Days on Market

(How long are homes on the market in Grant Park?)

The time it takes to sell a home in Grant Park has fluctuated almost every month, but the average time is ranging from 65 to 80 days.

Average Time to Sell	Longest Sale	Shortest Sale
76 days	248 days	16 days

If you are thinking about selling your Grant Park home and would like to make sure you are selling in 16 days (not 248!), to follow are a few recommendations:

• Interview three listing agents and ask that they recommend a listing price
• Get a 3^rd party appraisal
• Hire a real estate agent that you think will best market your home and have them do a “pricing party” or “sneak preview” caravan with local agents prior to listing your home. The chances are that a local realtor is going to be the one bringing a buyer to your home, so if they think your home is priced fairly (and they have had input), you are sure to get quite a few buyers through your front door the moment your home is listed.

If you have any questions about the current Grant Park real estate market and/or are curious about the value of your home, please call me anytime at 404.432.1844. I would be honored to assist you!

Grant Park Atlanta Homes for Sale | Grant Park Atlanta Real Estate Market

One of Atlanta's oldest neighborhoods, Grant Park is a nationally recognized historic district and features 130+ acres of green space, shops, recreational area, restaurants, ZooAtlanta and some of the finest historic homes in Atlanta. Victorian era homes, Craftsman bungalows, and small cottages line the streets and are sure to "wow" you with their personality and charm!

Grant Park (zip code 30312) is also in a prime "intown" location - just minutes from the interstate (I-20), Downtown Atlanta, and other popular neighborhoods like Cabbagetown, Glenwood Park and the East Atlanta Village.

SO.... HOW'S THE MARKET?

Like many of the intown Atlanta neighborhoods with a wide range of home values, the home sales statistics often appear to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, varying dramatically from quarter to quarter.

To follow is a quick overview....

COMPARING 3Q OF 2011 TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR

GRANT PARK ATLANTA HOME SALES

The good news is that the number of homes sold dramatically increased last quarter (July - September, 2011). Based on my personal experience, it seems that there were quite a few more buyers shopping for homes in 3Q compared to the previous year.

GRANT PARK HOME VALUES

The numbers in the chart above may appear to be a bit shocking, but this year there were several foreclosures and short sales that sold below $100K. In the previous year, there were more high dollar listings for sale and 50% of those listings sold for over $300K.

LISTING PRICES VERSUS FINAL SALES PRICE

Based on the 3Q 2011 data, it reveals that Grant Park home sellers are pricing their home correctly the first time -- and homes are selling faster (86 vs 114 days) and for a higher percentage (95.1% vs 97%) of the list price.

QUESTIONS? THOUGHTS?

If you have any questions about the value of your Grant Park home or the current market, we urge you to contact a local realtor. The real estate market can vary from quarter to quarter (and month to month), so it is important that you have access to the latest information before deciding to buy or sell your home.

You can call us day or night at 404.432.1844.

2860 Alston Drive, Atlanta 30317

East Lake Atlanta Neighborhood

FASTEST SALE (EVER) - The sellers staged this home perfectly, we did a big "coming soon" campaign prior to listing the home and.... we had a FULL PRICE OFFER after only 23 HOURS on the market!

2108 Wisteria Way, Atlanta 30317

Kirkwood Neighborhood

Received MULTIPLE OFFERS and sold for FULL PRICE! This classic Craftsman style home in the heart of historic Kirkwood was on the market for several months, but as soon as we found the "magic" price, we immediately received two offers and the home sold for the full listing price of $335K.

2353 Hunting Valley Drive, Decatur 30033

Medlock Park / University Heights

UNDER CONTRACT IN 29 DAYS! This home was in a great neighborhood, but we had a few challenges -- there were more than 24 similarly priced homes for sale nearby and this home was in a flood zone. We put our heads together and were able to come up with a plan (including coming soon marketing, incentives, and more). After only 29 DAYS we were officially under contract and the sellers were thrilled (and quite relieved!).

Berne Street - Atlanta, 30312

Grant Park Atlanta neighborhood

SOLD FOR FULL PRICE - Kerry Lucasse was the 3rd listing agent on this home and was determined to get it sold! After two "low ball" offers, we found a buyer who not only made a fair offer, they paid full price for this charming Grant Park bungalow.

4171 Waterloo, Tucker GA

MULTIPLE OFFERS, SOLD IN 14 DAYS FOR 98% OF LIST PRICE! The owners of this home did everything perfectly! They cleaned every inch of their home, painted, added granite countertops, de-cluttered closets, and hired one of the best home stagers in Atlanta, Jeanne Westmoreland. In an area with only 1 home in 20 selling each month, we were able to get multiple offers in just two weeks.

599 Oakland Ave, Atlanta 30312

Grant Park Atlanta

SOLD FOR 95.6% OF LISTING PRICE - This stunning Victorian Bungalow was only steps from Grant Park and was one of our most popular listings. The home sold for $238,800 in less than 3 months.
