Our favorite website tool is the Atlanta Market Snapshot. Right above this post on the blue toolbar, just click and fill out a few bits of information and confidentially sent to you as often as you want is the most detailed market analysis tool available in Atlanta today. Many agents feel this is too much information to give customers and clients direct access too but we feel that the true value of an experienced agent is not handing you raw numbers. There are trending graphs and maps that pinpoint the exact transactions as well as a direct link to Zillow, the controversial on line appraisal tool.
However, how long a home was on the market for or even what it sold for is not the whole story. We welcome the opportunity to let our clients have all this information in one easy to access format. If you are visual and like graphs, there are charts, if you want to drill down to the data, there are details of the properties and transactions. By finding and implementing these latest tools for our friends and clients, we can spend more time showing and selling properties, talking with the owners, buyers and agents and getting and creating the “story” behind the statistics. Sometimes things are not as they seem, for instance in today’s market in many high-end and new construction sales we are seeing trades and swaps becoming another “term” to be negotiated as well as “price”. This will never show up on a graph or list of sales.
Terms are very important right now in this very competitive and challenging market. It’s not just the excess inventory that is a seller’s competition, it’s the skill, experience and creative negotiating abilities of the agents handling the competing properties.
I love that we are able to provide our customers and clients with this information in the most effective and timely way possible. Just know that we are a phone call or live chat away for the “story” behind the statistics.
Here to serve you,
