Atlanta Buckhead Midtown and More - Community Gardens Around Town - 1 Atlanta, Buckhead, Midtown and many more sections of the City of Atlanta offer surprising glimpses of small town enterprises. Who would think that so many Community Gardens exist inside the urban area!Let's review the top blue "x" marking on the map in this post. In the area Atlantans call Northeast, the Blue Heron Nature Preserve offers a mix of public and private governance. The dense car-focused vista is now planted with grasses and herbaceous plants - shall we go so far as to say wild flowers? - and recreating a meadow. Meadows, known in the South as Prairies, consist of low foliage and not trees. Small animals live in the grasses and among the plants.Along the side of Roswell Road, a heavily built-up area with ma...

At this point - beginning of March '23, the spring market in Atlanta is just beginning to stir. January popped as rates dropped, but the subsequent increases slowed buyers. We're also seeing the shortage of inventory impact sales, just haven't seen the same bump as years past.The key over the next two months is inventory, if it remains scarce the number of sales will remain low and values will continue to hold and increase again. Simple supply and demand.Here's a look at what home sellers around Atlanta should expect.Here's a look at what home buyers around Atlanta should expect.

This is really shocking, she always seems so fiscally responsible and prudent. That her husband is a former NFL player might be the reason she's here to begin with. Very liberal use of "star" and "mansion"....This community was crushed during the last crash. I appraised a good 25-30 ranging from overleveraged owners in new built homes to just framed to just lots.See homes in The Manor

Home sellers in the spring 2023 market face the usual challenges, secure the best overall offer. This year however, add to this the mental side - home sellers in the spring of 2023 will not see the same conditions as last spring. Those that understand this will succeed, those that fail to.....Home Sellers in the Spring 2023 MarketHome sellers still hold the advantage in the greater Atlanta market and most areas in general. This is especially true for sellers with accurately priced and appealing homes.Successful Home SellersDespite the efforts of many so called "disruptors" to make it so, successfully selling a home isn't rocket science.

In the rush to buy homes, many home buyers left their common sense on the curb. Many errors were made, adverse exterior/locational issues being one of the most common. It's called external obsolescence; what is external obsolescence? This short video provides a real world example.External obsolescence is incurable; there is no solution to it. It's also highly localized and specific to the area. Homes in cities will be universally impacted by noise and activity so a location on a busy street is typical. An airport impacts areas around it; for those homes it's typical. Those factors will be mentioned of course, but appraisal adjustments not made if the comparables are similarly impacted. Buyers will also usually consider those factors "normal" and they will be factored into purchase decis...

The 2022 seller's housing market it gone and isn't likely to return. Sellers still enjoy an advantage but some will wonder, should I rent my home if it doesn't sell? That decision is not entirely up the seller...Renting a Home That Doesn't SellWhile the owner has obvious control over a home, it's not always unilateral. The vast majority of owners may have to get HOA permission to rent their homes, or the mortgage company, local municipality or other involved parties. Then there are the legal, accounting and insurance concerns.Why Didn't Your Home Sell?It might be best to understand why your home isn't selling. In almost every situation, the answer lies in the mirror. Start with the agent, do they know what they are doing? Is the home priced and marketed accurately? Are you treating this...

Home buyers are out and busy, the number of Atlanta sales contracts jumped in January. We're seeing this across the north Atlanta suburbs as buyers acclimate to the rates and the weather finally breaks. We see the slow down of buyer activity due to rate increases and the holidays, but look closer at activity after the holidays - Contracts written for homes in Atlanta spiked in January '23 signaling a strong open to the spring '23 season. We see the MLK weekend impact numbers but the prior week was as high as the best week in August.Atlanta is a strong market and there wasn't the pandemic bounce seen in many other areas. Fundamentals are strong here and the region is picked to be one of the better performing markets in 2023.

Here we go, the spring housing market around Greater Atlanta is starting to perk. Successful home sellers will find it a completely different market than a year ago. However, the Greater Atlanta area remains a seller's market. While the months of inventory is in the balanced range, sellers with highly desirable, accurately priced homes will see plenty of action. But DO NOT think it's spring of 2022.Balance is good, both home buyers and sellers benefit. Home sellers diving into the spring 2023 housing market can easily enjoy success. While the data shows balance, quality homes that are accurately priced and well presented will shine. Buyers will pass on the trash - last year they were infected with FOMO and everything sold. Last and most obvious key to success - only work with a full tim...

How's the market in Alpharetta, GA? Alpharetta is one of the most desirable North Atlanta suburbs and a great indicator of real estate market trends in the greater Atlanta area. A current look at the Alpharetta, GA real estate market using Altos Research data:This week the median list price for Alpharetta, GA is $897,000 with the market action index hovering around 40. This is less than last month's market action index of 42. Inventory has decreased to 136.The drop in inventory is evident but coming into the early spring market we expect inventory to increase. Look for this over the next 30 days as the spring market opens. Days on market increased due mainly to seasonal trends and rising interest rates. This will drop as interest rate sticker shock subsides and the spring market starts....
