Evans GA Home featured on TODAY Show

This morning I was watching the TODAY show and real estate expert Barbara Corcoran talked about homes you can get for $300K and under. My attention was caught by an Evans home located in the subdivision of Stratford that was featured during this segment.

See Homes for Sale in Stratford (Check out 4459 Andover Drive)

This got me thinking about our local Augusta real estate market and just how much house you can buy here in our area. We have great schools and great neighborhoods in both Richmond County and Columbia County. We have great weather year round even though it gets a little hot and humid in the summer months. Augusta has lots of activities from world renown golf at Augusta National to rowing on the Savannah River. This is truly a Metro Area that has something for everyone.

Since I am a local Augusta Realtor®, I would like to feature some homes in Evans that are under $300K. Here they are:



If you are interested in any of these Evans Homes including the one featured on the TODAY show, please contact me at 706-294-6795. I will be more that happy to show you any one of these homes.

See the TODAY episode of “Appealing homes for under $300,000″ which aired on March 2, 2012.

Lady Antebellum to Perform at New Evans Town Center Park

Josh Kelley Stage at the Lady Antebellum Pavilion in Evans GA

Lady Antebellum Pavilion

Mark your calendar for Augusta’s own Dave Haywood & Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum to performance at the opening of the new amphitheater in the new “Evans Town Center Park” on October 28, 2011.   Tickets are available for purchase at the Columbia County Library on Evans Town Center Blvd and will be available beginning Saturday morning at 8:00 on October 1, 2011.

Columbia County is honoring Charles Kelley, Josh Kelley and Dave Haywood by naming the pavilion after the group Lady Antebellum which was founded in part by Charles Kelley & Dave Haywood.  They are also honoring Charles’ brother, Josh Kelley who is a singer-songwriter, by naming the stage after him.

Please expect long lines and wait since both Haywood & Kelley graduated from Lakeside High School, a  local Columbia County school, which makes the group very popular here in Augusta.  Tickets are limited to only 3,100 for the event, which is expected to sell out very quickly.  Tickets are $40 each and are limited to only 4 per person.  Only cash will be accepted!

For additional information please call 706-312-7192

Grovetown Real Estate Market Update for May 2011

May is graduation time here in Grovetown and this year Grovetown High School graduated the 2nd class from this new high school.  This also marks the start to summer, which is the beginning of “moving” season.

Please note I am now using the “median” price versus “average” price on the statistics because something looked very off on the reports.  This is probably best to do since the median doesn’t use the highest or lowest price. I will continue to use the average days on market, because I think the time it takes to sell a house is very important.  We all need to know if it took 2 years or even 1 day to sell a property.

Here is how the Grovetown Residential Housing Market performed in the month of May:

Grovetown Totals:

  • 91 Homes Sold
  • $160,000 Median Sales Price
  • $74.80 Median Price Per Square Foot
  • 156 Days on Market Average

Grovetown 2CO in Columbia County:

  • 41 Homes Sold
  • $160,445 Median Sales Price
  • $77.62 Median Price Per Square Foot
  • 161 Days on Market Average

Grovetown 4CO in Columbia County:

  • 50 Homes Sold
  • $155,425 Median Sales Price
  • $73.90 Median Price Per Square Foot
  • 154 Days on Market Average

Canterbury Farms over took High Meadows this month for the lead on number of homes sold in a subdivision.  Canterbury Farms in the 4CO area had 12 Homes that sold.  This subdivision has recently expanded with two new sections and looks to continue to grow in the future.  JR Homes, Ivey Residential and Winchester Home Builders are currently building in Canterbury Farms.  High Meadows in the 2CO area finished up May with 9 Sold Homes.  This neighborhood has limited lots left to build with a few basement lots remaining.  If you are interested in any of these homes or if you are needing an in depth market analysis of your neighborhood, please contact me.
