Athens GA Real Estate Stats - 11/15/09 07:30 AM
According to the Athens MLS, our sales are down 21% - 517 less homes sold this year than last year for the same period (through November 15).  The prices are down almost 32% which confirms what we've been seeing... more demand for the lower priced homes.  And, the good news for buyers is that there are plenty of sellers that need to sell their homes.  We have all time low interest rates, the $8,000 first time buyer credit and a great inventory of homes... it's the perfect time to buy your first home.
