Cherokee County GA 1st Quarter Results: 2008 versus 2007 - Sat, 03 May 2008
Sales across Cherokee County for the first quarter fell 34% from 2007 to 2008. In January to March 2007, there were 851 closings in Cherokee County, versus 558 sales for the same period in 2008. Additionally, the foreclosure rate in Cherokee County doubled from March 2008 to April 2008, which will result in further pressure for prices to decline.
Recent interest rate reductions and the BEST prices and DEALS for real estate in 20 years, plus the spring market will bring out buyers, making it critical for sellers to know what to do to stand out among the masses of homes on the market! Professional Marketing, condition, and price are critical. Offering a home as a "lease purchase" can also open more doors, especially with buyers who need to sell in another state before they can buy in GA. I have recently done two lease purchase contracts in Bradshaw Farm and one in Lake Arrowhead. Getting a sizeable upfront non-refundable deposit, plus adequate rent to cover carrying costs, will give a seller either a sale in 12 months or buy some time until the market improves if the buyer doesn't end up closing....either option might be a win-win for a buyer and seller in this market!
Cherokee County Real Estate Recap for 2007 - Wed, 02 Apr 2008
Although 2007 was certainly a tough year for real estate sales, my team worked more hours and spent more money on marketing in order to remain the #1 residential resale agent team in Cherokee County.
Real Estate is not a "one man" (or "one woman") show.....it is a collective team effort. I am proud of the hard work of myteam members and the support of my ERA Sunrise Realty broker, DavidJohnson, and owner, David Moody.ERA Sunrise Realty focuses on building long term client and agent relationships that help everyone achieve their goals. They are known for cutting edgetechnology and lead generationwhich is very important as real estate becomes more internet driven.
As we enter 2008, the market started off slow inJanuary and February, but March and April arecoming inat a fantastic pace, so check out my Cherokee County Real Estate Website and find some great deals on homes while interest rates are still super low!
