Selling in Today's Market

Someimes turning on the news is just too depressing. Well ,what I can tell you is the news about the real estate market is not the real picture of the market we currently have in Atlanta. In the Atlanta market we have been very fortunate.In most cases the property values have increased over last year.The cases where we see some loss in value or just stagnate is the case of someone owning a newer construstion home that is in an area where there is ongoing construction.Unless the construction in the area is much higher priced it is difficult to sell the house that has been lived in unless it is priced much less than the never lived in new construction.

In the intown market, such as,Midtown,Virginia Highlands and Morningside we are seeing good sales.What we advise our sellers is to prepare the property for sale by pricing it right,staging the house or condo to sell, and get an agent that will market the property.

Keep in mind Atlanta is the number one city for young professional to move to for jobs. This will keep the real estate market in Atlanta strong for a long time to come.
