Mid-Year Market Update & Property Taxes

July 2022 Newsletter
Greetings!
July marks the height of summer … spring blooms have faded and tomatoes, corn and watermelon now rule. This month’s articles offer up suggestions for cooling off and if you’re up for a project, kitchen remodeling:
  • Mid-Year Market Update. The section includes a link to an excellent Dave Ramsey video, our mid-year statistics for the Atlanta area, and good resources if you are looking to lower your property tax assessment and bill.
  • Indoor Air Quality. The summer heat keeps us inside where, according to the EPA, air pollution can be 5 times higher than outside! We’ve offered up a few solutions for breathing a little easier.
  • Kitchen Design Trends. The Remodeling 2022 Cost vs. Value Report lists a mid-range kitchen renovation as the #1 interior renovation project for yielding ROI. Home Stratosphere, a home and garden blog, never fails to deliver the latest and greatest trends in all elements of a kitchen remodel.
  • Atlanta Summer Chillin’. Offering up things to keep you cool … natural swimming holes, an ice cream festival, a serene museum exhibit, rent a pool by the hour and more!
  • Last Chance to Win! Enter the chance to win 2 tickets to the Braves vs. Mets on Monday, July 11th. See below for details.
It’s always a pleasure to share information about trends in Atlanta’s real estate market. We hope you’ll find this edition helpful, informative and entertaining. And if you or someone you know is considering a change of home, we’d love to chat!

Mid-Year Market Update & Property Tax Assessments
Take a look at this video by Dave Ramsey! Skip to the 2 minute mark of this 7 minute video. He absolutely nails the reasons why the next 6 months for BOTH buyers and sellers are the best time to make it happen in the next 5 years. Like, seriously, nails it.
