Update on the Atlanta Market

Well, like most places, the Atlanta real estate market doesn't seem to be seeing the usual spring increase in pendings and you know what that means - more listings will come online and that will continue to make the market unbalanced with higher than usual supply and lower demand to make it worse. I was certainly hoping that we would see an increase in pending sales by now as an indicator of future trends, but, it just isn't happening. Here is a chart I made showing what actual values have been doing over the last year in Atlanta:

Ugly would be the way it looks to me. Lower prices will eventually make buyers feel there is value in homes once again, but, let me tell you how many buyers I have talked to in the last 3-4 months that simply look at homes here in Atlanta and say to me how overinflated prices are.

At the end of the day, THEY dictate whether values are in fact overinflated. No one else. Until they feel better, we will probably continue on this trend.

 

 

New Sandy Springs Listing Offers Great Value

If you are looking for a home in sandy springs, we have a new listing that is an absolute must see. It's located inside I-285 right where Mount Vernon Parkway meets Crest Valley Drive about 3 minutes from Chastain Park. What is so spectacular about this home is the completely level, 1.4 acre lot (the best I have seen for under $1,000,000) and secluded pool in a premium location for $650,000.

If you are looking to be inside I-285 in Sandy Springs, you owe it to yourself to have a look at this home. you can view the single property website for this listing on the Sandy Springs open houses website and you can view all homes for sale in Sandy Springs here.

Single Property Websites and Internet Marketing

We've just added a new marketing tool for our listings in the form of single property websites to compliment our marketing techniques. The first two that we have created are for townhomes for sale in Atlantic Station and homes for sale in Haynes Landing. Unlike many other single property websites, these will be quite different than most in that they are built on the WordPress blog platform with a completely custom design and don't have that boring generic look most of us are familiar with when it comes to single property websites. Here's a screen capture of the homepage, which doubles as the slideshow jsut in case you aren't interested in clicking on thelink:

Besides just looking a bit better than your standard, website, it definitely comes with the important features; email a friend, contact, slideshow, virtual tour and photo gallery. We're going to add "priont flyer tomorrow and it will be pretty well set. Also, we look for these individual websites to actually perform in the search engines as well as on the sign riders and print material.

Do you use single property webnsites? What has been your experience? Anyone have any sales that they can attribute to them?

Atlantic Station Townhomes

Must of us, including agents, brokers and consumers think of condos when we think of Atlantic Station, however along 16th street there are a number of townhomes that may in fact offer some buyers a more convenient solution to Intown living than condos. While condos are nice and quite convenient for gthe Intown market, townhomes can offer a more 'homey' feel. They are also a more practical solution if you are a dog lover. Who wants to cart your favorite four legged friend through a lobby and up and down an elevator everytime nature calls? For dog lovers that want to be intown, Atlantic Statrion offers a number of possible solutions.

Take this townhome for sale under the street lamp right on 16th. It's right across the street from the dog park and almost directly across from the retail spaces of Atlantic Station. This well appointed townhome has 2 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 bathrooms, a great porch and woderful craftsman charm that you just can't get in a condo. If Atlantic Station seems like a place you are interested in living, but, don't want to be pushed upstairs in a condo you should have a lok and see if there are any Atlantic Station townhomes that might be of interest to you.

Like the one above.

Atlanta Real Estate Market in For a Tough Year

At least that's the way it looks based on the numbers thus far. Easpecially in the condo and townhome market. There is an estimated 4 year supply of new construction homes in this category so if you can't find a good deal on one as a buyer, be prepared to own it for a few years before you try to sell it.

Atlanta real estate news is not all quite as bad as this, but, I just don't see inventories coming down far enough to not see some additional declines in pricing before we are finished. It would be nice to hear nothing but "the wind is at our back" or "it's all downhill from here", but, that is just not the case. It looks like we are in for a little bit more of a ride down this road with excessive inventory before things begin to level off.

However, there are some important points to note about the market. Some basic and fundamental truths about real estate which hold true in all markets. Good homes will sell and homes that are not as good MUST be price appropriately to have a chance to sell in this market. Currently I have 2 homes under contract and both of them had multiple offers. One had an offer on another house which also had multiple offers. We are also working on another offer to sell which will lead to another purchase so it isn't like people aren't buying anything. They just are only buying good houses or houses that are priced aggresively based on their condition. If you plan on listing your home this spring, be prepared as it probably won't sell for the same amount as it would have last year.

Greatest Real Estate Agent SEO Contest Follow Up

The contest to rank for the term greatest real estate agent in the world has taken on a life of its own with contestants that range from real estate agents to those that are SEO consultants by trade. Currently, I am in 5th place in the contest which I suppose isn't too bad for 14 month old blog to rank that high. I haven't done anything at all in the last 10 days or so to get my blog post ranked any higher, but, I see that lots of contestants are writing articles and creating 'teams' where lots of people point links back to one entry. for now, I'm content to watch the contest ride and to write an entry from time to time here at AR and a few other places. Suddenly I don't seem to have much time to blog as we have seen an increase in internet leads and that has taken up my time. That's a good thing and a good reason not to be actively competing in the contest and seeking out new links to get the one blog post ranked higher...
