Foreclosure Activity Falls For The 4th Straight Month
Since peaking in July 2009, national foreclosure activity has dropped through 4 consecutive months.
On a month-to-month basis, November’s foreclosure activity fell another 8 percent.
However, national foreclosure activity continues to be dominated by a minority of states.
As reported by RealtyTrac.com, more than half of November’s foreclosure-related activity sourced from just 4 states:
1. California
2. Florida
3. Illinois
4. Michigan
These are the same 4 states that topped October’s foreclosure activity despite three of them posting month-to-month declines last month.
The remaining Top 10 states in terms of total foreclosure activity include Arizona, Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Nevada and New Jersey.
If you’ve been actively looking at REO lately, you’ve likely noticed that true bargains are harder to find. This is because buyers of all types — first-timers, move-ups, and investors — are purchasing bank-owned homes aggressively and getting better at identifying the “best ones”.

Beautiful Stone Entry Sign
The Sanctuary at Lake Nottely is an upscale gated community not far from town conveniently located to both golf, as well as you guessed it, Lake Nottely. The Sanctuary is located just under 8 miles from downtown Blairsville Georgia and not far from Murphy, NC. An absolutely beautiful North Georgia Mountain backdrop and gentle terrain makes this the picture perfect community for you and your family.
A comfortable walk through the bordering United States Forestry Service and you will be located at one of many public boat ramps on Lake Nottely. Here you and the family can launch the boat, or if you just want to take a dip in the lake to cool off, well you can do that as well.
There are currently 6 Vacant Lots available within the Sanctuary at Lake Nottely. Those prices range from $26,500 to $85,000. There are 4 Homes Available within our Northeast Georgia MLS at the time of this article. I do know of at least one other home that is not currently listed, however the present owners are willing to sell if the right Buyer comes along.
Thanks so much for taking just a minute to learn about this GREAT community right here in the North Georgia Mountains! If you have any questions or concerns about The Sanctuary at Lake Nottely or any other Blairsville area community, please do not hesitate to call me at 706.994.8686, or Contact Me. I would be grateful for the opportunity to assist you with all your North Georgia Mountain Real Estate needs.
Please be sure to check out Harbin Woods that is also gated with paved access, but leaning a little more on the “Rustic Style” of mountain living.
Make it a GREAT day!

Late last year I had the good fortune of meeting Dan Levin and his family from the Orlando Florida area. What a GREAT Family! I got to tell you, we had a blast in both looking for property and negotiating for it. To tell you the truth, I do not know which we had more fun doing.
Dan and his family purchased a Toccoa River Front Home along one of the most highly desired stretches of the River. Their River Home is located just outside of Blue Ridge, GA. in an area known as Fish Trap Trail. Named appropriately because of the 3 natural Indian Fish Traps along the Toccoa River . If you are not familiar with exactly what a Fish Trap is, it is where the Indians would stack the rocks along the river bed to form an arrowhead like shape to trap the fish so that they could spear them or catch the fish in a basket. These Fish Traps are still somewhat used today, except you use a Fly Rod instead of a Spear!
The Toccoa River Cabin is the perfect place for you or your family to come and stay while visiting the North Georgia Mountains. Even if you are not an avid Fly-Fisherman, it is a very warm and inviting Mountain Home. The Levin’s have really done a great job with the decor’ and preparing this River Front Home to accommodate various lifestyles and guests. You will enjoy River Front and Mountain Views and Relaxation! Take a Tour of the Toccoa River Cabin and see for yourself, it is a GREAT place to stay.
So, if you are a Fisherman and looking for a place to stay in Blue Ridge Georgia, you can’t ask for much better than this. Nearby is the infamous Curtis Switch Bridge. Anybody that Fishes knows where Curtis Switch is located. There are so many other Things To Do in and around Blue Ridge, and I am sure there is something for everyone.
Please be sure to check out what Dan, Linda, Alexander and Zachary had to say about me!
If you end up making a GREAT choice and plan your stay at The Toccoa River Cabin, please come back to The Porch and let everyone else know just how wonderful your stay was in the North Georgia Mountains!
Make it an AWESOME day!
