Needs and Wants V. Inventory!

I don't think I could have said this any better myself- this is a perfect depiction of the market around the St. Louis area too!  If you are looking and not finding what you want then maybe it is time to figure out what you can do without or widen your search area.  Either way- I am happy to help anyone find the perfect (or as close as we can get to it) home for them;)
Potential home buyers in Coweta County Georgia must first face one stark reality:
There are less than 650 single family houses listed for sale on the MLS. There are also currently 250 house under contract.

For example, if you want a single level home with a full basement from $200,000-$250,000 there are only three that are available as of the date of this article. If you want one less than 20 years old there are NONE!
In times of low inventory buyers have only two choices:
