A Word from 2023 Atlanta REALTORS® President Michael Fischer:
“As expected, sales rebounded this month and provided us with some momentum as we head into what is expected to be an active spring season,” reports Atlanta REALTORS® Association President Michael Fischer. “Average sales prices are now back to Metro Atlanta’s historical appreciation levels reflecting a 4.4% increase over the previous year.”
“We continue to be challenged by extremely low inventory levels and the changes in mortgage interest rates,” says Fischer. “Despite an increase in the number of active listings, our month’s supply, which is the measure of inventory vs the number of homes sold, has been trending lower over the past few months and is now down to 1.7 months.”
“We are hopeful that interest rates will stabilize and that we will possibly see a slight decrease in rate this year based on the Federal Reserve’s statements following their most recent meeting,” stated Fischer.
