Today's topic is new construction and the effects it has on the real estate market!
We've had a very strong sellers market here in metro Atlanta lately. Inventory has been extremely low because there wasn't much new construction from 2009 to 2013. In recent years, however, we've seen a lot of new construction and the Atlanta area market is coming back pretty strong. Here are some of the numbers for Cobb County:
There is a huge difference between the average price point for new construction homes and resale properties. For example, the average sales price for a newly constructed home in Cobb County is $397,000, whereas the average price range for resale properties is significantly lower. We're thinking this influx of quality inventory will effectively balance out the market here in the Atlanta area. These new construction projects will free up the inventory for people in all price ranges, which is always good news for our market.
- 62 homes have been sold in 2015 that were built this year
- There are currently 266 homes built in 2015 active on the market
- This uptick in new construction is balancing out the Atlanta area
