October is a busy month here in Jefferson Park.

This fall's big event is on Columbus Day weekend, October 10 & 11, which is the 7th Annual JP Tour of Homes when homes and gardens are showcased.

And in time for the neighborhood's big Tour of Homes, volunteers are needed to spruce up the entry ways to the neighborhood and around the place.

A work crew on Saturday, Oct. 3, will be cleaning up and planting flowers around the Jefferson Park's brick markers. The work will be easier with a few people who can lend a hand for a few hours next Saturday morning.  The work begins at 8 a.m.  

Contact jpnapresident@gmail.com if you're interested in bringing some tools and getting dirty. 

The following weekend is the  JP Tour of Homes. Volunteers are needed for ticket sales, home duties, and other tasks.

Don't be shy. Contact jpnavolunteer@gmail.com to lend a hand.

Here's what is needed on Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday, Oct. 11:

• people to work three-hour shifts, from 11am - 2 pm & 2 pm - 5:15 pm  
• Volunteer for one or both days at a shift that works best! If you can only work the entire shift, this is ok.   

For your troubles, you get a ticket to the after party to mix it up with all the JP Tour members, homeowners and other volunteers.

East Point real estate picture

With deep price cuts to close deals and slow house sales, it is a buyer's market here, according to Zillow.

New information from the online real estate company shows the number of homes selling in the city has hit a 5-year low.

The value of homes in the city has also tumbled. Nearly nine out of 10 homes sold are valued less then they were in 2008. Figures for the Jefferson Park neighborhood were not available.

And home prices are dropping about 15 percent every 30 days, according to Zillow's statistics.

The percentage of homes selling in East Point hovers around 6 percent, the lowest level since 2003. Sales of homes peaked in early 2007 when 9 percent were sold. In Metro Atlanta and Georgia, the figure is 3 and 4 percent, respectively.

The latest numbers shows close to 70 percent of homes sold in East Point are being bought for less than the previous owner paid. (That figure excludes foreclosures.) The same category for Georgia shows 27 percent.

Desperate for some good news? Try this, the bleeding may have stopped or at least slowed. Home values appear to have hit bottom. The figures form Zillow show values are inching up, ever so slightly.
