ATLANTA REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT
(MARCH 2011)
HUD and the U.S. Department of the Treasury released the March edition of the Obama Administration's Housing Scorecard. Nationally, the numbers continue to reflect how fragile our housing market is overall. The report showed dips in home sales and prices. The continuation of foreclosures is keeping home prices depressed. Locally, we saw a 10 percent decline in sales March 2011 compared to one year ago.

The gain in home values continues to struggle in our Atlanta housing market. March saw an overall decline of approximately 10% in our home prices. Overall the Atlanta real estate market has been removed from the "depressed" market category by most lenders. However, there are still some areas of Atlanta that are still considered declining and this does have an impact in loan down payment requirements. It is important to know before you buy if you are looking in a "depressed" area or not.
