When Sharon Ivie became pregnant two years ago, she joined a group of other stay-at-home moms for the company and advice.
“It’s our little networking group.” she said of the MOMS Club of Roswell – East. “That’s how I’ve gotten through the past two years,” said Ivie. “We bounce things off each other about how to raise kids.”
On a weekly basis, the club, which is open to Roswell residents living east of GA 400, offers a variety of activities that mothers can attend with their children… Read the rest of this entry »

Edgewater Cove is a tremendous subdivision located within eastern Cobb County right off of Shallowford Road. Like most East Cobb locations in Roswell, the homes here provide great access to historic Roswell/GA400 to the east as well as Marietta and alternative commute options to the west and south.
The subdivision itself started being developed in 1997. The Roswell homes here are very impressive and well built. Most are three side brick, traditional built between 1997-1999 but have a unique classic look. Two homes have sold in this neighborhood in the past 6 months: 3128 Denton Place, Roswell GA 30075 sold for $655,000 in April, 2009 and 3143 Denton Place, Roswell GA 30075 sold for $612,500 in May, 2009.
Several things stand out about our featured property. First, it is a very large house with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. Also, the terrace level is extremely impressive.

A new listing in one of my favorite Roswell subdivisions, Lakeside at Ansley, headlines our Roswell homes feature for today. 140 Ansley Way, Roswell GA 30075 came on the market listed at $900,000. Click here to view the listing by entering in the MLS# 3938103.
The Lakeside at Ansley subdivision is located in extreme northern Roswell off of Cox Road close to the Cherokee County line. The vibe here is more low key than many other parts of Roswell. In fact, it might be more comparable to the Milton area in Fulton and the Woodstock area in Cherokee. I would rank Lakeside at the top for any development in either of those areas which is impressive since potential homeowner’s here get a more convenient location than some of the neighborhoods have in Milton and Woodstock. On the downside, there is a lack of natural trees in significant portions of the neighborhood. The homes in Lakeside can range in price from the high 700′s to the low $1M’s and were built earlier this decade.
Our featured Roswell home at 140 Ansley Way was built in 2003 and features 5 bedrooms along with 5 and a half bathrooms. The exterior is four sides of an impressive lighter brick. The gourmet kitchen features chef’s island, hidden walk-in pantry and opens to the keeping room and family room. There’s a terrifc office/study on the main level with coiffered ceiling and wood panneling. The highlight of the home might be the tremendous screened in porch as well as an open deck and terrace level patio. We’ll be back tomorrow with more features on homes of interest in Roswell, Georgia.

I have decided to forgo our normal Roswell homes post today due to a small amount of Roswell market activity. Instead, I think it’s a perfect time to focus some attention on the new appraisal process and the impact it is having on all real estate transactions. Why would you want to read this article? A fellow agent told me this week that 4 of her last 5 purchase deals had appraised below the sales price agreed to by all parties. The last of which came in over $40k below the sales price. Why is this happening? Find out below.
There are tremors running throughout the real estate market. Are they a forewarning of an aftershock following the plummet we have already experienced throughout the US?
Let’s take a really quick look back. Unless you have been under a rock or in North Korea (wonder which would be preferable?) you’ve witnessed the US government commit a vast vast amount of taxpayer dollars towards pushing the real estate market into a recovery. They have committed over 1 trillion dollars towards buying mortgage coupons in order to artificially hold interest rates down. This is the reason we have seen rates in the 4′s and low 5′s even with looming inflation concerns… Read the rest of this entry »
