🏡 BIG housing news—and Atlanta buyers should be paying attention.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law, and it could change who you’re competing against when buying a home.

One of the biggest provisions: large institutional investors that own 350+ single-family homes will generally be prohibited from purchasing additional homes, with certain exceptions.

Why does that matter in Atlanta?

We’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for an owner-occupant buyer to compete against large corporate investors. During the frenzy of 2021–2022, I had one listing receive 67 offers. 🤯

The new law also includes measures aimed at making it easier to build more housing, reduce regulatory barriers, and ultimately increase housing supply.

The goal? More opportunities for individual homebuyers and more homes coming to market.

Will it solve Atlanta’s affordability and inventory challenges overnight? No. But it’s a major housing policy change worth watching—especially in Metro Atlanta.

📲 Thinking about buying in Atlanta, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Roswell, or Metro Atlanta? Let’s talk about what this could mean for your home search.

🏡 Are distressed sales starting to make a comeback in Atlanta?
The percentage is still low—but it’s worth watching.

Distressed properties have increased from roughly 1% of sales to 2.5%, and I’ve personally closed two short sales this month.

Before anyone starts thinking 2008–2012 all over again: this is nowhere near what we experienced then, when distressed and short-sale properties made up a much larger share of the market.

But short sales ARE happening again—and they’re a completely different transaction from a traditional home sale.

They require experience working with lenders, negotiators, timelines, documentation, and the approval process. One of our recent short sales closed in about 60 days and another in roughly 90 days.

If you’re struggling with your mortgage, owe more than you can comfortably manage, or simply want to understand your options, don’t wait until the situation becomes urgent.

📍We help homeowners throughout Atlanta, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, and Metro Atlanta navigate complicated real estate situations with a clear strategy.

🏡 THIS is why people fall in love with Kirkwood.

📍 152 Murray Hill Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30317
💰 $550,000 | 2 Bed | 2.5 Bath | 1,161 sqft

Tucked along “the curve” behind a picket fence, this charming bungalow has all the character you hope to find in an Kirkwood home—plus a backyard you absolutely don’t expect.

Think original hardwoods, crystal doorknobs, high ceilings, a rocking-chair porch, gas fireplace and French doors opening to your own little garden escape. 🌿

Out back, mature hardwoods, blooming cherry + dogwood trees, stone pathways, a bridge and koi pond create a park-like setting that backs directly to walkable greenspace.

And when you’re ready to leave home? Kirkwood's restaurants, shops and neighborhood gathering spots are right nearby.

This one just feels like Kirkwood. ❤️

🏠 Atlanta landlords: Is your rental property sitting longer than it used to? You’re not alone.

After years of strong rent growth and easy cash flow, the Atlanta rental market has softened.
Investors who had no problem finding tenants a few years ago may now be dealing with longer vacancy periods, more competition, rent reductions, or concessions like a month or two of free rent.

Why the shift? Atlanta has added significant apartment inventory, while renters are also feeling pressure on their monthly budgets.

So if your investment property isn’t leasing at the rent you achieved in 2022–2024, it may be time to reassess the strategy—not panic.

You may need to adjust the rent, offer an incentive, ride out the market… or decide whether your equity would be better used somewhere else.

📍Own a rental in Atlanta, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Midtown, Decatur, or Metro Atlanta? If you’re debating whether to keep, lease, or sell, let’s run the numbers.

📲 DM “RENTAL” or call me at 404-275-5561 for a personalized property analysis.

🤖🏡 I love AI—but I wouldn’t blindly trust it to choose your Realtor.

We recently put AI recommendations to the test in Garden Hills, Buckhead.

The Shepherd Group currently holds 11% market share in Garden Hills, yet when we asked AI to recommend the top Garden Hills Realtors, several of the names it returned weren’t even among the top agents for recent closed volume or transactions. Some hadn’t sold a home in the neighborhood in years.

Why? Because an AI recommendation isn’t necessarily a market-share ranking. What surfaces can be heavily influenced by SEO, directories, brokerage pages, online profiles, and the information available for AI to find.

That’s an important distinction when you’re choosing someone to sell one of your largest assets.

My advice? Use AI—I certainly do—but verify the recommendation. Look at recent neighborhood sales, actual production, local experience, and yes, ask your neighbors who they trust.
