Big News for Homebuyers + Fun This Weekend!


This Week In Real Estate:

Here’s what’s new:

Good News for Homebuyers:
Mortgage rates have dipped slightly this week, now averaging 6.69%, giving buyers a little more breathing room when it comes to monthly payments. While still higher than rates from a few years ago, this small drop could mean a lower monthly mortgage or a little extra buying power.

For Sellers:
Homes priced under $400K in Metro Atlanta are still moving quickly. If you're thinking about selling, this is a great time to list — especially if your home is updated and move-in ready. Buyers are hunting for homes with modern kitchens, neutral colors, and clean curb appeal.

📌 Tip: Sellers who offer closing cost help or rate buy-down incentives are seeing more offers, faster!
