Bieber home shopping update
Posted by thunsicker in Atlanta Real Estate, Famous People in Atlanta on February 20, 2014
It looks like Justin isn’t ready to commit. According to TMZ, he has decided to rent for three months until he finds that perfect location. Like I said, I didn’t believe the other rumor since that house is so close to the street, but this house, the craziest house in quasi Buckhead (more Sandy Springs than Buckhead), makes sense. His temporary Atlanta home is that of record producer Dallas Austin. The four bedroom 5,500 sq. ft. home resembles a spaceship.
If he wants my opinion, he should just pay the big bucks and buy Tyler Perry’s estate on Paces Ferry Road for $28M. It has the security and privacy he needs, and is such a good location with easy access to I-75 to get intown and go to the airport. This estate would require a lot of upkeep and maintenance with the fabulous grounds and gardens and it comes with quite a hefty tax bill which was reduced in 2012 to $285,000 but was as high as $397,771 in 2010, though, so I guess his search continues… I use to have a listing in Ball Ground that has studio already built in, would definitely give him privacy too. I’ll have to think more about what will fit the bill.
Justin Bieber is home shopping in Atlanta
Posted by thunsicker in Atlanta Real Estate, Buckhead, Famous People in Atlanta on February 19, 2014
UPDATE 2/24/2014 Bieber tweeted that he never even looked at this home. There was even a stunt by morning DJ’s that has been published to make fun of the whole thing. Anyway, he’s here in a rental but this is NOT going to be his house. Great publicity for the agent and great exposure for the house is all that really came out of the rumor.
Atlanta is home to many celebrities, and it looks like another one might be heading our way.
Justin Bieber has been looking to make Atlanta his home so he can be closer to the thriving hip hop community. According to TMZ, he has his eye on a sprawling estate off Blackland Road in Buckhead. Listed at $10,950,000, this 16,000 sq. ft., 7 bedroom/13 bathroom home has a lot to offer from energy efficient geothermal HVAC systems to a 70 foot pool/spa, gym, elevator and much, much more.
It is yet to be seen whether he really is interested or if this is just a way to generate interest in this property. According to his published interests – can’t be visible from the street (preferably secluded on 5+ acres), minimum of 10,000+ sq. ft., and lists for between $4 and $10 mil., this may not be the home for him. While the price and size may suit him, we’ll have to see whether he will settle for less acreage; the lot is listed at less than two acres.

Happy New Year!
Posted by thunsicker in Uncategorized on January 8, 2014
Whew! December was quite a busy month! For some reason, December has always been a good month work-wise, and this year was no exception. Of course, with a young child, there is a lot to do to prepare for Christmas. And if both of those things weren’t enough, on the 10th we converted from Prudential to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services!
Here is a nice article about the conversion from the Atlanta Business Chronicle:
Prudential set to become Berkshire Hathaway
by Douglas SamsCommercial Real Estate Editor- Atlanta Business ChronicleAtlanta’s largest residential real estate company plans to make a bold move into the ultra-competitive luxury home market.
The push comes almost eight months after Prudential Georgia Realty, probably known best for new home sales in suburban Atlanta markets, was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-A, BRK-B) affiliate HomeServices of America Inc.
Now we’re on to 2014 and have new listings that will be popping up soon. I’ll be posting some in the days to come, but for now, we are hoping your year is off to a great start and you are staying warm!
October Market Update
Posted by thunsicker in Atlanta Real Estate on November 19, 2013
Here are the Prudential Market Updates for Buckhead and Vinings in the month of October:
Sales in Buckhead have dropped month over month and year over year. I believe this is primarily due to decreased inventory, but it is also a seasonal adjustment. As a result with 6 years of inventory available, sales are slowing and inventory is climbing in the the over $2M market.
October Market Update – Buckhead
Vinings remained steady with a much higher increase in sales price. I believe that is primarily due to the higher end homes (at and over $1M) moving again at a great pace. Many of those homes had been on the market for quite a while, but with no new inventory coming on the market, I believe buyers finally picked from what existed versus continuing to wait and hope for what they wanted to come on the market. We had a great flurry of the newer high end homes sell this spring and finally this fall the remodeled high end homes have gone under contract. That could partially be due to the sellers compromising further in price as well.
October Market Update – Vinings
I’m including more specific Vinings data from another source as well that I find to be interesting.
Under $800k
| Location: | ZIP 30339 |
| Price Range: | $0 – $799,999 |
| SQFT Range: | 0 – No Limit |
| Property Types: | Residential Detached – All Properties – All Properties |
| Bedrooms: | 0 – No Limit |
| Full Baths: | 0 – No Limit |
| Half Baths: | 0 – No Limit |
| Year Built: | 0 – No Limit |
Look at the balancing of inventory to demand that has taken place over the past year in Vinings under $800,000. Inventory has steadily declined and transactions have increased. This is great news as well. It shows us that homes in 30339 that are priced right will sell.
$800k and Up
| Location: | ZIP 30339 |
| Price Range: | $800,000 – No Limit |
| SQFT Range: | 0 – No Limit |
| Property Types: | Residential Detached – All Properties – All Properties |
| Bedrooms: | 0 – No Limit |
| Full Baths: | 0 – No Limit |
| Half Baths: | 0 – No Limit |
Notice the volume of sales in April (which were newer construction over $1M) and then last month. I’ve pulled this over the past 2 years to show you the significance in the volume change. There has been pent up demand for the higher end homes, but the remodels weren’t selling this spring and then, as of last month, they are moving. This definitely sends us a message that buyers want Vinings enough to compromise or set their expectations a bit higher on price points. This is great news for us and also indicates a need for high end homes on the market in Vinings again.
As always, let me know if you might be interested in selling as I have buyers that are still looking!
