Home Buyers Have the Power, Sellers Can Still Win — Find Out How


This Week In Real Estate:

Here’s what’s new:

Atlanta home prices are on the move—July’s average price was $395,000, down 7.1% from last year, and homes are taking longer to sell.

This gives buyers more time to shop and negotiate, while sellers may need to price more competitively to attract offers. Nationwide, the market is also cooling, with over half of homes selling for less than the asking price—often tens of thousands lower.

For buyers, this is a chance to ask for better deals or extras like closing cost help. For sellers, staying flexible and realistic about pricing can help you sell faster in today’s market.
