Sales Prices Are Up & the DOM Total is Down. Why Aren't You Selling?

     It’s November in Atlanta…we all know what that means. The temperature is dropping, Falcons football is in full effect, seasonal Holiday candy is back in stock, and (most importantly) the September Real Estate Market statistics are in. Here are some key highlights.

September 2013 Atlanta Market:

• The Median Sales Price increased 35% ($189,000 vs $140,000 for September 2012).
• Average Total Days on Market (DOM) decreased 22.2% (70 days vs 90 days in September 2012).
• The Metro Atlanta Unemployment rate is down to 8% (*August 2013 data used due to September Government Shutdown).
• The Median Household Income is still above the National Average ($54,628 vs $51,371).

However

• Inventory of Homes for Sale is in steady decline, down another 12.6% (-16.8% in September 2011, -22.9% in September 2012).

This dramatic shortage of available inventory has caused a huge drop in sales. Demand is up and supply is down; the houses just aren’t there to buy. So why aren’t Atlanta home owners selling? Market confidence could be the answer, but one look at these numbers proves now is the time to get back out there.
