Mud 4 Blood videos

Saturday, May 10th was the GBR 4WD Club’s annual Mud 4 Blood event in conjunction with LifeSouth and other Atlanta area 4WD clubs.

We had a great event this year, and here are a couple of video clips from the event.

This first clip is the Georgia Rock Rods setting up one of their several parking set-ups. Through-out the day, they re-arranged their rigs in different stacking combinations. The crowd seemed to enjoy the setting up as much as the vehicles once they were in formation.

One of the fans of the stacked Jeeps was my son Garrett. He thought it was terribly cool. He was asking why we didn’t have our minivan parked on top of the dually and project Commando at home…

There will be a video compilation of the sights of Mud 4 Blood coming soon… And save a day in early May for next year’s event.

According to the Kauffman Index… yes.

Georgia ranks 9th among the states in entrepreneurial activity, and Atlanta is 3rd among the 15 largest cities.  Here is the blurb from REALTOR® Magazine Online’s Daily Update.

 Entrepreneurial business is growing in many parts of the country with 495,000 new businesses per month started in 2007, according to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity.

Do you do del.icio.us?

if you aren’t already familiar, del.icio.us is a “Social Bookmarking” site.  I ran across it last year, bookmarked it (how appropriate…) and then just kind of left it alone.  At the same time I downloaded a plug-in for FireFox… and left it alone.  I thought it was cool, but got sidetracked with running a business and building my website and logo.

Want coverage for your car show?

I am a car guy, and I need a business excuse to go to more car shows…  I can tell my wife that I am “networking”…  Seriously.

So, to that end, I want to have a new feature on GarageHomesUSA.  It will take a little while to spin up to full speed, but here is the plan:

  • Visit cruise-ins, car shows and other enthusiast events
  • Take pictures
  • Shoot video
  • Upload pictures and video in a searchable database
  • As part of the videos, profile both the cars and the owners

My clients that move into Atlanta from other areas are car people.  Many are looking for car clubs in the area.  Many are also looking for cruise-ins, car shows and other events.

I’m also finding out something else… it is tough to find most of the events in the area.  There are a few clubs that have calendars of their events.  But, there are no central databases that seem to have up to date information.

Last year I set up a calendar on my old site.  Even though I only supported it with one blog post, Google picked it up for several events… #1 placement.  I’d like to get together a list of car shows, cruise-ins, autocrosses and other local events… all compiled in one place, and in front of other local enthusiasts.

I have also previously asked for local car club banners to put on GarageHomesUSA… and only had one response.  It seems that some are worried that I want email lists or other info about members.  I don’t.  I just want to be a great resource  for others iin the area that want to hang out with car people.

4+ Car Garage Homes in Gwinnett, GA… What’s available?

I try to sneak into the local MLS every few eeks and take a look at the overall picture of 4+car garage properties available in Gwinnett County, GA. There are generally a good selection, in fact there is generally a better selection than most of the other counties in Metro Atlanta. Please keep in mind that the MLS rules disallow me from specifically promoting listings belonging to other agents without their written permission, so I have to remain a bit vague. If you would like more info, I can send out the sheets on these and other properties that might interest you… just let me know.

So, what is out there?

There is a pretty good variety of 4+ car garage home properties available in Gwinnett. Let me start with a couple of overall stats.

  • As of today, there are 148 properties on the market listing a 4 car or larger garage (or combination).
  • The median price (half higher, half lower) is $749k.
  • The high price is $8.5m.
  • The low price is $129,900.
  • The majority of the properties have a 4 car garage, only a few are larger.
  • Most common is a 2 car attached and a 2 car detached.

Let’s talk about some homes.

If you are looking for a 4 car garage on a budget, the first property might fit the bill. It is in Snellville, and has a 2 car attached garage and a detached shop that is 30×30 (metal building with a concrete floor). The home is 3 bedroom and 2 baths and is described as totally renovated.

At the other end of the spectrum is an $8.5m home in Suwanee. It has a 6 car garage and is in a private community. Of course there is a pool and pool house, media room/home theater and just about every amenity you could imagine… and only the best finishes. It was originally priced at $10.5m, and has 6 bedrooms, 6 full and 4 half baths.

Of course, most people are somewhere in the middle. And, in the middle we find a home priced at $749k. Here we find a house that is about 2 miles from the Mall of Georgia, and has a 5 car garage, 7 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, full finished basement and 5 acres. It has a barn. This house also has two full kitchens and laundry rooms.

Halfway between the median and the top is a home with a 4 car garage in the Sugarloaf Country Club priced at $1,798,000. This house is a 5/5/2 (bedrooms/full baths/half baths) with a full basement. The neighborhood has a pool, tennis and a great golf course.

Halfway between the median and the entry level is a brand new home in Lawrenceville. It is priced at $449,900, and has 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths. The 4th garage is actually a boat door in the basement, but I have found that those can be great places to assemble or display a highlight from the collection. In fact, I know of a few people that have built the “boat bay” into an incredible featuring the car as art. this builder also features a trade-in program so that a potential buyer may be able to skip having to sell their home first.

Wrap up…

Usually when I start talking about 4+ car garages people assume that the homes will be out of this world expensive. But, there might very well be one that fits your price range. Here is a little breakdown:

  • 10 homes under $200k
  • 5 homes from $200k – $300k
  • 15 homes from $300k – $400k
  • 15 homes from $400k – $500k
  • 9 homes from $500k – $600k
  • 16 homes from $600k – $700k
  • 6 homes from $700k – $800k
  • 6 homes from $800k – $900k
  • 3 homes from $900k – $1m
  • 15 homes from $1m – $1.5m
  • 17homes from $1.5m – $2m
  • 16 homes from $2m – $3m
  • 7 homes from $3m – $4m
  • 7 homes above $4m

So, while there is a good representation at the higher end of the spectrum, there is a pretty good distribution of homes across the full spectrum.
