How is the housing market affecting Atlanta sellers?  The Atlanta housing market has done a complete turnaround in just 6 short months.   Last year the Atlanta housing market saw more homes for sale than there was buyers to buy – A BUYER’S MARKET.  My how times have changed.  As of the 3rd Quarter 2012, most price ranges in Atlanta are experiencing a SELLER’S MARKET meaning that the demand for housing exceeds the supply.  This is creating an environment whereby the Sellers are in the drivers seat for the first time in years.  In today’s video I will be sharing some of the Atlanta market statistics from the 3rd quarter 2012 and how they directly impact how homes are being sold today!!!
