State of the Union Spring 2017: Supply is limited and demand is only increasing!

Spring 2017.     Atlanta Condos, Townhomes and Single Family Homes continue to be in great demand.      For buildings built 2005 and newer, most all of them are hitting new all-time highs.     Buildings built prior to 2005 are split with some hitting new highs, and others still 5-20% below their pre-2008 recession levels.    Continued, historically low interest rates, an ongoing lack of new housing supply for sale, and an improving labor market that is finally surpassing an inflection point, coupled with continued, rapidly advancing Atlanta  rental pricing has pushed more and more people...

Condos to outpace Single Family homes for the 2nd year in a row. Atlanta, one of the strongest condo markets.

I was going through some zillow.com news and blogs last week and noted this article, tonight another more abridged one.   I have added the links below.   I also noted the Regional Business Chronicle Papers tended to pick it up with their own local spin.   So I was thumbing through Dallas, Charlotte, Seattle (yes I own SEACondoDeals.com among others).   It basically states that in most urban markets in the US condominiums outpaced Single Family homes in terms of appreciation.  It lists the Atlanta market with condo appreciation near double the rate of single family homes.   Truthfully, given...

State of the Union Summer 2015: Prices are up, up and away – To the moon I say!

Everything is rising, especially homes and condos within the Perimeter.   Prices, in many cases, for many buildings, are now at pre-ression levels, and some buildings are hitting all time highs.    Continued record low interest rates, a lack of new housing supply for sale, an improving labor market, and rapidly advancing Atlanta Metro rental pricing has pushed more and more to home ownership.      The field is so crowded not that most properties are going under contract at or above list. Of my current/past ten Real Estate Brokerage transactions all have either gone under contract at (or...

Foreclosures Vs. Relocations, Vs. Shorts Sales and Approved Short Sales

As I meet with Buyers, especially new home Buyers I tend to relay this message over and over so I thought I would just blog it on here today.     In this post, I am going to walk through the four kinds of “distressed sales”. 1.) Foreclosures Foreclosures are historically one of my favorite kinds of Real Estate to help my Buyers purchase, and to purchase for my own portfolio.    With a foreclosure, historically the price has often been below market and depending on how long the property has been on the market, considerable concessions could be had.   Recently, one of my clients...

Half of 2013 is just about in! The market remains very robust!

So June is well under way, and I am happy to say my firm already has over 3 million in deals closed this year by the end of June.     My clients have been able to receive the best of the best in terms of Highrise, Midrise, Loft and Investment values this year.      When seeking a Condo for sale in Atlanta GA, there is nowhere else to turn.   Interestingly, as I was surfing last night I noticed a new Real Estate site.   There are in fact many in the past few years that attempt to rank firms, brokers and agents and apply various degrees of analytics.      As many of you know I...

The 2013 Fortune 500 List – Atlanta Companies and what they mean for Real Estate

A few weeks ago I received my copy of the 2013 Fortune 500 in the mail.   Only today while killing some time at Grindhouse Burgers in Buckhead was I able to get a good look through it.    Before delving into 2013′s list and what it means for Atlanta let offer some background with regard to my thoughts on the list, the companies and what they can mean to a local real estate market. Let me first start by mentioning my thoughts six years ago,  when abandoning NYC in 2007 I told my many friends in California and New York about how Texas was leading the nation not only in new job growth,...
