Below is the summary for Greater Metro Atlanta through July 2018. Click here for a more comprehensive market report slide deck.

• The entry-level market has strong demand and very low inventory. Finding the right property is getting harder which is resulting in lower closings for this segment. The luxury market is a buyer’s market with buyers negotiating better pricing and terms.
• Mortgage Rates are rising slowly which will impact affordability. Metro Atlanta continues to be very affordable relative to other metro areas around the country.
• July Pending Contracts were down 1.5% from June and up 6% from the prior year. July Closings were down 8.9% from last month and up 1.8% from the prior year.
• Year-to-Date Pended Sales units were up 4.6% versus the prior year. Year-to-Date Closings were up 2.9% versus the prior year.
• The Average Sales Price for July was $321,000 – down 3.7% from last month and up 6.3% from last year. 2018 is on track to be the highest annual ASP on record.
• Inventory for July was up 4.1% from last month and down 4.8% from last year.
• Overall Months of Supply for July was 2.8 months. Six months is considered normal. Luxury properties took longer with homes above $1 million averaging 9 months and properties over $2 million averaging 35 months to close. The luxury market remains a buyer’s market in many areas.
• The Average List-to-Sale Price Ratio was 97% for all price points. Many properties in high-demand areas are selling above list.
• The latest Case-Shiller Index for Atlanta (7/31/18) was up 1% compared to the previous month. Metro Atlanta Home Values are up 76% from the bottom of March 2012. Increased home values are building equity and getting sellers back into the market.

The Greater Metro Atlanta area is home to thousands of elementary, middle and high schools. Safe Kids USA offers the following Top Back to School Safety Tips:

Reminders for Drivers:

• Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods and school zones.
• Watch for children on and near the road in the morning and after school hours.
• Reduce any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Put down your phone and don’t talk or text while driving.

Reminders for Kids:

• Kids should cross the street with an adult until they are at least 10 years old.
• Never run out into the streets or cross in between parked cars.
• Make sure kids always walk in front of the bus where the driver can see them.

Labor Day is Monday September 3, 2018. Together, we will celebrate the contributions of workers across America. Labor Day has also become the symbolic end of the summer season - although summer officially ends on September 22. In high society, Labor Day is the last day of the year when it is fashionable to wear white or seersucker. 
There is some debate over who first proposed the celebration of Labor Day back in 1882. Some believe it was a gentleman named Matthew Maguire who was serving as the secretary of the Central Labor Union of New York. Others believe it was Peter McGuire of the American Federation of Labor who had seen a similar celebration in Canada. Regardless of which Maguire/ McGuire, we are all happy this popular federal holiday now exists.

Labor Day is also the unofficial start of football season! High school, college and NFL teams will be underway. May your favorite teams play well!
