For those of you who watch the news always looking to hear answers to your questions about the housing market, well today was a good day to listen. The national statistics came out and some good and some bad news. Home sales were up last month over 2 % , the price of homes were down over 15 %. Now those of you looking to purchase a home in Rome Georgia will find that the housing market is changing in our area as well.
The number of homes for sale in Rome Ga is actually going down. Yes , I said down. In May 2009, there were only 159 new listings put on the market in our area. This is down over last year which there were 225 new listings in May 2008. This is showing what we call a shift in the market. Homes that are priced to sell are getting multiple offers which is great for a seller, they get a better offer on their home.

The number of home sales in Rome Georgia for May 2009 is 66 verses May 2008 showing 107. Yes sales are down but, the number of actually homes being sold is looking better for the deals are still out there however, you must not be hesitant in your decision to purchase.

That's why you hire a Realtor to help you in the largest investment you will make. Maybe not your last.
Most of the time your not going to find everything in your home, the only way that is going to happen is if you decide to build a new home. New home construction is still a great option .
