Our Winter Has Been Cold But Home Sales HOT

As we all know (and, as we continue to defrost!), here in Atlanta this winter has been a cold one. But that doesn’t look to have stopped home buyer’s from getting out and purchasing their next home. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, January’s number was well above expectations and nearly 10 percent above December’s rate. From the numbers, it appears this was the case across the country, with ‘new-home’ sales up in January in the South, West and Northeast.

In the video below, Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia.com and Joel Kurtzman, author of “Unleashing the Second American Century,” review whether it is better to buy or rent in the current housing market on Bloomberg Television’s “Bloomberg Surveillance.”

At The Anderson Group, we believe it is an excellent time to sell you current home and make the move to your next dream home. Or, if you are considering purchasing a second home or investment property, to act now! Inventory is STILL low in Atlanta so home buyers are chomping at the bit to discover and find the home they are looking for. It could be YOURS.
