What Does This Mean For Buyers?
Buyers looking for a single-family attached or detached home in Georgia can expect to find home prices higher, however, there are more properties to choose from. While buyers need to have a strategy in place and act quickly, expectations need to be managed. Activity is typically slower over the winter months and buyers may find less competition for in-demand homes, which gives buyers some much-needed leverage in certain situations.
Buyers should have financing in place and understand that time is not on their side. As we head into the summer buying season, more buyers will enter the market which can create more demand and drive prices upward. If you are thinking of buying a home in Georgia, give us a call today and we will find you the perfect home.
What Does This Mean For Sellers?
While the market is typically slower in the winter seasons, there is still continuing demand for properties of all types. While there has been an increase in inventory, home prices for attached and detached properties are continuing to climb. While interest rates have climbed and slowed demand. Georgia continues to be a State that is highly desired by out of state buyers.
As we head in to the summer buying season, expect an uptick in demand of homes and further increase in home prices. If you are thinking of selling your home, give us a call today and we will help get your sold as quick as possible.
