Concerned neighbor on Woodland here. Wondering if there will be an alternate Road leading out of the townhomes besides tiny Woodland Drive? As this is a dangerous road at the stop sign that is at Old Haywood Rd. Please let me know. Thank you

Comment on Are Off-Market Real Estate Transactions Unethical? by Graham Hill

Graham Hill — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 06:27:11 +0000

> If private sales lead to lower purchase prices for the buyer, why would a seller prefer this?

Sellers like off-market for several reasons. Two of the most common are privacy and speed of the transaction.

If seller doesn’t want the whole community to know the property is for sale, they can pursue a private sale off-market. They may get a lower price, but not necessarily.

Often the value of the property is easy to determine. Local professional buyers know what the property is worth, and it is often easy to find a buyer that will pay an appropriate price, without having to market the property. Those sales can be arranged for off-market, and the sale is faster, less expensive for the seller, and won’t necessarily require the same amount of work that a public, on-MLS sale would require.

Comment on David Weekley Homes Places Intentional Emphasis on 55+ Market in Atlanta by Elizabeth Lundy

Elizabeth Lundy — Tue, 27 May 2025 18:04:54 +0000

Cherokee County changed the law regarding senior/disabled exemption for school taxes effective January 1, 2025. This is from the Cherokee County Tax Assessor’s website:

SB 388 was approved by the Georgia General Assembly in the 2023-24 session and approved by voters in the May 2024 primary. It goes into effect Jan. 1, 2025 and is applicable to tax year 2025 and beyond.
The law removes the cap on the home value for the Senior/Disabled School Tax Exemption. This exemption applies only to School Maintenance & Operations and School Bond taxes levied by the Board of Education.
Homeowners who now have the Senior/Disabled Tax Exemption will be grandfathered and do not need to reapply. If all owners on the deed are not on the homestead exemption, please visit the Tax Assessor’s Office in person no later than April 1, 2025. Photo ID with an address matching the property address is required. If you are unsure who is on your exemption (not the deed, assessment notice, or tax bill), you must call the Tax Assessor’s Office at 678-493-6120 to inquire.
Anyone who will qualify for the Senior/Disabled Tax Exemption after Jan. 1, 2025 will have to meet a five-year homestead requirement. If you do not have a homestead exemption and are close to qualifying for the Senior/Disabled Homestead Exemption, we encourage you to apply for your homestead exemption by April 1, 2025.

Comment on 6 Steps to a Successful Home Renovation by shef

shef — Thu, 22 May 2025 20:41:21 +0000

Absolutely! Waste removal is a crucial aspect of any home renovation that often gets overlooked during the planning phase. Properly managing construction debris, old materials, and packaging waste can help keep the worksite clean and safe while also avoiding delays. Whether you choose to rent a dumpster, schedule pickups with a local waste removal service, or use designated recycling centers, planning ahead ensures smooth progress. It’s also an environmentally responsible step, as you can sort recyclable materials from general waste. Including waste removal in your renovation timeline and budget will save you time, stress, and unexpected costs down the line.

Comment on Should I Test My Home for Radon? by Andrews Martin

Andrews Martin — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 04:54:59 +0000

Radon testing is such an important step for homeowners, especially those with private wells. I never realized how accessible radon test kits are at local hardware stores, and the fact that UGA offers an affordable test for only $15 is amazing. It’s good to know that doctors and health clinics can provide guidance if there’s concern about exposure. I’ll definitely check out the UGA Extension page for more details. Thanks for sharing this valuable resource!

Comment on Metro Atlanta Property Taxes Among Highest in US by Ron Marino

Ron Marino — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 05:14:11 +0000

This part of the article reall jumped out to me:

“In 2023, 65% of new single-family detached homes were built on lots under 9,000 square feet. A whopping 40% of single-family detached homes are being built on lots 7,000 square feet or less.”

Where I live its crazy to think of 7,000 sq ft lots. That would only be about twice the square footage of the houses themselves. Thanks for the article – great food for thought!

Interesting article. I live on the border of Illinois and Indiana and Indiana has a 1% tax cap for owner-occupied houses, and Illinois has no tax cap and Illinois property taxes just keep getting higher each year. I’ve got some friend that live in Texas and their taxes are about 3% – now that’s crazy!
