estate: SUWANEE GA - APPRAISAL'S in TODAY'S ATLANTA REAL ESTATE MARKET - 01/20/12 12:10 PM
Don't blame the real estate appraiser if the house you're trying to sell or buy isn't worth what you thought it was. Don't shoot the messenger said Appraisal Institute President Sara W. Stephens. Stephens went on to say buyers and sellers often have emotional value attached to a home or are unaware of the market. Stephens pointed out that appraisals completed for mortgage transactions are used to assist lenders in making lending decisions and are not intended to confirm a listing, contract or sales price. Theres no reason to assume the contract price is the correct price. Appraisers dont set … (0 comments)

estate: ATLANTA REAL ESTATE - The Lowest Mortgage Rates In Our Lifetimes! - 08/26/11 03:17 PM
Clark Howard recently stated that we are now seeing the lowest mortgage rates that we will ever see in our lifetime! And he is right. In August, mortgage rates dropped below the lows of November 2010. On Tuesday, August 23, The Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey reported that the 30-year fixed rate averaged 4.15% which was down from the previous week average of 4.32%. On August 9, the Fed also announced that the federal funds rate would remain near zero through at least the middle of 2013. That is the rate that banks use to borrow funds which … (0 comments)

estate: ATLANTA GA - December 2010 Real Estate Market vs December 2009 - 01/24/11 06:38 PM
I am trying a different approach for the month of December. The charts in this report I have created through Trendgraphix, Inc. This will enable you to not only see the Atlanta real estate market activity for December 2010 vs. December 2009 but it will also allow you to see the trending that has taken place throughout 2010. And the voices are many as we jump start 2011. And, they are not necessarily singing in unison - no big surprise! I have decided it is like looking into a crystal ball. There are so many facets which will play into fueling the recovery of the housing market so it makes sense predictions are … (6 comments)

estate: ATLANTA GA - NOVEMBER 2010 vs NOVEMBER 2009 MARKET REPORT - 01/10/11 03:39 PM
As the year closes out, one begins to wonder what 2011 will bring. Read three reports....get three different answers. I don't know what the new year will bring in real estate for the Atlanta market, but I think we held our own in 2010.
Short sales took a front seat to foreclosures; and, I think that will be the case for 2011. But if you are a home owner just wanting to sell your house....it can be done and 2010 proved that. The greatest line I heard this year....and, I use it a lot: "It is a beauty contest and a … (0 comments)

estate: ATLANTA GA - May 2010 vs. May 2009 MARKET REPORT - 07/05/10 12:58 PM
The results for the Atlanta real estate market were mixed for the month of May. The number of homes CLOSED were up; and the speculation, of course, is this is a result of the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit coming to an end. And with the end of the tax credit we see PENDING sales are down. According to Steve Palm with Smart Numbers "under contracts for all single family declined almost 22% in May 2010 vs. May 2009." (June 20, 2010).
The Atlanta real estate market continues to struggle. However there is, as you will see, a substantial dip in the number of foreclosure … (0 comments)

estate: ATLANTA GA - MARCH 2010 MARKET REPORT - 05/04/10 05:26 PM
The Atlanta real estate market continues to have twists and turns. With the end in sight for the housing tax credits, it was anticipated there would be a higher jump in activity as the clock clicks downward....not so much. Closings for all single family homes was up only 8% from one year ago.
According to Steve Palm with Smart Numbers:
There was a surge of homes going under contract for the month of March. So it seems reasonable to expect that closings, particularly for April will see an increase compared to April 2009. Inventory levels also seem to be hitting more … (0 comments)
