So when I got the idea for The Georgia Craft Brewery Tour, it was 2019. Late 2019 in fact. And while I have been to a few since then, the blogging about it kinda went to the wayside with this b*tch called COVID! It really threw a monkey wrench into a whole lot of activities, right? But....let's fast forward .... 26 MONTHS!!! .... and the tour has returned. Now I first have to admit, beer and the desire to drop some pounds from your waistline are not the best match. UGH! There's a reason it's called beer belly.....but...I'll just have to work harder to work it off! So, yesterday (Saturday) with the not so warm winter weather of Atlanta making me stir crazy and a case of cabin fever, I said to my husband, "Let's go for a drive. Someplace." We ended up headed North on I-85 towards Commerce... 01/23/2022

Which comes first, the chicken (buying a new home) or the egg (selling your current home)? There is no simple answer. Knowing and understanding your options can help you make the decision that’s right for you.

It's a tough assignment but someone has to report on all these craft breweries that are popping up....well almost everywhere it seems... in Georgia! My count is around 68 of them...and this post is about one that's not even included in that number. But on we go with another edition of The Georgia Craft Brewery Tour! The Georgia Craft Brewery Tour -- Stillfire Brewing Suwanee, Georgia So I stumbled on the Grand Opening of StillFire Brewing via a Google Alert that is set for Buford Highway. It was a VERY rainy Saturday for their Grand Opening weekend (meaning no outdoor patio use... and they have two really nice ones!) so I really was wondering if there would be many people there. Haha! When I arrived, the brewery was at capacity. They had room for one more...and I made it in. I think the... 10/26/2019

With the current uncertainty about the economy triggered by a potential trade war, some people are waiting to purchase their first home or move-up to their dream house because they think or hope home prices will drop over the next few years. However, the experts disagree with this perspective.Here is a table showing the predicted levels of appreciation from six major housing sources:As we can see, every source believes home prices will continue to appreciate (albeit at lower levels than we have seen over the last several years). But, not one source is calling for residential real estate values to depreciate.Additionally, ARCH Mortgage Insurance Company in their current Housing and Mortgage Market Review revealed their latest ARCH Risk Index, which estimates the probability of home price... 09/12/2019

Here is the breakdown according to Experian: 16% Very Poor (300-579) 18% Fair (580-669) 21% Good (670-739) 25% Very Good (740-799) 20% Exceptional (800-850) Randy Hopper, Senior Vice President of Mortgage Lending for Navy Federal Credit Union said,“Just because you have a low credit score doesn’t mean you can’t purchase a home.

Traditionally, they would have been right.Buyer demand has seasonality to it. Usually, this falls off in the winter months, especially in areas of the country impacted by arctic conditions.That hasn’t happened this year.Demand for housing has remained strong as mortgage rates have remained near historic lows. Even with an increase in rates forecasted for 2019, buyers are still able to lock in an affordable monthly payment. Buyers are increasingly jumping off the fence and into the market ... 03/04/2019
