sales: Cobb County Ga. Housing Market absorption - 08/06/10 12:40 PM
Cobb County Ga. Housing Market absorption Many agents and home sellers will look at a figure of the average days on the market to get a feel for the housing market. This is somewhat misleading because it is a caclulation for the numbers of days on the market for the homes that actually sold. It does not take in to account the homes that were on the market and then withdrawn or expired. Of the houses that actually sold in the last 12 months, FMLS is showing an average days on market as 82 days. On the suface that seems pretty

sales: New homes down,tax fraud, so what was accomplished? - 06/24/10 09:06 AM
New home sales have their largest drop in decades and there are a ton of fraudulaent claims on the home buyer tax credit. So now that the tax credit is expired what was accomplished? The tax credit artificially inflated the buyer market and we have millions of dollars in fraudulent claims. The market is now deflating since the tax credit is gone and we are still paying the bill. The long term solution is not gov't give aways but instead to create a strong economic climate that will create confidence and investment. Can the government create a vibrant economy? I'm still

sales: Atlanta pending home sales - 08/12/09 11:04 AM
Atlanta pending home sales, are they up or down .....YES! There have been recent news reports that pending home sales are up. That is a good thing, right? Last week Jim Crawford put up a great post,Atlanta Pending Home Sales - The Truth Behind the Numbers!. Jim correctly pointed out that many of the current pending home sales are really not pending homes, they are just lease purchases. A week or two ago I got the email from FMLS stating that the status of "lease purchase was being eliminated and all lease purchases would now be reported as

sales: Country Walk Subdivision Price meter - 09/11/08 02:32 PM
I have collected the sales data for Country Walk Subdivision in Powder Springs Georgia for the 12 months period ending with July 31 for each of the last 3 years. Both the average sales price and the sales volume have decreased fairly significantly. While nobody likes to see declining home prices, these numbers are not really out of line with the surrounding market area. See the entire reports here Country Walk Price Meter See Country Walk Homes for sale at www.MyCountryWalkHome.info **************************************** Would you like market reports for another neighborhood?

sales: Cobb County Ga.-If you are serious about selling - 03/13/08 02:36 PM
If you are serious about selling your Cobb County Georgia home then you need to look seriously at your competition. As with any statistics, they can be interpreted many different ways. Of course all markets are local. There will be differences between East Cobb and West Cobb. Whether your home is in Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Vinings, Austell, or Mableton will make a difference in the pricing and marketing of your home. Here are the most recent sales figures available from Jan '08, according to realist data in FMLS. So for January there were 686 single family homes and condos sold.

sales: Powder Springs and West Cobb - Market Updates - 08/11/07 02:14 PM
This information is for FMLS map area 73 which covers Powder Springs and West Marietta in the area south of Ga Hwy 120 (Dallas Hwy) Here is some interesting data just released from FMLS and Smartnumbers.com. In June 2006, 215 homes sold for an average price of $215,534. In June 2007, 148 homes sold for an average price of $219,775.

For Sellers- this means that if you don't need to sell its probably not the best time to "test the

sales: So how's the market? - 07/30/07 09:39 PM
We get that question all time. I got asked again today and I have to say our market here in Powder Springs, Marietta, West Cobb county is pretty good. I know it's good compared to other areas of the country. Yes, our inventory has grown from last year. It's up about 20% to an 8 month supply of homes. So now is not the time to try to push the envelope on market price. But we have buyers, we have seller, and nice homes that are priced fairly, marketed effectively, and show well, will sell. All in all it's nothing like
