Atlanta Real Estate Market: Not Quite the End of Urban Sprawl

     Last week I (and countless other real estate bloggers) reported on the recent findings that Atlanta market trends are shifting towards walkable urban locations inside the perimeter, also known as WalkUPs. While this is true, it’s not to say that the popular “urban sprawl” of Atlanta is dead just yet. Current market reports still indicate that the suburbs are alive & kicking outside the perimeter (OTP) as well.

First Multiple Listing Service of Atlanta reports:

OTP ‘Burbs: Sept 2012 VS. Sept 2013

•       Cumming: Sales Volume 14.7% UP Avg. Sales Price .3% UP Avg. Days on Market 25.6%DOWN
•         Roswell: Sales Volume 23.3%UP Avg. Sales Price 18.5% UP Avg. Days on Market 33.7% DOWN
•      Marietta: Sales Volume .4% UP Avg. Sales Price .4% UP Avg. Days on Market 37.8% DOWN
•      Stone Mountain: Sales Volume 2.6%UP Avg. Sales Price 35.7% UP Avg. Days on Market 36% DOWN

     So, what does this mean for YOU? If you’re looking to list your OTP Atlanta property, it means now is the time! With inventory low across the board, the demand is HUGE out there for ITP AND OTP property. Here’s a glimpse at some suburban properties we’ve already sold in Metro-Atlanta. See how much they saved & how your real estate property would stack up. With our flat fee MLS listing service, you have the opportunity to list for just $499 instead of the traditional 3% which means more money for your pocket OR a more competitive listing price. With the House Connect discount realty program, YOU get to decide.

ITP Atlanta Market Trend: "WalkUPs" in High Demand

     A recent report finds that Atlanta market trends are shifting from the suburbs to walkable urban places inside the perimeter (ITP), also known as WalkUPs as the hub of real estate growth & wealth-creating employment opportunities. The study, Walkable Urban Places by Chris Leinberger finds that:

·        Nearly 24% of total Metro-Atlanta jobs are located in established or emerging ITP WalkUPs

·        The real estate market for ITP WalkUPs has rapidly increased: 10% in the 90s cycle, doubling to 22% in the 2000s cycle, & more than doubling again to 50% in the current cycle

·        60+% of income-producing Atlanta property was developed in ITP WalkUPs

So What IS House Connect?

The most common question we get is “How is House Connect different than any other real estate company?” so we decided to post a blog about it. House Connect was developed based on the principle of offering a solution to home sellers here in the Metro Atlanta Market because the majority of Home Sellers today do not have as much equity in their homes today as they did just 5 years ago.  Additionally, many sellers argue the value of a listing agent since they can research the internet and find many tools online to help them.

Some home sellers still may not know it, but the Listing Agent commission is part of YOUR selling fees. If you list your home for sale with many of the traditional real estate brokerages, you’re responsible for paying commissions. 

So how is House Connect different? With House Connect, you pay a one-time fee to list your house. Instead of 6 %, you’re only responsible for the 3% Selling Agent commission (which will be calculated on the final sales price and charged at closing), saving you potentially thousands of dollars. Here’s an example:

If you listed your house for $100,000 with a traditional real estate agency, 3% would go to the Listing Agent and 3% would go to the Buyers Agent, costing you $6,000. List the same home with House Connect, and a flat fee of $499 plus an FMLS fee of .0012% ($120) is all you pay for your listing ($619 total), saving you $2,381! YOU can decide if that savings goes towards making your listing price more competitive or directly into your pocket!

         

         

…and the proof is in the pudding. We recently listed a house in Roswell that sold within 15 days! Still trying to sell on your own or using traditional Real Estate companies? Check out our website and see what we can do for you.

Some of the services you will receive for free when listing with House Connect include:

·       a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help you determine the right asking price for your home

·        a House Connect expert that will assist in showing your home, negotiating offers, and completing the closing process

·       entry into 2 multiple listing services that are utilized in the Atlanta area as well as over 55 real estate for-sale specialty sites.

…and much more!
