milton ga: Home prices falling? Not yet in North Atlanta, GA - 06/14/23 11:18 AM
Here we go again; another prediction that home prices will be falling. As real estate brokers we have heard this now for almost 3 years, and could there be some truth to it; possibly.  I just don't see it yet in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, GA.
