Wow that data really paints a picture of what’s going on the the residential realestate market. In my opinion Atlanta did not take part in the extreme real estate boom of a few years ago as Florida, California, and Neveda amoung others did but it is being taken down a similar road as those markets lead the rest of the country down. Hopefully the reduced prices and historically low mortgage rates will lead to an uptick in our Atlanta market activity.
