    Some design ideas seem to strike the right cord at just the right time.  Anyone who actively follows interior design trends (or motion pictures) will remember Something’s Got to Give, the romantic comedy with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson.  The movie was written by Nancy Meyers, who has had her hand in other great...

    The Atlanta Journal and Constitution recently wrote an article outlining the positive trends in Metro Atlanta’s housing market. Good news for those looking to invest in their homes and neighborhoods.

    Arielle Kass from the AJC reported that metro Atlanta home prices have climbed back to the highest point in 18 months, as inventory drops and more buyers hit the market.

    Atlanta’s Case-Shiller index score has not been higher since August 2011, when the...

    Our friend, Laura Joines from Sun Trust has provided us with a timely update on mortgage rates. Take a look, jumbo loans are back!

    Please see attached for latest Rates Update for purchase transactions, assuming a 30 day lock and 1% origination fee .  Note that rates are up about 1/8-1/4% over last week’s update.  Today was a rough day for mortgage bonds based on a better than expected Jobs Report today....

  • Just as fashion runs in a cyclical pattern, home design trends also tend to repeat themselves.  The neon colors of the eighties, something that seemed so outdated in the nineties, are popping up everywhere today.  The brass fixtures, hardware and plumbing that we in the industry have been pulling out and replacing for clients for the last 20 years, well get ready, they are coming back. Not necessarily in the same way.  The shiny builder brass will hopefully never return.  But after decades of cool polished chrome and satin nickels, the trend is shifting to warmer metals...

    The real estate market has been a wild ride for the last few years.  Thankfully, things are smoothing out and the rollercoaster is heading uphill.  That leaves many people revisiting the dream of building a new home and reopening their file of ideas or plans. 

    At Home Rebuilders, we’ve helped many people realize their dream of a new home, designed especially with their family and goals in mind.  Unlike renovations where we are often constrained by existing floor plans, layouts and structure, new home...

  • Springtime can't be beat in Atlanta.  Pergolas, garden sheds, pool houses and screen porches are all value adding additions to your home that capitalize on this most glorious season.  With attention to detail and sensitive material choices, one can create an extension of the home that compliments the space.  By picking up and repeating design elements from one stucture to the next, a rythm is developed.  Sometimes outbuildings or sheds serve a purely utilitarian need- lawn and garden tools, children's sports equipment.  Other times, a...

  • Home Builders Announce Housing Finance System Reform Plan

     

    WASHINGTON, March 2 - The National Association of...

  • Happy Monday – it’s almost over! Attached are current rates for purchase money mortgages. Pricing is still excellent, and our jumbo pricing is best in market.

     Note that rates improve ¼% on jumbo loans for customers who autodraft their mortgage from a ST checking account, so we could be at 3.875% on a jumbo 30 fixed for such clients buying a new home. That is as good as conforming pricing, so there’s really no need for clients to avoid jumbo loans (other than the pesky 20% down payment requirement). Our DR loan...

  • The Office of Buildings of the City of Atlanta has increased their Permit Fees. And though the information is just making the rounds on the customer level (that would be the builders and remodelers – aka. taxpayers), the increases were adopted by the City Council last fall, effective October 18, 2011. Very interesting!? Clearly as the...
