A Coweta County real estate roundtable discussion about the local housing market in Newnan Georgia.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Today I had the pleasure of joining a roundtable discussion with other Coweta County real estate agents and mortgage professionals.

Coweta County Real EstateThe discussion centered around price stability and the availability of financing, both of which are key issues of concern in the county, as they are intrinsically linked to one another.

It was agreed that now is one of the best times to buy, due to both historically low sales prices combined with rock bottom interest rates.

The panel also determined that the impediments to recovery are low appraisals, new mortgage regulations and compliance issues, documentation requirements, and lack of consumer confidence.

The suggested solutions were consumer education, local appraisers, and some streamlining on the mortgage process for qualified buyers with good track records,

It is cathartic to brainstorm with your peers. And by working together we can make a difference in Coweta County Georgia.

Richard, I hope that there are some good things that come out of this roundtable discussion. You are all so right, these things are paramount.

I love to see Realtors on town and city economic development commissions. I don't think our voices are heard enough. We are key in town and city revitalization. We have good, solid ideas on how to build our communities, we are in the trenches with the people that are hurting the most. 

And what a beautiful plant you won!

This is a good thing.  We need to talk with our peers and those we compete against.  In the long run, we really all work together!

That's a fine looking peace lily there Richard, and I agree with the issues that you all came up with that's stopping the improvement of the market.

It's like the stock market Richard, no one wants stocks when they are lowly priced only when everyone else is buying them.
