It is so wonderful to be approaching spring after a long winter. The grass and trees are coming out, and warmer weather is on the way.

Spring is our best real estate selling time of the year. People are ready to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Many are being planting beautiful things in their yards and many are gardening, fishing, biking, playing baseball or golf, hiking or just plain walking in God's wonderful creation.

How one cannot enjoy spring is hard to understand. Maybe it is the pollen, which is the only negative to many of us at this time of year.

This time of year, people start looking for homes, land and home on land. With the market so strong, it is a great time to be a seller, conversely, the interest rates are low, so it is a great time to be a buyer.

All of us at Lindsey's, Inc., look forward to being of service to you, our clients and customer. We a...

Our thoughts and prayers are with all who have been adversely impacted by the CAT 4 Tornado that struck our beautiful City and County of Homes.

As I walked down LaGrange Street, Greenville Street, Alpine Drive, Woodbine, East Broad Street and Hollis Heights over the weekend, one thought came to me. We really are Newnan Strong, and everyone is pitching in and helping those in need. There has been such an outpouring of support that we cannot stress enough the wonderful fabric of our community.

The magnificent trees are gone, and blue tarps are everywhere along the storms path, but there is an optimism and a determination to build back and make things even better than they were before. It will take time, but the scars will heal.

One miracle is that only one person died during the storm. The EMTs could not reach Barry Martin in time due to the obstacles caused by the storm, and we lost a very fine man. Saying all that, with the killer tornado being a CAT...

"It's a feeding frenzy. I listed the house at 9:30am and had seven showings by 12:30pm. I am writing an offer over the list price right now." This was the answer by a Realtor in our office when I asked how his new listing in downtown Newnan was going. We are seeing similar situations all the time in the current real estate market. The demand for housing is very high and the supply of listings are very low. This is creating a feeding frenzy for buyers looking for homes.      

As of February 22^nd, 2021, there were only 212 single-family detached homes listed for sale in Coweta County, on the Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GAMLS). The numbers of homes listed for sale continues to decrease. Real estate listings are a premium in the current market settings. I can remember as recently as a few years ago when there were regularly 600-800 single family detached homes for sal...

2021 – Real Estate in Coweta County

As we move into the new year, the future of real estate in Coweta County looks bright. There is a great amount of activity in all sectors of real estate including industrial, commercial and industrial. The area in and around "the Moreland exit", or exit 35 off Interstate 85, is seeing spectacular industrial development with huge companies like Amazon and Goodyear operating in massive, 1,000,000 + square foot buildings there. If you drive down Gordon Road from there, you will notice residential developments and subdivisions up and down that road.           

The Downtown Newnan real estate market is as hot as it ever been. The desire to be there, whether with a business or a home, is strong as ever. The prices reflect this robust demand. It is not uncommon to pay $150 a...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!

To say that 2020 was a very strange and challenging year would be an understatement for sure. As we approach 2021, we have the light at the end of the tunnel in sight. With a COVID vaccine on the way, we, also, face the wonderful prospect of no more political advertisements, at least, for a while.

Things should get better in 2021, and with that in mind, it is time to make New Year's Resolutions, as we always do. It is, also, time to set goals for the coming year. That is of utmost importance in real estate.

My New Year's resolution is to be kind to all and to show kindness even to those who are not kind to me. My goal in real estate is to help as many people as possible to achieve the lofty goal of home ownership.

To our friends, clients and customers, thank you for a great real estate year in 2020. It, surprisingly, was on...
