Get Home Atlanta! Now is a terrific time to buy real estate!



Right now is a terrific time to buy a home. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or looking to move-up to a larger home, it’s a GREAT time to be a buyer in Atlanta. Here are the top 10 reasons why you need to buy in Atlanta now:

  1. Homeownership – the first step to building wealth
  2. It is a Buyer’s Market! Builders are offering a host of value-added incentives, but hurry they won’t last long
  3. Interest rates remain low
  4. May be eligible for tax deductions
  5. Return on Investment – the rate of appreciation in Atlanta is above the national average
  6. By owning your own home, you can live the American Dream
  7. Location…Location…Location – homes are available in a variety of price ranges throughout the entire greater Atlanta region
  8. Housing Choice – home buyers have more choices than ever before – from traditional single family homes to mixed use developments, today’s homes feature flexible designs, innovative technology & the latest products and finishes. 
  9. Energy efficient construction techniques and products translate into savings
  10. Atlanta remains a hot market, ranking 4th nationally in home sales


It’s a Buyers Market in Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens & Gilmer – Metro Atlanta.

The state of the real estate market today allows the buyer, to get exactly what you want, where you want, when you want. Need a house with an extra bedroom for a recent addition to the family? Want a bigger yard for the dogs? Want a kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances to make entertaining easy? You can have it! Want to live downtown, Midtown, near a lake, on a golf course, in the mountains, or anywhere else? You can!  Maybe you need to move next month or maybe you need to sell your current home first.  There’s something out there that’s exactly what you are looking for.

Basic differences between Buyer and Seller Markets:

IN A BUYER’S MARKET

  • More supply (more houses for sale)
  • Better upgrade packages available
  • Attractive financing packages available
  • Builders/sellers more likely to entertain an offer

IN A SELLER’S MARKET

  • Less supply (less houses for sale)
  • Upgrade packages may not be as extensive
  • Financing packages may not be as attractive
  • Buyers must be more competitive in their offers
