Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell?
Strong Seller's Market
With 11.2% appreciation and only 107 days on market, sellers have significant pricing power. Low inventory means less competition and multiple offer scenarios are common.
Best Strategy
List in late winter/early spring before inventory increases. Price competitively to attract multiple offers and maximize sale price.
Competitive But Manageable
While it's a seller's market, inventory is slowly increasing and homes are selling within 3-4 months. Buyers with strong pre-approval and flexibility can still find great properties.
Best Strategy
Get pre-approved, be ready to act quickly, and consider Georgia Dream assistance if you're a first-time buyer. Spring will bring more options but also more competition.
