4816 Hopeton Drive – Oakleigh Subdivision – Powder Springs, GA

A home is more than just 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A home is an important part of your life. A place where special moments are shared with those we love the most and life-long memories are made. Are you curious to know what it is like living at 4816 Hopeton Drive in the Oakleigh Subdivision of Powder Springs, Georgia?  At The Connie Carlson Team we feel the best person to answer that question for you is the current home owner.  When asked what it was like living at 4816 Hopeton Drive, here is what they had to say.

Our highly esteemed subdivision, Oakleigh, is one of the best, if not the best, in the area. Oakleigh home owners have access to a stunning wrap-around porch club house, Olympic-size swimming pool, lighted tennis courts, baseball field, basketball court, beach volleyball, playground, shuffleboard and horseshoes.

Students who live in Oakleigh Subdivision can attend award winning schools such as Kemp Elementary, and the newly constructed Lovinggood Middle and Hillgrove High schools. This is the number one reason we moved to Oakleigh Subdivision and my kids have enjoyed it so much.

We love our home and have created so many wonderful memories here. From the moment we entered this home, we knew it was the one for us. The open floor plan, high ceilings and large windows make the living area feel airy. The fact that the family can be in the kitchen and family room, watching tv, doing homework and cooking and can all see and interact with each other is great!

The kids enjoy their large rooms, and the fact that the master bedroom is on the first floor makes them feel secure. The master bedroom features a huge walk-in closet, and the master bath has a large shower. The hot water heater was recently replaced, so there is plenty of hot water available for a long, luxurious shower. The second floor bonus room has its own full bathroom and makes a nice “man cave” for watching football or hanging out.

One of our favorite features of our home is the fenced back yard. It’s perfect for BBQ’s and parties with friends and family, or just playing with the kids, on a hot summer day. In the spring, it’s relaxing to sit on the terrace and read a book, with a gentle breeze blowing and birds chirping, in the background. The location of the house allows parents to see the school bus coming and know exactly when to pick up the children from the bus stop.

Although they love to cook in their large, updated kitchen, these homeowners hit the town on Friday nights! The Avenue – West Cobb is a great outdoor shopping center featuring restaurants such as Romano’s Macaroni Grill and Aspen Signature Steak House, as well as more casual restaurants. If you head toward Kennesaw, Barrett Parkway offers many restaurants and shopping destinations. No matter which direction you go, you can find something that the whole family will enjoy.

West Cobb is a wonderful area for families to raise their children. Besides the top-rated school districts and easy access to shopping areas, you also have peace of mind with low crime rates and wonderful people that make up the community.

West Cobb & Oakleigh Subdivision  - Housing Market Report

In West Cobb, after several positive market changes in the first half of 2010, signs of decline occurred again during the last half of the year. The effect of Federal Government stimulus actions during 4Q 2009-2Q 2010 have now expired, producing an apparent lapse in what had previously appeared to be the possible start of a recovery.

Even so, there were mixed indications of market direction in West Cobb such as the following:

Number of Sales

• • -6.1% lower YTD December, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009
  • 4Q 2010 down by -13.3% compared to 4Q 2009
  • Foreclosure percentage up slightly to 28.8% of 4Q 2010 sales, +5.6 percentage points above in 4Q 2009
  • Foreclosures were 48.5% of 4Q 2010 sales in the <$200K price range
  • Adding short sale transactions to foreclosures brings the portion of distressed sales to 40.6% of total 4Q 2010 sales
• Sales Prices
  • Median was lower again by -8.0% in 4Q 2010 compared to 4Q 2009
• Days on Market
  • 136 Days – flat compared to 4Q 2009
• Supply
  • Somewhat higher than in December, 2009 with11.0 months’ supply in December, 2010.

Several characteristics of this market changed during 4Q 2010.

Government homebuyer incentive programs likely caused an artificial uplift in many market measurements during the first half of 2010.  A result of that may be shown in a decline in sales following the expiration of the most recent stimulus programs.  Incentives may have caused some West Cobb buyers to move purchases forward in the year to take advantage of the incentive.

• The median number of days it takes to get a contract on a home remains high even though we are comparable with the 4^th quarter last year.
• More than 11 months of active listings exists when a balanced market is considered to be about 6 to 7 months supply.  Supply is extremely high in the higher price ranges for both new and resale properties.
• Distressed property sales represented more than 4 of every 10 sales, forcing prices lower and longer days to contract for non-foreclosure properties.
• The downturn in the second half of 2010 was somewhat exaggerated by the disruption of normal seasonal patterns resulting from the government purchase incentive programs.  However, even allowing for distortion, there were some troubling signs of market weakness in the degree of decline for some measures.  Limiting factors still exist in the economy that will take more time to turn around.  High unemployment, stagnant wages and high levels of foreclosure and short sale activity, may continue to combine to keep pressure on the market for some time to come.

Relevance to Sellers:
When viewing early 2010 market performance, Sellers should be mindful of the effect that buyer incentives created in the market.  That stimulus artificially boosted sales results through the first half of 2010, and likely moved some sales ahead as buyers hurried to take advantage of these incentives.  Lower median sales prices returned during the third and fourth quarters showing that buyer price resistance is still very high and suggesting that trying to price homes above market value will not likely be successful.

• Market-priced West Cobb properties continued to sell well at a median of 96.8% of their original listing price, within a median of 32 days on market, compared to a median of 76.7%  and 187 days for initially overpriced properties which made up 91% of listings in 4Q 2010.

Relevance to Buyers:

• Builders are offering more attractive pricing and buyer incentives to work off their smaller new home inventory.  New home median sales prices fell by -13.8% while resale homes were down by -11%.
• Properties that have been listed multiple times may indicate more highly motivated sellers resulting in greater discounts from list prices.
• Foreclosure, short sale properties and those that have been price-reduced may set up a more favorable negotiating environment for buyers, causing anxious sellers to negotiate away more of their listing price.

Distressed Property Sales around Oakleigh

According to statistics provided by RealValuator, in the last 12 months, 28% of home sales in Cobb County were bank owned properties.  Within a one-mile radius of Oakleigh Subdivision, foreclosure sales were considerably lower than Cobb County at an average 12.5% of all home sales.

As of March 8, 2011, RealValuator showed that there were 62 homeowners within one-mile of Oakleigh Subdivision that had received a foreclosure notice (they were behind on their mortgage).  There are an additional 21 homes that are currently in foreclosure and may, or may not be, on the market.  These homes represent what is called “shadow inventory”.  They represent actual and potential foreclosed properties that are going to be coming on the market – hence, putting additional downward pressure on our home values.

It is never good to have foreclosure sales in a neighborhood. And while these statistics are depressing, from the RealValuator reports that I ran on different areas of Cobb County, I can assure you that Oakleigh’s neighborhood is doing much better than other neighborhoods around Atlanta.

If you know of someone who is in trouble with their home, please advice them to call a REALTOR to discuss their options.  It is hard to fathom, but nearly 75% of all foreclosed upon homeowners never even tried to sell their home on them market.  As a Community, we need to work together to help our friends and neighbors avoid foreclosure by encouraging them to reach out to a local real estate professional.

As one of a number of Realtors who live and work in Oakleigh, I can assure you that we are all working hard to help maintain your home values.

Your Oakleigh Neighbor,
