atlanta real estate: What's Taking Place in Your Market...YADA YADA? - 09/16/09 09:36 AM
It has been said that in the Atlanta real estate market, September and October are great times to take a good cruise or a vacation. I must say that I agree! The phones do not ring too much once the kiddies are back in school. This year in Atlanta seems no different.

atlanta real estate: How is Your Real Estate Market? The Atlanta Real Estate Market is So So! - 07/28/09 07:44 PM
The
Atlanta real
estate market has been soft for
while. Thank goodness listing inventory is finally moving off
its peaks, but it is still very high with over 71931
Active listings in all classes. Due to sellers being upside
down, there is a lot less real inventory than there appears.

There are many agents and brokers that have websites but very few of them actually understand the mechanics of the web. I suppose many think it is just magic, but it doesn't have to be. Like many other agents, they are most probably paying more for the web per month than the
