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.
