Interesting article on where people are moving within the US…

City of Atlanta

I ran across an article that parses IRS data on which states are gaining population and which are losing population.  GA is doing pretty well on the list… only a couple of states gained more population that we did here in GA.  Texas and North Carolina picked up more households than the 37,000+ Georgia picked up.  The big losers were Michigan and New York.

The information was assembled by the AP from IRS data points.  Here is a link back to the article. Read the rest of this entry »

That has to be the most tired and over-used statement in real estate.  But there is a problem with it…  It kind of died as a truism.

The idea behind that statement is that homes in the right area could bring more money.  And that has always been true…  But there is a big donut hole in the theory…

People go to where they can get the house they want…

But Zillow says…

Well....if nobody wants to play Conkers with m...

I know… most sellers at some point take a look at the ‘Zestimate’ that Zillow produces for their property.  And there is almost always one of two reactions…

SRBC Car Show Delayed until May 16th

The Smoke Rise Baptist Church Car Show, scheduled for today was delayed by weather.  Overnight rains forced the organizers to alter the date, fearing more poor weather.

A few cars showed up this morning, but apparently the website and email list was pretty effective at getting out the word.

One of the cars that was there this morning was this beautiful Shelby GT500 clone.  Gotta love a 428 Cobra Jet.
