ATLANTA GEORGIA REAL ESTATE – SEPTEMBER 2021 ATLANTA REAL ESTATE NEWS

Hey, this is Parker, your favorite Atlanta REALTOR. It has been a very busy few weeks for me in Atlanta, and we are definitely overdue for a new video! So, I wanted to share some quick on the ground updates about what’s going on in the Atlanta market right now. Let’s get going!

The last few weeks, I’ve had a bunch of buyers in town, and I have been all over Atlanta looking at houses. Everywhere from Midtown all the way up to Milton, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Lawrenceville. I’ve been everywhere – I can tell you right now, there are so many houses on the market in Atlanta, that have been waiting for a buyer. These are houses that have been on the market three, four, five weeks, and they’re just waiting for a good buyer. These are houses that last spring would have sold in one weekend with multiple offers. Now they’re on the market for a month, generating one offer!

So things have softened up considerably here. I’m definitely not going to say that it’s a buyer’s market by any stretch of the imagination, but it feels very balanced right now, and things are operating at a much more normal pace. So, for example, I was out with clients last week –  we were looking in town, looking at city of Decatur, and we looked at five houses, and actually came away with three really good choices that were priced very reasonably – three excellent options out of five houses that we looked at. It’s very surprising, I mean it’s probably been 17 or 18 months since I’ve seen that kind of availability, and I’m seeing this trend everywhere. It’s not just in town, like I said, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Lawrenceville – it’s everywhere!

So, if you got totally spooked by all the panic buying last spring, I can assure you that is over. It’s a much more normal market now. It’s brisk, it’s very busy, but it’s not out of control – like roller coaster careening down the tracks wheels about to fall off kind of insanity, which is what it was like in the spring.

So if you’re thinking of making the move to Atlanta, now is an excellent time to be looking. I always encourage people to look in the fall – it’s an excellent time to go out and pick up some bargains. If you’re in the market, as always my phone number is down below. Feel free to give me a call, and we’ll have some more video content out later this week – thanks!
