ATLANTA MARKET REPORT - February, 2010 - 03/26/10 01:37 PM
The sun shined down on the metro Atlanta real estate market for February, 2010 with a positive year-to-year increase according to Steve Palm of Smart Numbers.

ATLANTA GA - FUTURE MARKET TRENDS - 03/26/10 10:06 AM
It's 2010 and Atlanta is still considered a declining market. As a result, many potential home buyers have sat on the side lines concerned with what their property investment will be worth over time should they go ahead and take the plunge and buy now.
