Dear Country Club of the South Neighbors,

Like many other upper end areas throughout the country, the home sales in Country Club of the South continue to be sluggish. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the national share of home sales above $750,000 has fallen from 4.4% in 2007 to around 2.3% in 2009. In addition, the months' supply of inventory in this price range has risen from 18.7 months to 41.1 months. While the current government economic stimulus has helped the lower end, first-time home buyer segment, the limited availability and higher interest rates have stalled the jumbo loan market. Unfortunately, most homes here in Country Club of the South would require jumbo financing. Jumbo financing is defined as any loan over $417,000, also known as a conforming loan. These "jumbo" loans now carry much higher interest rates, more stringent qualifications and larger down payments. Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist of NAR, has stated that the bulk of the potential buyers in this price range remain sidelined and unwilling to buy a home and take out mortgages that carry interest rates higher than the conforming mortgages.

On a more positive note, Atlanta has been recognized as #6 by BisJournals as one of the top 10 cities poised for growth in the next ten years. In another study by HIS Global Insight, an international economics firm, has Atlanta listed as #2 of the top 5 cities predicted to recover first once the economy turns. We have already seen the seeds of this planted by the recent announcements of three major corporations selections of Atlanta as their new headquarters. We all just need to be patient,

Q: How do you ethically combat the unethical agent(s) who bad-mouth you around your own neighborhood and/or community?

A: You publish that stats that prove that person wrong!

It took us a long time to get to this point, but we finally decided to strike back. After months and months -- years, really -- of dealing with negative and slanderous comments by a fellow REALTOR® (yes! A REALTOR®, even!) in our community, we decided that the best way (and the most ethical way) to strike back is with the truth - and the truth lies in the numbers.

So when a real estate agent tells you that he or she sells more homes in your neighborhood, area, or city than anyone else, ask for proof. Ask to see the numbers, because the numbers will tell the story.

Even more importantly:

• When a real estate agent tells you that he or she won't show your home if you don't list with them...
• When a real estate agent speaks negatively to you about another real estate agent while trying to secure you as a client...
• When a real estate agent agrees to list your home at an unrealistic price just to get you to sign the listing paperwork and list with them...

...ask is he or she is a REALTOR®. If they say yes, ask them what the Code of Ethics means to them.

We're not perfect, but we are ethical and that's why we have the track record that we have. If you have any questions about buying or selling a home in Country Club of the South or in the North Metro Atlanta area, please call The Gebhardt Group - we'd love the chance to prove to you that we're the right choice.
