It sits on 1.2 acres and has 1,723 square feet of living space, giving buyers a nice mix of updated interior space and outdoor room to enjoy.

Click Here Real Estate News The Metro Atlanta real estate market is starting to feel more balanced. Buyers have more room to breathe than they did during the fast-moving pandemic market, and homes are taking a little longer to sell. In Atlanta, homes recently sold in about 64 days on average, compared to 57 days last year, and the median sale price was around $425,000. That tells us prices are not crashing, but buyers are being more careful and taking their time before making decisions. For buyers, this can be good news. More homes sitting on the market means you may have more chances to negotiate price, closing costs, repairs, or other terms. But affordability is still a real issue because mortgage rates are still higher than many buyers would like. The key right now is to get fully pre-approved, know your payment range, and be ready to move when the right home comes up. For sellers, pricing matters more than ever. The days of listing high just to “test the market” are not working the same way anymore. Well-priced homes that show well can still get strong attention, but overpriced homes may sit longer or need price adjustments. If you are thinking about selling, the best move is to look at recent sales in your neighborhood, prepare the home well, and create a strategy that attracts serious buyers from the start.
