I closed a short sale transaction last week in Alpharetta last week and my Buyers got a great deal on a home that sold for $382K in 2006 and my Buyers paid a net of $216K - they are very pleased. It needs some cosmetic work like paint and carpet as well as work done on the Furnace but it looks like a great value.
My Buyer wrote this review after working with me: "I found John on the internet and he has been a pleasure to work with. John is a professional and knowledgeable realtor who was dedicated to making our transition to Atlanta the best it could be. After extensive looking, we decided to put an offer on a short sale. John took the time to answer our questions and helped to guide us through the process. A mere 8 weeks after our initial offer, we are in our beautiful new home. I highly recommend working with John Foster"

At the end of December there was a six month supply of homes for sale in Cumming. That amount of inventory is a market in equilibrium - it will be interesting to watch over the next 3 months as the inventory level rises. I have two homes I am getting ready to list. As long as sales increase the anticipated 4-5% and the amount of foreclosures on the market does not increase significantly I think 2012 will be a good year.

In looking at the Cumming Real Estate Stats - here are a few items that jump out at me. First, note I am looking at all of Forsyth County Data:
From the stats it looks like on average home owners go through an average of two price adjustments before getting their home priced right. What happens if they do not get their homes priced right - they expire and there were a lot of expired listings. 2,595 homes sold in Cumming (Forsyth County) in 2011 - if you need to sale make sure you talk to John Foster with Remax All properties at 770 722-7010. I know the Cumming market and will be direct and honest with you so you can make the best decision for you and your family based on straight answers.

I am boxing up last years files and ran accross a listing appointment I went on in June. During my listing presentation the Seller said they were going to list with me once they did some work on the home. I was surprised when the next week their home was listed with a different agent. I called the seller and asked (very nicely) why they listed with that agent. They said he told them he could get them more money than I said I could get them. I asked them if he had different comps than me and the seller said no, but the other listing agent knew he could get more than the $410K to 415K I had told them I thought their home would sell for. They paid $477K for the home. The husband was starting work in Utah and the wife really wanted the home sold quickly but even with that they listed the home at a much higher price. I just looked up what the home sold for and it sold on 12/22 for $405K. If that seller had listed with me their home would have sold for a min. 5K more (if not 10K) and it would have sold much quicker.
When you sell a home the value of the home is not dependent on what you paid for it, what you are paying for your next home nor how much "you have to get out of it". Your home will sell for the market value and the market value goes down the longer the home sits on the market because it becomes a "stale" listing after sitting on the market. When selecting a Realtor to list your home do not select them based on what they think they can get you for your home. Select a professional agent that has comps to support their price, one that is honest, one that is an effective negotiator and one that knows your market.
