metro Atlanta Real Estate & Quick Economy Update

Monday, August 31st, 2009
 

Hey gang!  Real quick, 

The Case-Shiller Home Price Index rose to a seasonally adjusted 1.4% in June making this the 2nd month in a row to see an increase AND it was broad based as prices rose in 18 of the 20 cities used in the survey.  Good news for housing.  New home sales for July were reported higher and better than expectations.  Adding to the positive tone of the report was a drop in home inventory, which now stands at a 7.5 month supply, down from last month’s 8.8 month reading.  More good news for housing. 

Despite the good housing news, rates remain unchanged this week.  But home buying is still brisk for 1st time buyers as the deadline for the tax credit approaches.

This week rates bounced around the 5% mark depending on credit and points.

Buyers – the time is now.  Sellers – same to you!  The Buyers are out & in droves so if you can reach your goal to be the best looking home & priced competitvely, statistics show your metro Atlanta home will sell in proximately 25 days for 96% of list price!

If there’s anything we can do to help you, your friends, family or co-workers, we’re only a call away.

Your next move is our business :-)

1% off on your list price could be the difference between a quick sale (25 days on the market) and hybernating on the market for over 200 days!  1st quarter was 29 days on mkt for well the well priced homes – so the pace is picking up!

Statistics show that if you’re priced correctly the 1st time, you’ll sell in 25 days for 96.9% of list price – crazy, right?  I bet your neighbor didn’t tell you that the last time you talked Real Estate, and I know the news didn’t leak it…

However, if you miss on your pricing, even by a little, you could end up selling for 75% of original list price and torture yourself for months & months & months cleaning & praying, wondering what the problem is & why your home won’t sell. (more…)
