As stated in this article by Norada Real Estate Investments, Home prices were through the roof in 2020. Additionally they state that the pace of appreciation seems to continue in 2021. March’s sales were 32.5% higher than in February. And it shows it to be a positive sign. And even though buyers are facing some real challenges with low inventory levels. Low interest rates make for better buying power.

2021 will be defined by low interest rates and low inventory, a perfect storm that will continue to push home prices higher.AS STATED BY NORADA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS, 2021

It goes on to say that “2021 will be defined by low interest rates and low inventory, a perfect storm that will continue to push home prices higher.” With low supply and high demand in the wake of many factors surrounding the 2020 pandemic and shift in our collective live/work/play habits, buyers have more buying power. This fact, fueled by low interest rates, help in home prices continuing to rise. Additionally, people are looking for more comfy nests to call home.

Realtor.com’s April 2021 report shows Atlanta is a seller’s real estate market.AS STATED BY NORADA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS, 2021

On The Rise:

Continued talk and speculations point to home prices continuing to rise in 2021 adding to the higher price of homes for sale in Atlanta and low supply. Norada goes on to say, “Listing Prices: Realtor.com’s April 2021 report shows Atlanta is a seller’s real estate market, which means that more people are looking to buy than there are homes available. Home prices have been surging largely because of limited supply and fierce competition for available homes. The median list price of homes in Atlanta, GA was $379,900, trending up 16.9% year-over-year while the median sale price was $345,500.

It’s Unanimous :

Atlanta Realtors states in that in April “residential sales were at 6,896, an increase of 28.2% from the previous year”. They also back up the supply and demand factors that fuel the current state of the housing market in Atlanta. Atlanta REALTORS® President Cynthia Lippert says “Sales are continuing to remain strong with an impressive 28% increase over 2020.”

The Good News :

What’s the good news? The good news is that regardless of whether you’re buying or selling… products are moving. But if you’re buying you must be ready willing and able. Think fast, move fast and know what you want.

See below for a snippet of this article I found at Atlanta.net

With the North Georgia mountains just hours from the heart of Atlanta, there’s no shortage of monumentally scenic views for city dwellers. We’re talking epic, memorable sights at dizzying heights, as little as 20 minutes away from downtown Atlanta, and all within a 3-hour drive of the city.

Read the full article Atlanta.net below!

1. Brasstown Bald

Drive time from Atlanta: Two hours

Difficulty rating: Options from easy to challenging available

Peak heights meet perfect placement at Brasstown Bald, located in the Chattahoochee National Forest where Georgia and North Carolina meet. From its 5,000-foot elevation — the highest mountain summit in the Peach State — you’ll get a spectacular panoramic view of the rolling, lush Appalachian Mountains. On clear days, you can even spot the Atlanta skyline. The seasonal changes of fall and winter offer the most striking pastiche of colors from its lofty lookout, but be sure to take a jacket — temps drop 10 to 20 degrees from start to gorgeous finale.

Multiple trails to the summit add to the appeal of Brasstown Bald. For novice hikers, its eponymous paved path, clocking in at just over a mile and leading directly to the observation tower, is an obvious plus. If you’re looking for a more advanced trek, you’ll find plenty challenging options — in particular, the 11-mile Arkaquah Trail, with its arduous up-and-down path featuring a total elevation gain of 2,500 feet.

The trail rises out of the base-level parking area and follows a ridge to Track Rock Gap. You’ll descend dizzying switchbacks as you continue to the peak of Chimneytop Mountain, then onward to Low Gap, the 2.6-mile marker. Rhododendron flowers coat the landscape for part of the journey, while fern and moss-covered rock outcrops reign as you ascend to a summit of 3,650 feet — below, the view is picturesque pastoral bliss. Take a moment here, because the next stretch is a steep descent of 1,375 feet in just 1.5 miles.

2. Blood Mountain

Drive time from Atlanta: Two hours

Difficulty rating: Moderate to challenging

Climbing up and back the Appalachian Trail’s highest mountain summit offers multiple jaw-dropping views along the 4.3-mile (round-trip) route. Start at the Byron Reece Trailhead near Neels Gap in Blairsville, just over two hours from Atlanta. There you’ll begin a constant, strenuous ascent that tests your endurance but features multiple rewards throughout. You’ll squeeze through boulder-lined switchbacks and outcrops carpeted with lichen. The forest thickens, blanketing the landscape with a patchwork of red, green and yellow. You hit the summit at 2.15 miles, and the 1,400-feet ascent has earned you a stunning view of from the pedestal of a massive outcrop.

You’ll cross a creek bed and march up stone stairs, hitting 400 feet at Flatrock Gap. A colorful forest canopy, especially vivid in the fall, emerges as you reach the first gorgeous vista.

3. Stone Mountain

Drive time from Atlanta: 30 minutes

Difficulty rating: Easy to Moderate

The walk-up trail to the top of Georgia’s famous massive monadnock is just a mile long and relatively easy, making it a popular trek for adventurers of all skill levels. Stone Mountain Park is located only 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. The convenient option to Skyride your weary feet back down — or up, even — means almost anyone is capable of making the two-mile round trip. And while seasoned hikers won’t find so many thrills on the main route, taking the Cherokee Trail upon departing the summit will add about five miles to your journey, plus another city view and an idyllic, less-traveled forest area complete with the serenity of a calm creek.

Still, anyone who stands atop the summit will find themselves entirely flabbergasted by the impressive long-range view from 1,686 feet. On a clear day, you can see 60 miles in all directions. You’ll see Stone Mountain Lake to the east and the city skyline in the far distance. In the fall, the thick clusters of rounded treetops become the ultimate palette of the season’s vibrant hues. (Pro tip: Sunrise and sunset offer exceptionally amazing backdrops, and crowds are considerably slimmer at these hours.)

4. Arabia Mountain

Drive time from Atlanta: 25 minutes

Difficulty rating: Moderate

What makes the Arabia Mountain Top Trail exceptional is not its scenic range — though it certainly seems to stretch for miles — but rather the uniquely magical feel of the rocky summit itself. Even better, this moon-like and otherworldly sight is only about a half an hour’s drive from Atlanta. The summit floor is striking, textured with a crimson-red plant seemingly floating atop numerous water-filled craters. At 1.3 miles round trip, it’s a quick shot up. For the most exemplary of Arabia Mountain experiences, venture out a day after rainfall, when clearer skies offer unobstructed views — an incredible feature in its own right — and the surreal, eye-catching craters remain full and mirror-like.

5. Cloudland Canyon

Drive time from Atlanta: Two hours

Difficulty rating: Moderate

Cloudland Canyon State Park sits on the edge of Lookout Mountain and boasts multiple swoon-worthy trails, many of them boosted by close-ups of the beautiful waterfalls within. The best views are found above Cloudland Canyon, and the longest route — the 4.8-mile West Rim Loop — unlocks the most incredible of vistas.

Take the Waterfalls Trail for a quarter-mile to hop on, journeying into the thick of the canyon southbound until you cross a creek by wooden bridge. Elevation jumps as you take sharp turns past flowery stretches and over the obstacle of a boulder-filled floor and through a forested tract. At .6 miles, there’s a cave, marking the grand finale-push to the summit, where the panorama presents a stunning view of the steep canyon, the waterfalls raging below and a million-dollar display of the brilliant fall colors atop mountains stretching for miles.

6. Springer Mountain

Drive time from Atlanta: Two hours

Difficulty rating: Moderate to challenging

Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, Springer Mountain reaches 3,780 feet at the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The main trail, named for the mountain, is a moderately challenging two-mile jaunt. Wildflowers and a forest of hardwoods color the wide curve upward, and the path gets rockier at greater heights. The valley below is a blend of bright earthy shades during the fall, adding extra oomph to the remarkable sight of the distant mountain landscape. The view offers a sublime display of nature’s prowess — calm and soft, but powerful and formidable, too. Listen closely and you might hear the pounding rush of the adjacent Amicalola Falls.

7. Rabun Bald

Drive time from Atlanta: Two hours, 15 minutes

Difficulty rating: Easy to moderate

The state’s second-highest peak showcases the rolling southern Appalachian Mountains from its summit. Rabun Bald is only about 100 feet shy of the state’s highest peak, Brasstown Bald, but it has far fewer visitors. That might be because the best direct-to-summit path, the Bartram Trail, is tucked inside the Rabun County neighborhood of Sky Valley, and markers aren’t too visible on its dirt-and-gravel path. Hiking to the summit feels a bit like you’re in on a secret.

The 3-mile round trip isn’t physically demanding. Rocky patches and a few switchbacks aside, it’s a simple trek up — you’ll hit the summit at 1.5 miles. There, vibrant wildflowers and blue-green rhododendron dot the floor, and in some spots, you’ll even find a ground cover of blueberries. At nearly 5,000 feet high, the view is outstanding. A wooden observation platform offers a 360-degree view of Georgia and North Carolina that includes a historic fire tower, seemingly endless swaths of trees and faraway mountains for miles.

Are you in the Midtown Atlanta/Virginia Highlands area and in need of some shop therapy? Don’t skip the Ponce City Market located in Northeast Atlanta on Ponce DeLeon Ave.

PONCE CITY MARKET breathes new life into the historic Sears, Roebuck & Co. building in Atlanta. The classic structure, which is the area’s largest adaptive reuse project, has been reinvented as a vibrant community hub housing the Central Food Hall, various shops, flats and offices, all while pointing back to the roots of its inception. The market infuses vigor and excitement into this historically-significant structure, located in one of Atlanta’s most cherished neighborhoods.

Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge has four groups of trails within it, including the trail leading up to the top of the waterfall. The park has a lodge that serves as a starting point of Appalachian Trail hikers. The park also checks in guests for a nearby facility called the Len Foote Hike Inn, a backcountry eco-friendly inn that is 5 miles from the park, one mile from the Appalachian Approach trail and 4.4 miles from Springer Mountain.

In-town living has so much to offer but once in a while you might enjoy taking the day for a short drive to get out of the city. I’ve done this and it’s a great time. Whether you’re bringing guests from out of town or the kids or maybe just you and the dog, it’s well worth the time. The advantage of living in-town is you have all that the Metro-Atlanta area has to offer by way of parks, shops and restaurants and then… hop on the highway and whisk your way out of town for the day.

For Amicalola Falls from Midtown Atlanta, just head up Georgia 400 and in an hour and half you’re enjoying the serenity and beauty of the North Georgia Mountains. If you’ve chosen, or plan to choose any of the many of Metro Atlanta’s hot spots like Smyrna, Marietta, East Cobb or the Perimeter, you’re even closer.

Check it out at https://www.amicalolafallslodge.com. You have nothing to loose except stress and boredom. Enjoy!

As you drive through Midtown Atlanta you’ll notice hi-rises blossoming all over. Just compared to a few short years ago you’ll notice a considerable amount of growth.

The big question on everyone’s minds is whether or not now is a a good time to buy or not. Clark Howard says it best. Check out his article for the full details. But as far as Atlanta houses for sale and if you should buy now or not, really you’re the only one that knows that answer.

“A home is a place to live. The real investment you’re making is in yourself and in your family. You’re creating a sense of permanence, especially if you have kids. Instead of moving from place to place, your kids have stability.”CLARK HOWARD

I know that’s not much information, but as Clark Howard says, interest rates are indeed low, so if you were thinking about buying, selling, moving etc. then go ahead. But many believe that you shouldn’t run out and buy just because you think now is the right time to do so.

By all accounts Atlanta’s housing market is strong, but buying a house right now can be tough. You have to be ready and be competitive in pricing and making offers. When doing so you need the right person behind you. When looking for someone you want to find a real estate agent that will look out for your best interest. You also want to find someone who will be honest with you and tell you what you need to know not just what they think you want to hear.
