Sergey Krayev or the rise of a real estate consultant in Atlanta, GA? Home prices increased a lot in 2020 and the speed of appreciation seems to continue in 2021. March’s sales were 32.5% higher than in February, which is a positive sign even though buyers are facing some real challenges with low inventory levels. The median sales price rose 15.8% year over year and 5.1% month over month to $330,000, according to the Atlanta Realtors Association. Metro Atlanta housing market has experienced a very strong recovery by far. Despite unemployment and uncertainty, the greater Atlanta residential real estate market performed extremely well during 2020.
One of the biggest reasons for a strong real estate market continues to be the extremely low interest rates that are enticing buyers into the market and giving them more buying power. Even as home values continue to rise, low mortgage rates give buyers more buying power. It’s not only low interest rates pushing up prices to record highs. A lack of homes for sale is a big part of it too. 2021 will be defined by low interest rates and low inventory, a perfect storm that will continue to push home prices higher.
Sergey Krayev real estate recommendation of the day: Now that you know the “fair market value” of the home you like, it’s time to determine how much you are willing to pay. Establishing this prior to making a formal offer helps define your personal limits. You should determine how much to offer, how much earnest money you will put down, how much of the closing costs you will ask the seller to pay, when you plan to settle, and what inspections you plan to have conducted. Your agent will offer great advice for structuring your offer. Remember to ask your agent about contingencies and their importance. If you don’t fully understand something, be sure to clarify it.
