Is The Atlanta Metro Housing Market Picking Up?

What do you think?

Is the Atlanta metro area housing market picking up?

Well, I believe it is! I have written 4 contracts in the last 5 days -- all for 1st time home buyers in a price range of $119,000 to $217,500!

On Sunday, two of my listings -- a condo/townhome in Woodstock and a beautiful ranch style home in Lawrenceville conducted Open Houses. To see information on these two listings click on these links www.228VillageSquareDr.com and www.1280LogCabinWay.com.

Because of the Master's telecast on TV, as well as a beautiful spring day, I had my doubts about visitor traffic and a high turn-out. Regardless of my concerns, both properties experienced at least 5 groups each during the afternoon. Very good for a beautiful Sunday afternoon coupled with a major sports event on TV.

All visitors to Metro Brokers Open House's are automatically entered to win $1000 for their visits to an open house event on Open House Sunday which are held monthly on the 2nd Sunday of the month. In May, the next Open House event is scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in May -- since Mothers Day is the 2nd Sunday.

It is my experience that 1st time home buyers seem to be leading the way as they race to be under a Binding Agreement by the April 30th deadline.

Whether you are a 1st time home buyer, or you have been around the block a few times with experience, OR if you have a home to sell, please call me with your many questions. I look forward to assisting your real estate needs when the time is right for you. -- Sara Hibbard, 770-399-8108.
