A Word from 2018 Atlanta REALTORS® President Bill Murray: "The summer cycle has ended, and the number of transactions has slowed to below the sales this time last year, at least partially due to a continued tight, yet slightly increasing, inventory of available homes. Sales prices have begun to level out but continue strong increases with year over year comparison as Atlanta looks towards the slower months ahead."
