Buckhead Luxury Home Rental Market Report – March 2012

Every year as the Bradford Pears, Azaleas and other blooms spring to life, so too does the Atlanta Real Estate Sales and Rental Market.  This year, 2012, is no exception and might prove to be even more of a shift than in years past.  For sales, Atlanta as a whole and Buckhead, specifically has reached the lowest inventory level in a DECADE!  Yes a decade.  Sales demand is stronger.

What does that mean for the Buckhead Luxury Single Family Home Rental Market?  Well, we are again at our lowest inventory levels with homes rapidly getting rented or leased with qualified tenants.  Folks are surprised at how strong the luxury rental market is.  We aren’t.  The Buckhead Luxury Home Rental Market has only had momentary weaknesses in 10 years where there was more inventory than prospective tenants.   This occurred in 2007/8 as the market was struggling with a huge oversupply of homes.

Buckhead Luxury Rental Home Market Report - Spring 2012 by Michelle Francis, Buckhead Rental and Property Management specialistIn a typical year for Buckhead, there are not enough luxury rental homes for the demand.  Tim Francis Realty has been offering Luxury Rental Homes and Property Management for a decade.   Our company AVERAGE luxury home rental rate in Buckhead is $4,000 a month.  We were just analyzing the latest market inventory for 4 bedroom homes in Buckhead.  Today, there are 16 homes available from $2,000 to $7,000.  (There are a few higher than $7,000, but that’s a pretty unique market.)  There are 4 pending homes in this price point AND in the last 6 months, there have been 46 homes leased.  This means there is about a 3 month’s supply of homes. 

In Tim Francis Realty’s experience, it will be a crazy spring.  As we say many times a day to folks that call, “if you see something you like that fits your budget in the Buckhead Luxury Rental Home Market, TAKE IT IMMEDIATELY”.

Michelle -- luxury leases are always seem to be in demand and when a "hot new listing" hits the market -- it is typically very well received.   Although this is true for sales too, it seems that those at upper end of leasing really really want only the best while a home buyer may be willing to do some renovations.

I have many gal pals in the Buckhead area who haven't purchased a home yet so they're all renting. I'll have to pass your name along to them in case any of them move from their current locations!
