			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.a-intown.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/iStock_000003732055XSmall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-169" title="Country boy sitting on a fence" src="http://www.a-intown.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/iStock_000003732055XSmall-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>How do you feel about the housing market? Are you still sitting on the fence?  Real estate agents, builders, politicians, your hair dresser – all tell you that NOW is a good time to buy – first because home prices were falling and interest rates were dropping. Then “now” was the best time to buy because there was a tax “credit” that you could pay back on your income taxes over the next several years. After that, “now” was the best time to buy because you could take advantage of foreclosures and short sales. Then, there was a true tax credit for both first-time buyers and long-term homeowners, but that has expired. And that gets us to now&#8230;</p>
<p>And NOW&#8230; mortgage rates are at a 50-year low. And some experts predict that home prices could go even lower – or at least not go higher in the short term. On the <a title="Equifax Personal Finance Blog" href="http://www.equifax.com/blog/" target="_blank">Equifax Personal Finance blog</a>, Real Estate Expert Ilyce Glink argues that <a title="Now Is Time to Buy" href="http://real-estate.equifax.com/2010/05/no-more-home-buyer-tax-credits-is-now.html" target="_blank">NOW really is a good time to buy</a> because of those two factors. Your new home will cost less because prices are so low and because you won’t pay as much to finance it.</p>
<p>But if you really are planning to get off the fence NOW, you need to plan to stay in your home for awhile. Check out Ilyce’s post at Equifax to find out why before you buy your new home.</p>

The district is zoned for both residential and commercial use, making it the perfect location for residents to enjoy a live, work, play lifestyle.</p>
<p>Residents of the Atlanta loft condos can easily walk to any number of nearby eateries, antique shops, art galleries or coffee shops. And even though the lofts are in the city, a  newly converted biking and walking trail is close. The trail, once an old railroad, includes more than two acres of a linear park. The trail features brick pavers, an observation deck, benches and beautiful landscaping. Everyone, including bikers, dog walkers, and active runners can enjoy the beautiful and quite retreat the trail provides.</p>
<p>The live, work, play lifestyle enjoyed by residents at the Lofts at 5300 is made even easier with the Chamblee MARTA station right across the street. Additionally, the lofts are close to Lenox and Phipps Plaza so shoppers have nearby <span id="more-35"></span>access to some of Atlanta&#8217;s finest stores. Such a convenient location means residents have the freedom to leave their car at home while they spend an evening or day out on the town.</p>
<p>The Lofts at 5300 is a one-of-a-kind mixed use development in Chamblee, Georgia. The project has 242 lofts in a mid-rise building which offer a variety of floorplans. Plans range from studio to three-bedroom condominiums. Luxury features (<a href="http://www.loftsat5300.com/features/" target="_blank">http://www.loftsat5300.com/features/</a>) include 10 foot ceilings, granite counter tops, hardwood floors, and sleek stainless steel appliances. The lavishness of the Lofts at 5300 are enhanced by the unique amenities such as the rooftop deck with tennis courts, three lush interior courtyards with unique water features, and a modern fitness center. Developed by Carter Development Company, INC the lofts are reasonably priced from $108,900 to $214,900. The condominiums are conveniently located in Chamblee&#8217;s Mid City District, across the street from the Chamblee MARTA station and above many shops.</p>
<p>Visit <a href="http://www.loftsat5300.com/" target="_blank">http://www.loftsat5300.com</a> or call (770) 986-7070 for more information on the Lofts at 5300<img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Carol/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /></p>
