Welcome to Atlanta Real Estate
The Atlanta real estate market remains very balanced compared with other real estate markets around the country.
There are several reasons why the market remained resilient. First, the population in Metro Atlanta continues to
grow at the fastest rate of any major metropolitan area in the United States. With the continued increase in
population, the need for housing increases and the supply of homes has not outpaced the number of buyers.
The second reason for the stable real estate market is directly related to value. Compared with other cities
with a population near that found in Atlanta, the amount of home you can by is quite high. In fact, the population
of Metro Atlanta is in the top twenty of all cities in the United States and the cost of homes in the Atlanta
real estate market ranks about 50th. The third reason Atlanta real estate is still a good value is that while
many real estate markets around the country realized a much larger increase in value than is historically found,
Atlanta real estate continued to appreciate at a much more sustainable rate. This has left Atlanta in the very
enviable position of apparent value for people relocating and for business owners to find a new market where
homeowners are not inundated with debt from overvalued homes.
