8 Steps to Help Preserve Your Neighborhood From Foreclosed Homes

I just came across this great blog article written by Gena Riede, a REMAX agent in Sacramento California. 

As the number of foreclosures grows it really is important for us all to be pro active in solutions that protect our neighborhood. We can no longer just complain that the bank or listing agent isn’t maintaining the home as needed.

The people that are supposed to be accountable need to be held accountable but if they won’t do their job then we need to take steps to preserve our homes.

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped us put on this great event.

Country Walk 4th of July Parade

Hi Neighbors,

 

The Country Walk annual 4^th of July parade and festivities will be this Friday.  So I hope everyone has planned to have a decorated float, bike, car, etc. in the parade.  If you own a business and want free advertising and want to have an entry – you are welcome to showcase away.  We have 8 categories in which you will be judged on.  Registration and parade line up begins on the corner of Bradford Lane and Country Walk Drive at 9am.  The parade will start around 9:30am.  If you are not participating in the parade, feel free to put out a chair and cheer our entries on.  After the parade we will have balloons and popsicles for all the kids.  Then around 11:30 we will have pizza, drinks, and a DJ in the pavilion so bring your bathing suits and cool off after while you are waiting.  Announcements of the parade winners will be just before lunch is served. 

I would like to thank all those that have volunteered so far, but we still need a few more hands.  If you are willing to help, please let me know. 

Also, don’t forget about the Powder Springs 4^th of July Celebration in the Powder Springs Square.  For more information about this you may go to www.cityofpowdersprings.org. 

If you’re not attending or you’re out of town, well I hope you have a Happy 4^th of July! 

Sincerely,

 

Barbara Southard

Country Walk – Adult Pool Party

Hi Neighbors,

 

I wanted to let you know that we are having an adult pool party this Saturday, June 28^th starting at 7pm and goes until about 11pm.  The pool area will close at 6:45 to all children for this party.  No one under the age of 21 will be allowed in.   For those that are interested in babysitting, I have set up a couple of teenagers that will group babysit in my home.  The cost will be $10 per child for the evening and snacks will be provided. You must RSVP for the babysitting separate and I can give you more details.

 

We will provide some food (probably BBQ or Chicken Wings) and soft drinks; however we are asking people to bring an appetizer or dessert type dish.  If you have an odd number address, please bring a dessert and if you have an even number address, please bring a side dish or appetizer.  If you want alcoholic drinks you must bring them in a plastic bottle or cans because glass isn’t allowed in the pool and pavilion area.

 

We will have a DJ, some fun water activities, and who knows what else.  All I ask is that you please RSVP to me so that I can get a count for how much meat to order.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Powder Springs, Ga, market report

As of today there are 816 homes for sale in Powder Springs, Cobb County, Georgia.

From Jan1, 2008 through May 31,2008 there have 231 homes sold in the same area for an average of 46.2 hoes sold per month.

What this means is that at the current rate of absorbtion we have a 17.6 month supply of homes for sale. The realty is that many of the homes currently for sale will not sell. The homes that will sell are price at the midddle to lower price point for similar homes and they are in ready to move in condition.

The good news is that there are still buyers out there. The bad news is that “top dollar” today is not what it was last year. If you are selling your current home and moving to another home in the Atlanta area all of this really does not present much of a problem. Whatever theoretical loss or discount that you may take on your current home can be made up on the purchase of your next home. You may even come out ahead on the whole thing if you can adjust to the idea of a correct price on your current home.

Lt Col. Stanislo and Unknown 4503

For the last four years on the Saturday before Memorial Day, my son and I have gone with the scouts to decorate the graves at the National Cemetary in Marietta. This is a truly amazing experience. There are over 18,000 graves on about 23 acres and the scouts put flags on every one of them.

Like I said, it’s a very moving experience. We had the honor of paying tribute to people like Lt Colonel Nick Karl Stanislo who I don’t know but he served in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam.

But also honored the unknown soldiers like unknown 4503

Remember that Memorial day is about more than potato salad and bbq. Take a few minutes this weekend to give thanks for Lt Col Stanislo, unknown 4503, and the hundres of thousands of others who have served so that we may live free.
