The Newnan Georgia real estate market is picking up steam and gaining momentum.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

The Newnan real estate market is gaining steam.After several years of economic corrections, the Newnan Georgia real estate market seems to be gaining some momentum.

And a lot of the increased activity is coming from outside the county and even more from outside the state of Georgia. Many transferees that are heading for the Atlanta metropolitan region have heard about Coweta County and the tremendous real estate values there!

As a result, the inventory available in July 2010 is about half the number of homes that were available just one year ago. And diminished supply and steady demand is tending to stabilize prices.

But even in the heyday of expansion, Coweta County homes were considered to be bargains. That is truer now more than ever!

If you are considering a move to the Atlanta area, be sure to spend at least a day in Coweta County. You’ll find the combination of low prices and excellent amenities to be almost irresistible!

Richard, thanks for sharing your good economic news, a bump anywhere on the East Coast sends positive signals further up the pond...I'm hoping for a ripple effect further North (P.S. throw bigger rocks in the pond)

I watch the local inventory in Seattle everyday and see that there are more listings going pending than coming on the market. Some of the "new" listings are relists. To be fair, some of the pendings will fall out. All in all, our market is good. All I need is more good listings.

I knew you're market had to be feeling some correction when your blogs were about how you had no free time because you were so busy.  Great news!

I guess the combination of lower prices and good interest rates are bringing out the buyers.  I am seeing a good absorption rate in my area as well.

Richard,  I am glad it's picking up on your side of town.  I haven't looked lately, but it does seem that inventory is down somewhat.  I hope it's a sign of things to come. 

BTW, I love Newnan, it's a very charming area.  SELL SELL SELL!

Richard - let's go surfing and ride the wave. I can't explain it but was told to never complain about a good thing. Charlotte has a similar bump going on. Perhaps it'e the rates or the time of year. I liken it to rolling hay into the barn and preparing for winter. Let the (semi) good times roll

I hope you're over there near John Mulkey so that your market can affect his market. He seems to have nothing but doom and gloom still.

Richard....good news for you & your area...hopefully not too many from Michigan are moving your way as that will leave us with fewer Buyer clients.  LOL
Hopefully, the South will be the bell-ringer for some of us in the Mid-west & those in the North too.
