The inventory of homes for sale in Alpharetta, Roswell and Marietta GA is rising as expected in a spring market. The number of qualified buyers is also as expected - that's right, the key word being QUALIFIED. The nation is relearning a basic lesson; home-ownership isn't a right; it's a privilege and not everyone that wants one is able to buy one. There's no point in droning on about all of this as the media is doing a great job at convincing us that the next depression is right around the corner. It's not, but the nation better get a grip on things or....
Basic economic rules apply when shopping for a home in Alpharetta, Roswell and Marietta; "buy with your head, not over it" (I kind of swiped that from the NY lotto slogan!). We're putting QUALIFIED buyers in North Atlanta homes and we're negotiating from a position of strength. Our buyers are sleeping at night knowing that they took their time, saw the data, understood the process and made smart purchases. We counsel our North Atlanta buyers to get preapproved - not prequalified - so we can demonstrate to sellers that they are serious. The North Atlanta real estate market is an oyster to our buyers and we find them the pearls. Have a look at how we operate CLICK HERE
So what should a home seller in overall Atlanta real estate market expect? That depends on how realistic they are. The first and most important thing they must do is acknowledge the statistics. Harris Interactive completed a study that showed only 23% of owners feel that their home has lost value over the last year. I'd hope that this 23% just purchased their home but that's not likely. We're finding that sellers don't want to be "confused by the facts" and prefer to think that they will buck the data. Successfully selling a home in metro Atlanta in the current market requires three main factors ACCURATE PRICE - EXTENSIVE EXPOSURE - APPEALING HOME. You have to price it right, it has to be easily found by buyers and agents and it has to show well. We're selling many of our Alpharetta, Roswell and Marietta homes off buyer direct contact - not agents as many "opportunity" agents are leaving the business (thank God!). If you're selling a home in Atlanta I'd encourage you to contact us, there's much we can do at no cost to you. Have a look at how we operate CLICK HERE
