ReaL Estate Report for Alpharetta

I am a firm believer that the real estate market is nothing more than supply and demand.  When the demand for homes goes down because buyers can not get financing, then the the months supply of homes goes up because less people can purchase the homes on the market.  I just checked the Alpharetta months supply of homes on the market at the end of January (primarily North Fulton areas 13 & 14) and the months supply of homes is at 6 months - around 5 - 6 months is considered a stable market.  I think once the supply of homes stabilizes then we will start to get price appreciate instead of the price decreases.  I also think a key element in the return of the real estate market is the unemployment rate - which decreased considerably in December.  I think as long as the unemployment rate improves then consumer confidence will improve and then we will have more demand for homes - I still think we are 2-3 years away from getting back to a "normal" market -
