Metro Atlanta’s Mid-Year Market Update

August 2023 Newsletter

A SUMMARY FOR SELLERS: Despite some areas experiencing price drops and longer days on the market, the tight inventory ensures that sellers continue to maintain the upper hand in the real estate market. In Metro Atlanta, homes are still receiving multiple bids and selling swiftly. It remains evident that appropriately priced homes that show well consistently attract buyers and sell at or close to the list price.

A SUMMARY FOR BUYERS: As the market stabilizes, buyers may find increased leeway in terms of concessions like waiving home inspections. However, given the limited inventory, it remains crucial for buyers to have their financing prepared to swiftly make an offer once they encounter a prospective home.

The Latest Buzz in New Construction

July 2023 Newsletter

News in New Construction: Statistics on new construction, how an agent can help, and an excellent resource listing all the new and future projects.

Optimal Indoor Comfort: Did you know that Americans spend over 90% of their time indoors? This month the focus is on keeping your home cool and ways to improve the air quality in your home.

Summer Home Maintenance Checklist: It’s time to concentrate on the exterior of our homes – and this is the “best of” list for our climate in Georgia.

Elevating Culinary Spaces: Both Houzz and Home Stratosphere offer up articles with many photos showing the trends for the year.

Beat the Heat with Cool Escapes: Pickin’ peaches, waterfalls, best BBQ, day pool passes at hotels, indoor (and air-conditioned) arcades, cabanas, DIY backyard games, an ice cream festival, ideas for travel, and more.

It’s always a pleasure to share news and information about changes and trends in Atlanta’s real estate market. We hope you’ll find this edition helpful, informative, and entertaining – and we always welcome your feedback. If you or someone you know is considering a change at home, we’d love to chat!

Atlanta Housing Market Has the Most Potential for Growth in the U.S.

Atlanta has greater housing affordability than comparable cities.
Our population is growing more rapidly.
20% of renters in Atlanta can afford to buy a median-priced home.

Atlanta also boasts a robust and growing job market, where many major technology companies, such as Apple, Microsoft and Visa, are relocating from the West Coast. Read the full article …

2023 Real Estate Forecasts

December 2022 Newsletter

Greetings!

We hope December finds you enjoying all the warmth and joy of the holiday season! In this month’s newsletter topics include:

National & Local Real Estate Forecasts for 2023: Reliable sources from different segments of the real estate industry weigh in
Holiday Traditions: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and other celebrations around the world
Holiday Libations: Cocktails, Mocktails, Hot Chocolate, and a bit of the “hair of the dog” for New Years Day
Atlanta Celebrations: Holiday lights, menorah lightings, gift ideas, Chinese restaurants, First Day Hikes 2023, and more

We hope that you find ideas that inspire you and add to a meaningful and peaceful holiday season. Many thanks for your friendship, support, and kindness this past year.

The Providence Group

P.S. Is Christmas complete without Oprah’s Favorite Things? We think not! And we love the fact that they focused on small businesses this year.

National and Local Real Estate Forecasts for 2023

Housing Experts, Polls, and Opinions

“Will house prices go down in 2023? Depending on who you ask, the forecast for 2023 is mixed. Most experts in the housing industry predict less buyer demand, lower prices, and higher borrowing rates. Rate increases, along with a shortage of availability, have pushed many purchasers to the sidelines. Home prices may fall slightly, but not drastically as they did in 2008. Some believe that the housing market will continue to outperform compared to the pre-pandemic.”

“Metro Atlanta’s housing market has witnessed three turbulent years. But there was consensus about the area most poised for growth in the next year.”

“We polled eight industry insiders for their 2023 mortgage rate predictions and answers varied widely, from just 5% to over 9% for the 30-year fixed rate.”
