The fall market is almost here, and it looks different than you might expect. ???
A lot of people assume spring is the only time to buy or sell a home. But the fall market in NW Metro Atlanta has its own advantages, and this year those advantages are worth paying attention to.
Here is what we are seeing across all seven cities we serve as we head into autumn:
- Inventory is up across Cobb, Cherokee, Paulding, and Bartow counties. Buyers have more choices than they have had in years.
- Mortgage rates have settled around 6.75% for a 30-year fixed loan. That is close to the historical average, even if it feels high after the pandemic era.
- Fall typically brings a second wave of listings and more motivated sellers.
- Cities like Marietta and Kennesaw still move fast (12 days on market), while Dallas and Cartersville offer more room to negotiate (25 days on market).
We wrote a detailed fall preview covering each city with specific data and honest advice. No hype. No sugarcoating. Just the information you need to make a wise decision for your unique situation.
