Atlanta News First · Getting By Better
Atlanta just hit a two-year high. In June, the median home sales price was $410,000, and at the same time, more homes are hitting the market. There were nearly 13,000 new listings in June, but inventory still remains tight.
So what does all of this mean if you are looking to buy, sell, or even just stay put?
I had the pleasure of joining Atlanta News First on "Getting By Better" to break down exactly what is happening in our market right now.
Key Takeaways
We have been in a seller's market for some time now, and with inventory increasing, buyers are getting a little bit more selective and getting ready to negotiate a little bit more.
Buyers have more negotiating power, and this means that sellers really have to have a little bit more patience, a little bit more preparation, and really have a strategy when putting their home on the market.
What This Means for You
If You Are a Buyer
You have more choices and more negotiating power than you have had in a while. Do not rush, but do not wait too long either.
If You Are a Seller
Preparation and strategy are more important than ever. Your home needs to stand out in a market where buyers are being more selective.
If You Are Staying Put
Your home's value is likely still strong, but keep an eye on your neighborhood's activity.
