Luxe finally gets FHA approval! What does this mean for you? How about only 3.5% down! That is a huge chunk of change left in your pocket given the current lending standards.

What’s available for purchase in the building? Check out the MLS listings below.

My Piedmont Park facing listing at Luxe in Midtown is the best available condo in the building. It’s loaded with tons of upgrades and is priced below market value at $569,900. Other units in the stack have closed higher. On the 19th floor, you clear the surrounding buildings for stunning views of Buckhead and Piedmont Park. Read the rest of this entry

Viewpoint has been fairly successful with sales so far. The onsite agent told me they are about 70% closed, which is fantastic in this market. I will definitely confirm that and follow up with a comment this week, so check back. Read the rest of this entry
