I'm sure you may be wondering what happened to our distressed seller at Wade Plantation in Martinez GA.   
 
After putting out the blog and entering this home in the MLS, the interest was incredible.  Buyers and agents came out of the woodwork  - many new inquiries and some buyers that we had not heard from in many months.   After sending out about 300 e-mails as well as bulletins in the MLS and other marketing methods, we ended up with three solid written offers at the end of the first day on the market  and 2 verbal offers. Many more buyers who had not acted quickly were remorseful that they had not jumped on this opportunity to have instant equity in a great neighborhood.

Those who are familiar with the current new construction sales activity wouldn't believe it, but I Friday night at 7:30 PM these are just some of the cars outside the Crown site office in Willhaven community.  On Friday night most realtors and builders are doing other things but this is an exception. There were well over a dozen cars, buyers and contracts being written in tours of the model home.

My client, a hard working, kind lady, has been trying for a while to work things out with her lender to stay in her home. For weeks and weeks she has not gotten a straight answer from her lender and has been unable to stop the foreclosure process.

This is truly a distress sale!  This great Martinez GA home is convenient to Ft. Gordon & shopping and has  almost 2700 sq ft, 4BR/2 1/2 BA,  2-car side entry garage and 1/2 acre of land.  At $149,900  it is priced about $50,000 below value!  The home across the street is listed for $299,900!

 For those of you who follow new home construction in the Augusta Georgia area, it's about to get very interesting. Although local builders have been hanging on through the somewhat slow times, a few new builders to our market have had an incredible impact.

 Battle lines are being drawn as the new homes are being built at a much lower cost and are loaded with upgrades previously out of reach to average consumers. Over the last few years a couple of Atlanta based builders such as Trillium as well as R&B Construction recognized Augusta as a great opportunity and started building. Although they were able to compete at a lower price point their homes were not substantially different quality than those of local "production builders". When the market turned…
