The Athens, GA real estate market is well on it's way to recovery in 2014, in my opinion.  Pocket areas still continue to be volatile, but an overall an increase in median price has been occurring over the prior 12 months. Days On Market have also decreased overall.  I've also noted that some houses that were not distressed real estate (Short Sales or post Foreclosure) have been selling recently even after extended Days on the Market.  This indicates good news for those who wish to sell Athens, Ga area homes.  Potential sellers who but have been waiting for the market to recover, as they see a regain in their equity in many cases are able to at least break even or make a profit now. Although deals on post foreclosure (commonly know as REOs) homes are still available, there are fewer ava... 01/13/2014

    Every day my phone rings - a lot!  Many of the buyers are on some web site and ask me about a home they are interested in possibly purchasing.  Unfortunately, I often have to tell them that the home is no longer available.  Repeatedly they are on Zillow, or Trulia, or many of the other sites on the web attempting o search for a new home. Most buyers start their home search online these days.  And it does make it much easier to "narrow" down the search.  But why do homeowners choose to search all these other sites?  Especially when so many feature out of date information!

A recent trip to the grocery store led to an impromtu real estate seminar in the produce section yet again. A client who purchased their home from me a few years ago found me carefully inspecting cantaloupes - as always, the question of the day was "How's the real estate market?". I was overjoyed to answer  "Better than it's been in a few years now!".  And then proceeded to explain just why: The Athens, Ga market has remained mostly stable with only pockets of significantly declining areas. The inventory levels are at the lowest in a 24 month period.  This means it is a more balanced market - instead of just a strong buyer's market. Interest rates are fabulously low! Prices are still affordable! I am excited by the opportunities for both buyers and sellers in the Athens, GA real estate ... 06/20/2012
