Welcome To Forsyth County
Forsyth County one of the richest in the nation
Friday, 25 January 2008
A recent study based on 2006 census information has placed Forsyth County at number 13 in the nation in median annual income. The Forbes list shows Forsyth County having a median income of $83, 682. No other Georgia county made the list. Forsyth County Commission chairman Charles Laughinghouse was surprised by the notariety. “I know we are considered the most affluent in Georgia, but I would not have put us 13th in the nation.”

Current Economic Market Creates The Best Features, Finishes and Value For Housing In Forsyth County, GA
October 16th, 2008 Categories: Cumming, Forsyth County, New Construction
This past weekend, I found myself visiting
new home communities throughout South Forsyth County
to see the current inventory and the latest features and upgrades as builders try to reduce their new home inventory.
As I toured these homes, I was struck by the incredible finishes and upgrades that made these
$500,000 properties look and feel like a million dollars.
Communities included Vickery Springs In Cumming Georgia. This neighborhood of Newer Homes are still available for sale. Builders include Osley Builder and Carriage Homes Inc. Below is an example of a Carriage Homes Quality Home. Full of details galore from heavily detailed tray ceilings to built in bookcases.

Features like heavy crown mouldings on both the main and 2nd level, Master bedrooms with sitting area’s and fireplaces, kitchen’s and keeping rooms that exuded warmth and elegance. Granite counters and intricate full tile backsplash. Stack stone columns surrounding the gas oven. Full bathrooms for every bedroom. Finished basements with home theatres. Outdoor Fireplace. The list goes on and on.
What I found interesting is that each community had wonderful unique qualities, was beautifully maintained and all offered tremendous value for the dollar. While I have always found the Northern Atlanta area to be affordable in regard to housing, the finishes and features now make these houses “fully loaded”, akin to upgrading the Toyota to a Lexus.
If you have the financial means and have entertained the thought of shopping or looking at new home communities, you will be excited to see what’s in store for you.
Don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself.

Atlanta Area Housing Market “Vibrant”
May 6th, 2008 Categories: Alpharetta, Ball Ground, Buford, Canton, Cherokee County, Forsyth County, Fulton County, Gwinnett County, Holly Springs, Johns Creek, Milton, Real Estate Forum, Roswell, Sandy Springs
Former federal Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros says metro Atlanta’s housing
market is being spared the worst of the national slump due to the region’s
comparatively vibrant economy.
“Metro Atlanta arguably has the most dynamic economic market in the country,” Cisneros said last week while in the Atlanta area.
Cisneros predicted metro Atlanta’s home prices and its overall housing industry will rebound sooner than other regions in the country. The local market continues to be reinforced by the influx of talented people seeking opportunities, he said. Factors contributing to local economic strength include hospitals and health care facilities, universities and the many fortune 500 companies Visit Site For List Of Companys who make Atlanta their home address.
Henry Cisneros was secretary of the Housing and Urban Development department from 1993 to 1996. For more info on Henry Cisneros visit About Henry Cisneros.
