In the Athens area, the buyers purchasing in the 100-200k range are driving the market, due in part to incredibly low interest rates and the 8000.00 tax credit.

Posted in buyers, Joe's Posts, real estate in the media, sellers on November 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This article was in the most recent Flagpole, and it concerns what we are experiencing here in ATH compared to other areas of the nation. In one area of the article, it states as opinion that home prices haven’t so much fallen as remained flat in ATH. I disagree with this somewhat broad-stroke statement, but [...]

Posted in buyers, Joe's Posts, sellers on October 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I was contacted recently by our local paper about an article on foreclosures in Athens, GA and the general state of the market right now.
