 The Atlanta area is still suffering from a general lack of inventory. Obviously, this makes it a seller's market, as buyers don't have the leverage to get great deals. We're seeing lots of multiple offer situations, and often homes are selling well above list price.

Another trend we've seen lately is an increased use of the escalation clause, which states a person is willing to pay $3,000 more than the highest offer the seller has received. 

Interest rates are as low as 3.25% for those with great credit, but the Fed has announced that rates will certainly rise soon, without a doubt by the end of the year. Adjustable rate mortgages are as low as 2.4% right now, if that's something that would better fit the needs of your family. You can't beat these rates! 

Conditions right now are almost too good to be true, but they're not going to last much longer. Now is the time to buy, plain and simple. Give us a call if you want to work with highly experienced real estate experts. We would love to help you take advantage of these fantastic conditions!

Spring is right around the corner, and I know many of you are planning to put your home on the market in the near future. Today, I want to share a few tips to help make your home sale a success! 

• First impressions are important: Buyers are paying very close attention to how a home looks when they drive by. There are many cheap and easy ways to add curb appeal, such as adding a fresh coat of paint or new molding around the front door. 
• Consider adding shutters: Choose a color that will make your home pop, and accent them with window boxes full of flowers. This is a simple project that can really break up the monotony of a broad exterior.
• Maintain your lawn: This is another great way to add curb appeal to your home. Cut the grass regularly, and if your lawn looks parched, you can purchase some inexpensive green lawn spray paint specifically formulated for grass. It's a terrific way to get a luscious lawn in a short amount of time. 

For more great tips on how you can get your home ready for the market, give me a call or shoot me a quick email. Or, if you would like a free report I put together, called "27 Quick & Easy Fix Ups to Sell Your Home Fast and for Top Dollar," visit www.SoldFastAndForTopDollar.com. 

The key is to make your home a blank canvas when showing it, so visitors can imagine their families living there. Decluttering and depersonalizing can help with this - you can learn more details about the process by calling me at (404) 564-7272 or emailing me at Zac@Zac.biz. I look forward to helping you soon!

Today I'm going to be filling you in on what to expect from Atlanta's housing market in the next few months. Like many other markets, Atlanta experiences a period of inactivity during the winter. 

However, if you're interested in selling your home during the spring, you'd better start preparing for the process now. I invite you to visit my website (www.soldfastandfortopdollar.com) where I can provide you with many different pointers on how to get your home ready for sale. 

On the flip-side, if you're planning on purchasing a home, I do expect inventory to pick up in Atlanta, so there will be plenty to choose from. If you want some extra pointers on how to prepare for a home purchase, you can visit www.ATLbuyertraps.com. We also have weekly home buyer seminars, where we go through the whole process, from the initial consultation all the way up to closing. There is no cost or obligation to attend, but we highly recommend it if you're looking to make the most out of your real estate transaction. These are hosted in our office in the Druid Hills area. 

As always, if you're interested in buying or selling, please don't hesitate to contact my team. We would be very happy to serve you!
