According to Zillow.com's local market intelligence, the number of metro Atlanta homes which sold for a loss hit an all time high early this year, but as the chart illustrates, the number has declined slightly since then. Although the number of these so-called "distressed" property sales has declined somewhat in 2009, the number is still well above %40 of all metro Atlanta home sales. If you are a homeowner who needs to sell your house now but owe more on your property than the current market value, don't trust your home sale to just any agent. Consult a trained and experienced specialist who can advise and guide you on how to get the best results with your lender.
