*Georgia Property Tax Changes for 2011
Congratulations if you purchased a home in 2010. You may have gotten a decrease in your Georgia property taxes. The Georgia legislature in 2010 passed a tax reform bill requiring every Georgia county to review 2010 property sales. If you purchased a home for less money 
than the stated assessed value, your tax bill will based on the 2010 sale price. If you purchased a home for more money than the stated assessed value, your tax bill will be based on the assessed value.

Weekly Buyer Deals and Steals
In this weekly feature we review corporate-owned, lender-owned and foreclosure properties that have come on market in the last seven days in Woodstock, North Fulton and East Cobb County- here are the results:
Our favorite “pick” this week is a foreclosure in Woodstock at the Glens at Kingsgate. This home is a 4 bedroom, 2 full bath and 1 half bath home and was built in 2000. Homes in the neighborhood would normally sell at around $200,000- this home is now for sale at $139,000.
Remember, as always, that these “deals” aren’t always what they seem- sometimes banks and corporations list their homes at or near market value regardless of their condition, so you always want to make sure you know what other homes have sold for in the neighborhood/area and how the neighborhood/area is trending in value.
