metro atlanta: When buyers won't make a move, what do you do? - 02/19/07 09:55 AM
I came across an article in Innan News by Matt Carter (might only be viewable by subscribers) from last October which really hit home, especially in the Metro Atlanta market where we have a very large standing inventory of homes for sale (10+ months). The gist of the article is based around the growing nationwide rise of housing inventory and the fact that the Feds have left interest rates alone for quite some time.

The Board of Commissioners decided in it first meeting of 2007 to approve a 90-day moratorium on residential rezoning for applications submitted after June 5, 2007. There is an option to extend the moratorium by 90 days in place.
Commissioner Dave Richard, who is considered to be one of the commissioners who is concerned about rampant development, said "the county must slow down rezonings to study county infrastructure and assure the county could support any further development that is approved."
