athens ga real estate: Athens, GA Healthy Spring Increasing Summer Prices for Real Estate
- 06/20/12 04:51 PM
A recent trip to the grocery store led to an impromtu real estate seminar in the produce section yet again. A client who purchased their home from me a few years ago found me carefully inspecting cantaloupes - as always, the question of the day was "How's the real estate market?". I was overjoyed to answer "Better than it's been in a few years now!". And then proceeded to explain just why: The Athens, Ga market has remained mostly stable with only pockets of significantly declining areas. The inventory levels are at the lowest in a 24 month period. This means … (0 comments)
athens ga real estate: Short Selling in Athens, GA
- 06/03/10 09:25 AM
Short Selling in Athens, GA is frankly challenging! Although blessed by a relatively stable economy, we are still in a stagnant home resell market. REO (real estate owned by banks after foreclosure) inventory is increasing monthly, and starting to significantly affect resale and new construction appraisals. Negotiating short sales has recently become even more fraught with potholes, as wait times increase and documentation of hardships becomes more stringent. We are getting a lot of questions about "short sales". Over the next few weeks, I am going to attempt to answer some of the real estate short sale questions I am … (0 comments)
