Atlantans, Free Your Windshield Wipers Before Turning On!

Frozen Windsield Wipers

 

Atlantans! Take it from a New Yorker. Free up your frozen windshield wipers BEFORE you turn them on! Turning on your wipers the morning after a snowstorm can burn out the wiper motor, instantly. Lift them up and clear them of any frozen snow before turning them on. It’s a costly mistake, and now, practice I learned from living a previous life in New York.

The snowstorm that came through Atlanta and the southeast on Tuesday January 28, 2014 was still wreaking havoc with motorists at 2:30 in the morning, almost 14 hours after most people left their offices, early, for the day.

Marietta Georgia 30068 Home Sales Statistics Strong

30068

30068

A client of mine who was considering selling his home recently asked me to provide some sales and pricing statistics for zip code 30068, located in Marietta Georgia. The family was glad to see that Marietta Georgia real estate trends were improving and thought it was a great time to list their home for sale.  In 2011, there were 377 sales with an average list price of $398,854 and an average sales price of $377,300, a sales price to list price ratio of 95%, a sales price to original list price ratio (taking into account price reductions) of 91% and an average days on market of 130. We would consider this a pretty slow moving market.
