1Q 2012 Real Estate Market Update for Oakhurst Decatur

Oakhurst | Decatur, GA | 30030 |  Data extracted from the Atlanta FMLS 01/01/2012 - 03/31/2012

Single Family Home Sales in Oakhurst

Demand for this popular Decatur neighborhood is still very strong, compared to other nearby neighborhoods -- and based on our personal experience this year, we are on the road to recovery.

The number of Oakhurst Decatur homes sold was down from the same time last year, but as you will see from the report below, there is a definite POSITIVE SHIFT in the Oakhurst real estate market.

OAKHURST GA HOME SALES (1Q 2012 versus prior years)

Only 12 homes sold in Oakhurst between January 1 and March 31, which is quite a bit less than the previous two years, but the time to sell a home is down by almost 10% and the average home sales price is moving up the charts!  

In my professional opinion, home owners were still hesitant to list their homes, so there were fewer "quality" homes on the market.  When there are fewer homes on the market, buyers begin submitting multiple offers and the best homes sell quickly and for top dollar.

AVERAGE SALES PRICE  (1Q 2012 versus prior years)

With an average sales price of $379,061 in Q1, it is the highest its been since 2009!  Homes sold on average in 51 days (compared to 58 days in 1Q 2011 and 64 days in 1Q 2010) AND they sold (on average) for 101% of the listing price.  In my professional opinion, this is a great sign that the Oakhurst real estate market is on the mend!

If you are a serious home buyer who is looking in Oakhurst, keep in mind that homes are selling quickly, with multiple offers and they are selling at or sometimes OVER the listing price.

 If you have questions about this quarter's market report and/or are thinking about selling your Oakhurst home, please call anytime at 404.432.1844.  We would be honored to help!

Wondering what the $25 Billion foreclosure settlement means to YOU? 

This article from the Wall Street Journal sums it up nicely -->  

http://www.scoop.it/t/atlanta-ga-real-estate/p/1211764260/q-a-what-the-pact-means-

The eligibility criteria is a bit complicated, but if you had or have a loan with one of the "BIG 5" mortgage companies, you may be eligible for one of the following:

(1) A reduction of the principal on your mortgage (this applies if you are late on your mortgage payments and/or are in danger of foreclosure

(2) Option to refinance at today's interest rates (you have to be current one your mortgage payments)

(3) Possible small cash award if your home was foreclosed in the 2008 to 2011 timeframe. 

Based on the information in the article, your loan cannot be a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (government) backed loan.

Also, this settlement is SEPARATE from the up and coming enhancements with Home Affordable Refinance Plan (HARP).

A little confusing, but we'll do our best to keep you informed!

For those homeowners who aren't able to refinance because they owe more than their home is currently work, this is going to be a great opportunity for you to refinance with little to no cost and no appraisal. The eligibility criteria is fairly straightforward, but this video does a fantastic job of explaining the program.

The video is over 30 minutes long, but if you just want a quick cheat sheet, please email me at Kerry@nestatlanta.com and I'll send you a 2-page overview of the program.
