Atlanta GA New Homes - Atlanta Communities

Housing markets have cooled slightly, but demand hasn’t disappeared, and in many places remains strong largely due to the shortage of homes on the market. It’s typical to see a seasonal increase in home showings in January as buyers get ready for the spring market, but a larger increase than any January before after last year’s rapid cooldown is significant. Mortgage rate activity this spring will play a big role in sales activity, but January’s home showings are a positive sign that buyers are getting back out there

SNELLVILLE - Many people are reaching the point in their lives when they need to decide where they want to live when they retire. If you’re a homeowner approaching this stage, you have several options to explore. Here are two options: move into a multigenerational home with loved ones, or stay in your current house. Multigenerational living is rising in popularity, but it isn’t an option for everyone. And staying put may fit fewer and fewer of your needs. There’s a third option though, and for some, it’s the best one: downsizing. When you sell your house and purchase a smaller one, it’s known as downsizing. Sometimes smaller homes are more suited to your changing needs, and moving means you can also land in your ideal location.

A key part of why downsizing is still cost effective today, even when mortgage rates are higher than they were a year ago, is the record-high level of equity homeowners have. Leveraging your equity when you downsize can lower or maybe even eliminate the mortgage payment on your next home.

POWDER SPRINGS - While there are more houses for sale right now than there were at this time last year, there’s still a historically low number of homes available on the market. One reason for that is years of underbuilding—meaning there haven’t been enough new homes built to keep up with demand.

According to Ksenia Potapov, Economist at First American, “A one percentage-point decline in mortgage rates has the same impact on affordability as an 11 percent decline in house prices.”

CANTON - The biggest challenge in the housing market right now, and likely for years to come, is how few homes there are for sale compared to the number of people who want to buy. That’s why this is a great time to do so. Your house would be welcome in a market that has fewer homes for sale than it did in the years leading up to the pandemic. Read more at KeepingCurrentMatters.com. According to the latest Monthly Housing Market Trends Report from realtor.com: “There were 65.5% more homes for sale in January compared to the same time in 2022. This means that there were 248,000 more homes available to buy this past month compared to one year ago. While the number of homes for sale is increasing, it is still 43.2% lower than it was before the pandemic in 2017 to 2019. This means that there are still fewer homes available to buy on a typical day than there were a few years ago.”

If you’re planning to buy a home this year, one of the first steps on your journey is getting pre-approved. Especially in today’s market when mortgage rates are higher than they were just a few months ago, getting a mortgage pre-approval can be a game changer. Here’s why.

To better understand why pre-approval is key, it’s important to know what pre-approval is. The Mortgage Reports explains it like this:

“When you’re ready to take the leap into homeownership, your first step is mortgage preapproval. . . . A mortgage preapproval is when a lender determines you’re qualified for a home loan. Your preapproval letter shows the maximum loan amount you’re approved for (your home buying budget), as well as the specific interest rate and loan term you can expect.”

ATLANTA - In November 2022, David Weekley Homes’ Atlanta division requested the donation of canned and non-perishable items at five of its model homes in communities throughout Metro Atlanta.

Each division has a CARE team, tasked with seeking out opportunities to give back to the communities they serve. For its Atlanta division, those efforts often include collaborations with HomeAid Atlanta - a vital force in creating safe and dignified housing and programmatic facilities for those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

For those Atlantans who were unable to participate in this year’s Giving Thanks, Giving Back Thanksgiving Drive, David Weekley Homes’ Atlanta Division insists that it’s never too late to help neighbors in need.

MARIETTA - Traton Homes recently unveiled new decorated model homes in two of its Cobb County townhome communities. One model home is located at Haven at Stanley in Kennesaw, while the other is located at High Parc at Smyrna in Smyrna.

The model home at Haven at Stanley showcases the Quinn floor plan, a two-story townhome with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The spacious 2,300-square-foot open layout features an owner’s suite on the main floor, which is rarely found in townhomes. In addition, the main floor features a stylish kitchen with large island, dining area, family room, powder room and laundry room. The upstairs level of the Quinn model includes a large loft, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. This home also features a two-car garage and covered rear patio.

The new model at High Parc at Smyrna features the Kincade plan and includes three levels of living space with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The terrace level features a home office that can also serve as a third bedroom, and a full bathroom. The open main level includes an impressive kitchen with island, a dining area and a family room. Off the family room is an exit onto the spacious covered deck. A large owner’s suite highlights the upper level that includes a large walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom. Also on the upper level is a second bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a laundry room.

The new model homes are open daily for tours.

During periods of inflation, buying a home can offer a way to stabilize housing costs for decades to come.Today’s housing market looks a lot different than it did when the year started, with buyers and sellers adjusting to the twin realities of high inflation and spiking mortgage interest rates.

There are signs the tide has turned. Zillow research found that ballooning mortgage costs and rising home prices have begun to cool buyer demand for homes. As a result, more sellers are cutting their prices and homes are taking longer to sell. The number of homes buyers can choose from is rising quickly from the historic lows of February.

Whether current conditions make it a good time for you to buy or sell depends on your personal circumstances. But to help you answer that question and others, we turned to Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker, who offers some big-picture takeaways that can help you weigh your choices as you move forward.

If you need to move for a job or changing family needs or just to start a new chapter, ask yourself if you can afford the home you’re looking at with today’s mortgage rates and if you will love living there for several years,’’ Tucker says. “Those are the most important things to establish. In many ways, the movement of prices and interest rates in the years ahead will be irrelevant if you’re happy in your home.”

PEACHTREE CORNERS - Homebuyers fleeing crowded urban life during the pandemic found reprieve in Atlanta’s suburbs, and are delving into many alternative neighborhood options. The Providence Group of Georgia, a premier Atlanta homebuilder and developer, and its joint venture partner East Jones Bridge River Holdings, LLC has put a whole new spin on this type of community with their master-planned community called Waterside. Situated along the shores of the Chattahoochee River, the vision of Waterside is to provide multiple housing options that promote inter-generational living, setting the standard for those looking for a true age-in-place community.

Waterside’s initial phase of development focused on single-family detached homes, and two-story front entry townhomes and three-story rear-entry townhomes. Now the gated community has their unique one, two, and three, bedroom condos with private garages.

Waterside offers an amenity rich, low maintenance lifestyle along the shores of the Chattahoochee River. A future phase of the Waterside community is planned to include independent living, assisted living and memory care facilities for owners 55 and older.

The ideal time to refinance is based on your own circumstances. A good time to refinance is when you can qualify for a low enough interest rate to save money over the life of your loan, even after the cost of refinancing. If you can reduce your interest rate by a half of one percent or more, then it is likely worth significant savings if you plan to keep your home. Another good time to refinance is when you’ve amassed enough equity to drop PMI, saving you cash each month.

A rate-and-term refinance allows you to take out a new loan with a different interest rate and term, but for the same total loan amount.

A cash-out refinance allows you to withdraw cash from the total equity in your home by increasing the loan amount for your new loan. Monthly payments typically increase with a cash-out refinance.

A cash-in refinance allows you to pay a lump sum toward home equity, reducing the remaining loan amount. Cash-in refinances often entail borrowers contributing tens of thousands of dollars to lower the amount they will borrow under the new loan.

Zillow offers 4 Reasons to Refinance Your Mortgage

1. Get a lower interest rate. This can save you thousands over the life of the loan,

2. Switch your mortgage type. Switch from a 30-year fixed rate to a 15-year fixed rate to take advantage of a lower interest rate and pay off your mortgage faster.

3.Get Money for Home Improvements.

4.Build Equity Faster.Depending on your current interest rate, you may be able to maintain or reduce your monthly payment while paying the loan down faster.

The housing market is still hot for sellers. This is an opportune time to use your new found equity to move up to the active-adult community that you will love! If you own a home, your net worth likely just got a big boost thanks to rising home equity. Equity is the current value of your home minus what you owe on the loan. And today, based on recent home price appreciation, you’re building that equity far faster than you may expect – here’s how it works.

Because there’s an ongoing imbalance between the number of homes available for sale and the number of buyers looking to make a purchase, home prices are on the rise. That means your home is worth more in today’s market because it’s in high demand. Basically, because your home value has likely climbed so much, your equity has increased too. According to the latest Homeowner Equity Insights from CoreLogic, the average homeowner’s equity has grown by $64,000 over the last 12 months. Read full article on KeepingCurrentMatters.com.

ATLANTA - MarketNsight released May numbers for Atlanta and the Southeast at MarketWatch Atlanta. Total pending sales went negative year over year in April but improved in May, and Atlanta was only down 2%. Most shockingly, home closings at $300,000 and above are up 25% in May year over year.

There is currently 0.6 months of supply at $300,000 and below in metro Atlanta. This is not a new trend, there was very little supply in 2021 at this price point as well. High-end homes took a massive hit when the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic started, but price points above $300,000 have more than recovered. Home sales have not been deterred by the stock market or rising interest rates. “If we had inventory available under $300,000, we would be up huge,” Hunt said.

MarketNsight data shows that the war on homes at $300,000 and below is not unique to Atlanta. There are massive shortages at this price point in Augusta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Raleigh, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida as well. “This is going on everywhere,” Hunt said. “It is effectively the extinction of the entry-level home.”

Hunt’s forecast for the rest of 2022: “Zero inventory is a game-changer. Even if rates continue to rise, there is not enough inventory to cause a crash. “Millennials are a huge demographic group. This demand pressure is not going away. Especially combined with the fact that Boomers are sitting on their homes when they should be selling to take advantage of skyrocketing prices. They don’t want to risk being homeless or trading in their 3% mortgage for one that is 5%. “We are set up for moderate sustainable growth based on job growth and household/population growth. New home construction cannot even begin to touch the 89,000-inventory deficit in Atlanta.”

If you’ve been thinking about purchasing a home this year, you’re probably wondering if you should continue down that path or if it makes more sense to wait. While the answer depends on your situation, here’s how homeownership can help you combat the rising costs that come with inflation.

Buying a home allows you to stabilize what’s typically your biggest monthly expense: your housing cost. If you get a fixed-rate mortgage on your home, you lock in your monthly payment for the duration of your loan, often 15 to 30 years.

While it’s true rising mortgage rates and home prices mean buying a house today costs more than it did a year ago, you still have an opportunity to set yourself up for a long-term win. Buying now lets you lock in at today’s rates and prices before both climb higher. Find out more at KeepingCurrentMatters.com.

If you’re looking for ways to focus more on the important things in your life, the answer could be downsizing. A recent article from The Balance talks about why it could be a great option, saying: Read full article on KeepingCurrentMatters.com. “There are many reasons to buy a smaller home—or to downsize from your present home—but sometimes, the idea that “less is more” is what propels homeowners to buy a smaller home.”

Home equity plays a big role when you sell your existing house and move. It could be a great tool to use to help you downsize. According to the latest Homeowner Equity Insights report from CoreLogic, the average homeowner gained about $55,300 in equity over the past 12 months. Dr. Frank Nothaft, Chief Economist at CoreLogic, explains how important price appreciation and equity gains are for existing homeowners: “Home prices rose 18% during 2021 in the CoreLogic Home Price Index, the largest annual gain recorded in its 45-year history, generating a big increase in home equity wealth, . . . For low- and moderate-income homeowners, home equity has historically been a major source of wealth.”
