Do You Have Doubts About Selling This Winter?


Do you think that winter is a bad time to sell? Let me set the record straight with a few reasons why the opposite is actually true.

Are you thinking of selling your home in the winter? To some, that might sound crazy, but here’s the scoop:

In the winter, we have fewer homes on the market for sale. This is because everyone in Atlanta thinks it’s a terrible time to list, so people take their houses off the market by the hundreds.

There are also fewer buyers. During the winter months we have 50% fewer homes for sale, but just up to 15% fewer buyers. Do you see the advantage of selling in the winter now? Houses that couldn’t sell in the summer are selling now because the inventory is so low.

Because selling in the winter is great, some people wonder if they should only sell during the winter. To that, I’d say, “No!” The best time to sell your house is when you are ready. For those of you who are afraid of putting their house on the market now, though, know that this is truly one of the best times to sell a house.

If you have any questions about your specific home or your specific neighborhood, please give me a call. I’d be happy to help get you on the path to selling your home successfully this winter.

An End-Of-The-Year Recap for 2017


The year is almost over and thankfully, it’s been a good one. Here are three things I noticed about 2017 in retrospect.

2017 is almost over, so let’s do a little recap of what we saw this year here in Atlanta.

First of all, inventory is down by several thousand homes. This is a good thing. Also, this factor is driving our next point: sales.

Next to 2016, sales are much higher in 2017.

Prices are also higher. Overall, the Metro Atlanta area has seen a growth in sales of about 5% on average. 2017 has been an excellent year and we expect next year to be the same.

The good times for real estate are here. We hope they stick around for a long time.
