So, school’s out and we’re all breathing through traffic a little easier. This might be a good time to get used to a free resource: the GDOT 511 website. It will give you directions to your destination and help you avoid heavy traffic to save you time. Get used to it now so when back-to-school hits, you’ll be ready!

If you know of anyone considering making a move this summer, or if you would like to have a conversation about the dynamics in the Atlanta real estate market, we would love to chat.

Summer is here … enjoy!

New Construction In Atlanta

The Market, Builders, Agents and Resources

This time last year we were discussing the competitive nature of our new construction market in Atlanta due to rising material costs, supply chain delays, lack of labor, and few affordable lots. The summary for this summer can be summed up in three words: the trend continues!

The nature of that trend solidifies the need to have an agent represent your best interests. Why? Let us count the ways 😎

Most new construction contracts are unilateral in nature. It’s very important that you understand the process and the terms of the contract. Your real estate agent knows the critical elements of a contract and will research and inform you of important nuances.

Not all builders are the same. To make sure you’re satisfied, you’ll need to find a builder whose style and work preferences match your own. Real estate agents have strong networks and can assist with this search.

Your agent will help facilitate inspections, design consultations and schedule deadlines throughout the building process.

It can be all too easy to get caught up in creating your perfect dream home and over-invest in upgrades. A real estate agent can help keep you on track by reminding you of your new home’s potential resale value.

The builder, in nearly all cases, will not give you a discount for going without an agent. From your perspective, it won’t be any cheaper if you forgo one, which makes having an advocate a no-brainer.

The good news is, that in the metro Atlanta area, we have more building underway and more new communities under development then anytime in the last 15 years. If “shiny and new” is an important prerequisite, the future is bright!
