HOW’S THE MARKET?

“In the absence of trustworthy, up-to-date information, real estate decisions are increasingly being driven by fear, uncertainty, and doubt. These decisions can be hugely consequential for consumers and businesses,” says Jason Lewris, Cofounder and Chief Data officer at Parci.  If you are selling or buying property in North Atlanta, you need this trustworthy, up-to-date information so you can buy or sell with confidence.  Our job is to provide worthwhile research for our clients.  Enjoy!
