Powder Springs is a quaint community about 20 miles west of downtown Atlanta.  The City offers a quiet, serene, and active lifestyle while having the convenience of all the amenities of a major metropolitan area.  Begun with settlers during Georgia’s Gold Lottery in the 1830′s, the area was originally incorporated as the Town of Springville due to the seven medicinal mineral springs surrounding the area.  The mineral water from these springs caused the sand around the springs to turn black like gunpowder and the City was later incorporated as Powder Springs in 1859.

The city’s motto: ‘ Small Enough to Know You, Large Enough to Serve You’ speaks to what makes the area so popular to those who live there.  This is the suburbs as they were originally envisioned.  Lovely communities close enough to a major city to commute to work and enjoy what the city offers but far enough away to know that you don’t live in the city.  Powder Springs embodies this type of living.  The area has many parks and trails for outdoor enjoyment but best known is likely the  Silver Comet Trail.

Due to the City’s location to the west of Atlanta, housing prices are significantly lower and you get a lot more ‘house’ for your money.  Case in point, 2203 Windermere Way.

This 5 Bedroom,  4 Bathroom, 3 sides brick beauty of a home in immaculate condition offered at the stunning price of $329,000!  Want to know more about this fabulous Powder Springs home?  Contact Tom or Mary Ann Anderson with The Anderson Group.  They would love to show it to you and tell you all about it!

If you’ve got a home to sell and you’re living in the Metro Atlanta area, you’ve gotten some good news as of today!  The National Association of Realtors released a report on Wednesday showing that home sales rose dramatically in August 2011 compared to August 2010.  Across the country the over increase was 18.6%.  In the Metro Atlanta area the rise was even more dramatic with the increase at 26.2 %.  There are 9 counties that constitute the Atlanta Metro area.

While home sellers have reason to celebrate (and many have after selling homes that have been listed for months), not all the news was good.  With the economy still acting like a roller coaster, the report also tells of home prices continuing to fall.  Digging into the details of the report, the Atlanta Journal Constitution found that home prices in the metro area fell by 7 %.  In August of 2010 the median house price was $111,100 and dropped to $103,300 in August 2011.

Continuing in the more positive vein of the news, it looks as though the sales trend could continue into September.   Home buyers once again have fabulous mortgage rates to work with.  The average fixed rate, 30-year mortgage fell to a record low of 4.09 percent last week, according to Freddie Mac.

If you’re looking to buy a home in the Metro Atlanta area (or really anywhere in the country!), the combination of low mortgage rates and historic lows in home pricing means NOW is the time to do so!  Whether you are looking to buy or sell, you need a great agent to help you and The Anderson Group stands ready to assist you in all your efforts.

One of the best things about hunting for a new home are the hidden gems that can be found with just a little bit of effort.  2447 Fallview Terrace is just such a hidden gem.  What looks to be little more than a charming, bungalow style home hides style, elegence and super family fun!

Located on the Southwest side of downtown Atlanta in the town of East Point, GA, the town says on it’s website, “The City of East Point offers the amenities of a large city with the safety, convenience, friendliness and charm of a small town.”   Some of those amentities are easy access to major highways, the South Fulton Medical Center, the airport and the Lakewood Ampitheatre, a major concert venue.  East Point, GA has much to offer and this home is certainly something!

 This 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1588 square foot home is big on windows and wood giving it a wonderful bright but still very cozy feel.  Hardwood floors and wood paneling in some rooms adds to the feel.  The newly renovated kitchen keeps the brightness with all white appliances, granite counters and tile splashbacks.  Pouring light into the kitchen is the gorgeous sun room with floor to ceiling windows.  Nearby is the dining room, separate living room, a study and can’t forget the deck which has quite a view.  Upstairs you find 3 bedrooms and an office.  But, what really makes this place special is found on the terrace level.

The newly finished terrace level with its stone floors, wood stove, granite & glass shower and lots of play room, leads out to a covered patio under the deck.  This is the entrance to your family’s and friend’s favorite place to enjoy the summer – the magnificient salt water pool!

This home boasts a back yard large enough to have not only the in-ground pool with plenty of pool deck space for lounge chairs but a lovely grassy area with a wooden garden swing.  Terraced levels to one side provide yet another back yard section perfect for a playground set or garden.

Priced at an unbelievable $179,000, this amazing find in the heart of East Point, GA is just waiting for someone to steal it away!  Like most hidden gems, once publicized, they rarely last long.  Don’t let this one get away!
