Gwinnett County has just launched a special program offering $5,000 down payment incentives and special interest loans as low at 3.49% for new home buyers! See, I told you it was great news.
Gwinnett governments, banks, mortgage companies, the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, the Impact Group, and the Gwinnett Housing Authority collaborated on a package that essentially “continues” a similar version of the federal homebuyer tax incentives that expired April 30 for homes purchased in Gwinnett County.
More details will follow, but the approximately $5,000 down payment incentive is for new constructed homes within a certain price range. And do you know what homes fall into that price range? That’s right! Our new community at Alcovy Falls! You can learn more by visiting the Let’s Do Business Gwinnett website or call Jim Griffin at 404-379-9335 to own in Gwinnett County’s lowest priced new single family homes community.
By the way, did you know that Alcovy Falls is a swim/tennis community? This news just gets better and better!
Dear Abby Smith Douglas,
My parents told me that buying a house is a better investment than continuing to pay rent every month. Is that true or are they just trying to get me out of their basement? Holly Househunter In Hiram
Dear Holly Househunter,
Your parents are right, although if you are eating all the chocolate chip cookies then it may be possible that they are also anxious to get you out of the basement and into a place of your own. Regardless of their motive, buying a home is a great investment!
While your rent money doesn’t really give you any sort of return, paying a mortgage means that you can build equity in a home. Homeowners also get tax perks that renters don’t. Plus, it’s nice to come home to something that’s yours. When I lived in an apartment we couldn’t paint the walls, but in my house? Hello lime green living room! Actually, my husband vetoed the lime green so our living room is a lovely shade of beige, but you know what I mean. You should stop by and check out some of our available new homes, many of them have payments that are actually less than the cost of renting an apartment, not to mention they are super cute. You can stop by our sales office to take a tour or call 770-315-1261 to set up an appointment!

It’s time for another virtual tour! I’ve found that I rather like playing tour guide. I once thought that I’d like to be a tour guide at Disney World but it turns out, that’s not a real job. So then I applied to be Tinkerbell and I almost had the gig when I discovered that the actress who plays Tinkerbell? They hook her up to a zipline and launch her off the top of Cinderella’s castle every night. And that’s how I ended up here, giving you lovely home tours from the safety of my office chair.
We just finished construction on a spacious new 4 bedroom house. If you have children, it has plenty of room for them to run around and pretend that they are Tinkerbell. And for you there’s a private sitting room in the owner’s suite so that you can curl up with a book after making the perfect fairy costume (a helpful hint: don’t put glitter on the wings and you’ll avoid much vacuuming later.)
I am partial to the color scheme of this home. I also really like the way the entry is laid out, with hardwood floors leading in to the living area and a guest bath tucked off to the right. The kitchen (with it’s beautiful crown moulding accents on the cabinets) is open to the living and dining area (so that you can keep an eye on Tinkerbell while cooking dinner.)
Upstairs is a spacious loft-like area that could double as an office, there’s enough room for a desk and bookshelves. Or you could put a couch there and make a cute reading nook. It also has an upstairs laundry so no more carting heavy baskets up and down the stairs. The secondary bedrooms all feature our signature vaulted ceilings and share a spacious bath. The owner’s suite and sitting room have tray ceilings and a great private bath. The walk in closet is pretty fantastic in and of itself, I might buy the house just fo that. I love a spacious closet, I’m a girl who owns a LOT of shoes.
I give this floorplan 5 sparks of fairydust stars. Call us at 770-315-1261 or visit us to see it in person!
A popular floorplan, our Cochran home is a spacious four bedroom with two and half baths. Let’s take a little tour, shall we?
(Pretend I’m your tour guide! And while we’re pretending, also pretend I look like Heidi Klum.) We enter through a beautiful hardwood foyer and make our way past the dining room with it’s gorgeous archways into the spacious family room. That opens up to the kitchen (that kitchen is huge!) complete with built-in desk! This house has several kitchen options including the desk you see here or a butler pantry or an island! The possibilities are endless! (Okay, well they aren’t endless exactly, but you do have a lot of them.) Tucked away off the kitchen is the two car garage. I love having a garage near the kitchen. It’s so much easier to cart in the groceries that way! The half bath is on the first floor as well, so your guests don’t have to go upstairs in order to make use of the loo (I’m trying to bring back the word loo. Is it working?)
If we go upstairs (ooh, how lovely is that iron railing?) we’ll turn the corner into a private owner’s suite complete with tray ceilings, a walk-in closet and it’s own bath. On the opposite side of the landing we’ll find an enormous second bedroom with a walk-in closet. This room could even be used as a game room as it would definitely fit a pool table. Or my personal favorite, a ping pong table. You’ll also find a second full bath, two additional bedrooms with our signature vaulted ceilings and an upstairs laundry room! No lugging huge baskets of laundry down the stairs = bonus points in my book!
It’s a pretty great house, right? It’s pretty popular so come by and take a look at it in person before someone snaps it up! Call us at 770-315-1261 to make an appointment or visit us during
So you want to buy your first home but you’re not quite sure where to
start? No worries, we are here to help you out! We’ve put together a
little Q&A with some questions that first time home buyers frequently
have about how the process works.
Q) How do I know what I can afford? A)We hear this question a lot! Home ownership is a big purchase but
it’s not out of your reach! Our loan expert will have a short
chat with you about your situation. From there, she’ll be able to tell
you the type and amount of mortgage you can apply for and also work with you on any credit issues and possible down payment help. She’ll also
work closely with you to ensure that your monthly payments are
something that you are comfortable with! At Smith Douglas, we offer
beautiful high quality homes in a variety of price ranges so that you
can find the perfect home for your budget!
Q) How do I decide what type of home is right for me? A) This is where our sales counselor steps in to help! She’ll talk
with you about all of the things that factor into this decision. Maybe
you prefer a one-story home or maybe you would like to dedicate a room
to be used as an office. She’ll learn about your needs and show you
homes that would be a good fit for you! We offer a variety of
floorplans and home sizes so that you can find one to best fit your
lifestyle!
Q) How do I know I’m buying a good home? A) Well, when you buy a re-sale home such as a short sale or a
foreclosure there is no guarantee. These homes are sold “as-is”
meaning they may have significant problems, such as plumbing issues or
broken heating units that you are stuck with. When you buy a new home
from Smith Douglas, however, we’ll put your mind at ease! Our homes
pass rigorous building inspections before we put them on the market
and we include warranties so that you can have full peace of mind when
purchasing your first home!
We know the process can seem a little overwhelming at times and that’s
why we are here to help! We want you to have a great experience when
purchasing your first home and we work closely with you to make sure
that the entire process goes smoothly! Give us a call at 770-315-1261
to set up a time to visit our communities and learn how we can help you become a first time home buyer!
