarce. Today, land is poison. Banks will not lend money to purchase or develop it, and there are hundreds if not thousands of building lots lying fallow awaiting the return of the economic equivalent of spring. But land is still an excellent long-term investment. Those with cash reserves might want to consider foregoing paltry 1.35%... 01/25/2010

In our area, Newnan Georgia, we have a lot of value priced properties that attract many buyers. In many of these cases, the highest bid is either accepted on an electronic Internet system, or the listing agent calls for “highest and best bids: by a certain deadline. When I am representing a client and they ask me how much they should bid in these scenarios, I always reply with this question: “Is it more important for you to get a bargain or this house?” And it’s a fair question. It is possible to offer too much for a house and that might diminish the value attribute. But ff they love the house, and can see themselves spending many happy year there, it could have intrinsic value way beyond mere dollars and cents. The bottom line is always the same. I advise that they bid the most that t... 01/23/2010
