The Metro Atlanta real estate market is off to a mixed start in 2017. Pendings show strong momentum. Closings are slightly up. Inventory has dropped making it harder to find the right property for some buyers. Here is the summary for Metro Atlanta through January 2017.
- Pended sales for January 2017 were up 30% from last month and up 14.2% from last January. Closings were down 33.9% from last month and up 2.2% from last January.
- The average sales price for January was $266,000 - down 5% from last month and up 4.3% from last year. The annual ASP for 2016 beat the record posted back in 2006.
- The listed inventory for January was down 6.4% from last month and down 5.4% from last January. But the limited availability of desirable properties is still driving multiple offers and very quick sales in select areas.
- Overall months of supply for January was 4.7 months. Six months is considered normal. Luxury properties are taking longer with homes above $1 million averaging 19.6 months and properties over $2 million averaging 82 months to close.
- The latest Case-Shiller Index for Atlanta (1/30/17) was essentially flat (+.03%) compared to the previous month. Metro Atlanta home values are up 61% from the recent bottom of March 2012 and up 8.06% from the average index last year. Increased homes values are building positive equity and getting some sellers back into the market.
