A Window of Opportunity for Home Buyers in the Augusta Area

With home prices in the Augusta area continuing to climb, it is becoming clear to more people that now is the time to make the leap. Although many potential buyers adopted a standoffish approach in recent years, that reticence has already cost many of them tens of thousands of dollars, some experts on the local real estate market have claimed. With Augusta remaining one of the most desirable cities in all of Georgia to live in and near to, many believe that it only makes sense to make the move before valuations are driven even higher.

Fortunately, there are some excellent options for a whole range of buyers when it comes to Augusta GA Real Estate today. Local agency Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beazley REALTORS of Augusta GA, for example, lists properties across a range of nearly 15 different neighborhoods and developments in the region, with some catering to everyone from high middle-class buyers on up.

At Willow Oak Village in Grovetown just outside of Augusta, for example, one of the region's most successful developers has put up a number of homes that are designed to accommodate young, professional families. With spacious, safe yards that are perfect for children and pets to play in, the homes offer plenty of living room for those who maintain active households. In terms of pricing, they are just as attractive, neatly filling a gap in terms of affordable housing for young families that has existed in the area for many years.

On the other side of Augusta, just over the border with South Carolina in Graniteville, older and more settled people find a number of excellent options. With equally easy access to Augusta itself, two major developments in Graniteville target later-life professionals looking for a quieter style of living.

The Summit at Horse Creek displays the talents of one of South Carolina's most renowned designers and aiken county real estate developers, offering up the kinds of ranch-style homes that have been popular in the area for many years. At nearby Gregg's Mill, those looking for even larger homes will find plenty on display, with prices once again being even more compelling than is usual for the Augusta area.

While the real estate scene around August is undeniably getting hotter, there are still plenty of excellent bargains to be found in the area. Part of this has to do with the recent opening of a number of new developments like the ones described above, an event that will not be repeated in the near future. That means that many buyers should think about striking now, before the existing stock is depleted further.
