Enjoy this Cobb County real estate news. As a full time, full service real estate agent, I would love to work for you on your next Cobb County real estate transaction.
Cobb County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. It was created December 3, 1832. As of the 2000 census, the population is 607,751. The county's population continues to grow. The county was named for Judge Thomas Willis Cobb, who in the early 19th century was a United States Representative and Senator from Georgia.
One of the questions I get quite a bit from potential buyers goes something like this. “How can I cheaply get into the Walton High School district”.
There isn’t an easy answer to this question as this is one of the most sought after school districts in Cobb County.
I did, however, just come across this interesting foreclosure property.
The house is in the East Cobb golf course community of Indian Hills. It’s a three bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom split-level home on a little under a third of an acre.
The home is a foreclosure and is listed at $218,900. In the past (March of 2007) the home sold for $330,000 and I can remember a few years back when tear-downs in Indian Hills were going for more that $218,900.
If you would like more information about this East Cobb foreclosure in Indian Hills or if you’d like pictures of the property or a chance to see the inside, please use the contact form to get in touch with me.
I get this question quite a bit, or at least some variation of “Where did the money go when the housing bubble popped?”. In the car this morning I heard an NPR piece that related quite well to the question at hand. I wish I could embed the audio here, but a link is going to have to suffice.
One of the opinions in this piece is that if the rise and fall of house valuationswere theonly thing going on over the past few years, everything would still be ok. It’s when homeowners started treating their homes as personal banks that the real estate world became dicey.
A few people sent me links to this and then I saw it on another blog and figured I just had to post it, even though I wasn’t the one to “break the news”. Enjoy!
Back in February of 2006 I announced that Emerson Overlook was breaking ground near Marietta Square. Now, it’s ready to be occupied and over half of the units have been sold.
I just came across this video done by the City of Marietta about Emerson Overlook. I apologize for not finding a way to embed the video into this site. You’re going to have to click on the link here and then the link at CoM’s site to watch. Enjoy!

The have been many rumors surrounding the re-development of the Belmont Hills shopping center. I blogged about it back in November of 2006, but now the plan that the developer has submitted has changed a bit. Here’s the new info:
Demolishing and rebuilding the shopping center will be completed in 2012
Cobb County Commissioners decided this week that until, at least, March of 2008 no new rezoning applications would be considered for a commercial stretch of Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb.
The three mile stretch in question is between Paper Mill Road and Roswell Road.
Rob Hosack, who heads the office, said his planning and zoning experts want time to develop design guidelines for projects that might replace the office buildings and strip shopping centers.
Six sidewalk projects have been started or planned for streets in Marietta. Funding was established by a 1 percent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Here’s a list of the streets and when construction should occur.

Grove Street Partners is planning a mixed use development in the Galleria area. It won’t be quite as tall as Park Vinings, but it will be right across the street from it.
This new project will consist of two towers. The first will be an 18 story tower with 350,000 square feet of office space. The second tower will be 15 stories tall and consist of an upscale 200 room hotel with 50 condos on top. Also included in this, yet unnamed, project will be 1,000 underground parking spaces and ground level retail and restaurant spaces.
Expect the project to break ground in the fall on 2008.
