Homes Are Selling in North Atlanta. I Hope It Continues

Lately I have been reluctant to take listings. Who wants something that's going to sit there and drain your time and energy? But I'm glad I took on my most recent listing in Roswell Georgia.

I took a listing a few weeks ago and got it under contract in 9 days. It's a home in the $500K range. He had bought it in July of 2007 so I thought it might be tough to get him out whole. I did my market research and thought we had a good chance at selling it even in a slow market at a price he could handle. I won't be able to give out details until it closes in a few weeks.

We had 7 showings in the first week and several people calling up for more information. We negotiated a contract on day nine.

We just got done with all contingencies and appraisals and are clear to close.

I had a call from an agent who had someone interested and was really disappointed that it was already under contract.

I also have another listing that had a lot of activity and we received two offers on it. It's in the $400K range.

If I didn't know any better, I would think that it was a hot market. I hope it continues.
