Metro Atlanta Market Update
Hey everyone, I’m Paul Washington with The Washington Team. I’ve been guiding Metro Atlanta families through real estate decisions since 1998, and I want to share a quick update on what’s happening in our local market—and how recent economic developments might impact your next move.
Lately, we’ve seen some encouraging national headlines about inflation easing and the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady. Locally, this has helped stabilize mortgage rates, which are now hovering around 6%. That stability is creating a more predictable environment for both buyers and sellers—finally giving everyone a clearer playing field.
Here in Metro Atlanta, home prices continue their slow and steady climb. The good news for buyers is that inventory is up compared to last year, offering more choices and breathing room in your search. But don’t get too comfortable—homes that are well-priced and move-in ready are still selling quickly, often with multiple offers on the table.
For sellers, this remains a great time to list your home—especially if you’re thinking about upgrading, downsizing, or making a lifestyle change. With the right combination of pricing, preparation, and presentation, we can position your home to stand out in today’s market and attract strong offers.
If you're a buyer, I understand that the market can still feel uncertain. That’s why my team and I are here—to guide you every step of the way, help you protect your investment, and ultimately find a home that fits both your needs and your budget.
From family homes in Cherokee County to investment properties in Cobb, we’re helping clients across the region build their futures—and legacies—through real estate.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just planning ahead, let’s connect. I’ll give you the information you need and the partnership you can trust. I’m Paul Washington with The Washington Team—let’s make your next move a smart one.
