Inferior home for superior lifestyle

The north Georgia mountain market has been fortunate in comparison to other markets around the country.  The luxury vacation market of Fannin, Gilmer, and Union counties have definitely suffered from the housing downturn, but not everything has been negative.  The downtown areas have continued to thrive with new businesses opening their doors to consumers.  Downtown Blue Ridge has really exploded into a thriving business and cultural mecca.  Home prices have reflected the appeal of the community with the increasing cabin prices.  Neighboring cities of Ellijay and Blairvsille have kept pace, but Blue Ridge is running away currently.  The square footage, view, and sometimes location has to be sacrificed a bit in order to be located in "Fannin" County.  Amazingly, if you cross over the county line, you instantly change your market and what can be obtained for your price range.  This is all relative.  Although you can get more bang for your buck in the neighboring counties, your resale is affected tremendously.  The good thing is there is a market for anyone looking to be in the mountains.  I am a little partial to the Blue Ridge market as I have always called this home.  I like the consistency of the Blue Ridge, Ga market.  You know what to expect with your cabins.  All wood interiors, wood burning fireplaces, areas are consistent, and quality is pretty consistent.  The Blue Ridge market is made up of active adults and adventure seekers.  While the Ellijay and Blairsville markets have a lot in common with it's neighboring city of Blue Ridge, the home styles vary between traditional finishes of brick, vinyl, and some log/log siding homes.  The interiors typically have some sheetrock with wood accents and carpet or tile.  Whatever area you decide to purchase your next home, there is always a property to suit your needs if you have the patience(and a good real estate agent) to help find that perfect dream property.  For up to date market trends feel free to follow our blog for weekly up dates about the north Georgia mountain market.  You can also follow
