About Atlanta's East Atlanta

For those homeowners who aren't able to refinance because they owe more than their home is currently work, this is going to be a great opportunity for you to refinance with little to no cost and no appraisal. The eligibility criteria is fairly straightforward, but this video does a fantastic job of explaining the program.

The video is over 30 minutes long, but if you just want a quick cheat sheet, please email me at Kerry@nestatlanta.com and I'll send you a 2-page overview of the program.

Single Family Homes Sold in East Atlanta

The number of single family homes sold in 2011 was up slightly from 2010, but the average sales price did take a beating, dropping almost 17% from the previous year.

ast Based on our research and experience, it appears that the drop was due to a higher number of "under $100K" foreclosure sales, many located on the outskirts of East Atlanta, an increase in the # of short sales and a small decline in the overall home values in the area.

One interesting item to note is that the list price to sales price ratio remained strong at 95%. For example, a $200,000 home would sell (on average) for 95% of the listing price or $190,000.

Days on Market

(How long does is take to sell a home in East Atlanta?)

Homes took almost 12% longer to sell in 2011, most likely due to the fact that sellers were trying to adjust to the declining home values.

No matter what market we are in, it is always so important to price your home correctly the first time. If your home is priced according to the current market value, not only is it going to sell quickly, previous research tells us that is it going to sell for significantly MORE than if you had it on the market for 3, 4 or 6 months.

Questions? If you would like to better understand the current market value of your East Atlanta home and/or get the latest real estate market statistics, please don't hesitate to call us at 404.721.3001. We would be happy to help!

Meet the Nest Atlanta Real Estate Group

Now that Christmas is over, most of us will be taking down our Christmas trees in the next week or so.

I personally cheated this year and purchased a "faux" tree, but for those of you purists with a live Christmas tree, please consider recycling at one of the many drop off locations in Metro Atlanta.

Through early January (most are thru January 7th), organizations and stores from all across metro Atlanta will be accepting live Christmas trees, including the most popular "One for the Chipper" program.

So instead of your beautiful tree ending up in a landfill - or rolling down your street! -- use this as a chance to reduce, reuse and recycle! Several recycling centers are also offering a free sapling, while supplies last.

GEORGIA'S "BRING ONE FOR THE CHIPPER" LOCATIONS NEAR YOU:

- Grant Park

- Agnes Scott College

- Multiple Home Depot locations around Metro Atlanta

For a Christmas tree drop off / recycling center in your zip code, use the search tool at Keep Georgia Beautiful
