How’s The Market?

Are you curious as to what the real estate market is looking like both nationally and here in the North Atlanta area? Although the national numbers are interesting, they do not capture what is happening in the local market where we have “A Tale of 7 Cities.” This market is very confusing and has many moving parts that all start with the letter “I”: interest rates, inventory, and inflation.
