HAFA is Coming, Rules are Changing

If you have heard about HAFA and are unsure how it may affect you, you can read the very dry text here. I also wrote a recap of the HAFA rules here that might be a little easier. Going forward, you will likely need to attempt a loan modification prior to listing your home as a short sale.

Windward Real Estate Market Update

Windward continues to be one of the most well known and popular neighborhoods on the east side of Georgia 400 in Alpharetta. You can view all homes for sale in Windward along with full demographics information from our other website or you can search all Alpharetta real estate right here on our Alpharetta MLS page. Here is a quick market update:

  • There are currently 61 active listings between $5,000,000 for 1065 Carnoustie Lane and 4320 Harbour Cove Ct  listed for $247,500.
  • There are an additional 12 homes under contract.
  • In the last 60 days of data there have been 16 sales which means there is an average of 8 sales per month. The most expensive sale was $890,000 for a home originally listed at $1,150,000 in the Northshore section. It had been reduced to$997,500 before receiving an acceptable offer.
  • The activity index, a measure of pending to active listings is 16% or 4.5 months. We need to double the activity index to compare it to the absorption rate with means sales volume and inventory appears to be quite steady. In this market, that’s a great thing!

The sales rate combined with the active listings means that there is about  a 9 month supply of homes, but, Windward is tricky….that may or may not be applicable depending on your home (or home of interest if you are a buyer).

All in all this is a pretty good outlook. Windward is something of a reliable neighborhood and has been even through the difficult times we have experienced recently. If it’s time for you to think about listing your home, we would like the opportunity to compete for your business. We feel that our marketing plan can help you make more money and sell your home in less time without the hassle that sometimes come with a real estate listing.

All with our hassle free listing guarantee!

Homes For Sale In Alpharetta – Market Update

It may be a bit early to tell, but there are signs of change in the Alpharetta market and all of Metro Atlanta as a whole. Homes for sale in Alpharetta continue to be more popular than most other areas of Atlanta. That hasn’t changed and there is really a long way left ot go before we see a balanced market because inventories remain extremely high. Having said that though, homes for sale in Alpharetta may be reaching what may later be called the beginning of the end. It will probably be summer of 2010 before we can forget about the fact that the advantage will go to the buyer, but, make no mistake – things are changing.

Take Glen Abbey for example. Glen Abbey is a neighborhood that up until recently was forgotten in favor of new construction homes as buyers flocked to the wes side of 400 and into Milton. A market review of homes for sale in Glen Abbey shows 13 active listings, 4 under contract and six sold in the last 2 months. This is about a 4 month supply of homes – a true sellers market number. It’s hard to say if this will last, but, the same time period one year earlier showed 6 sales as well. Most areas in Atlanta are showing fewer sales this year than last.

Windward is another area we are seeing some definitive pickup in volume. There are 94 active listings right now. In addition to those, there are 25 homes under contract. Again – this is looking at about 8 months of inventory with the future looking activity index. 20 homes have sold in the last 2 months which means that there is an actual absorption rate of around 9.4 months. Lower than at this time last year, lower than Alpharetta as a whole and lower than Metro Atlanta.

What is begininng to happen is that the more popular areas and more specifically the more popular neighborhoods with the best houses are starting to sell. Fast. Faster than last month. Faster than 3 months ago and faster than last year. This is worth talking about a littl ebit at this point, but, we really do need to see it continue some.
