Karen HatcherA Word from 2022 Atlanta REALTORS® President Karen Hatcher:

“Metro Atlanta remains ripe with strong demand even with increasing interest rates,” reports Atlanta REALTORS® Association President Karen Hatcher. “The lack of supply continues to result in a decrease in the number of sales and double digit increases in price.”

“We don’t expect any strong price correction coming soon even with the rising interest rates due to the lack of inventory,” says Hatcher. “Buyers on the lower end of pricing will be the most affected simply because there is extremely low to no inventory of starter homes or affordable housing.”

“Sellers are still realizing huge gains as our economy grows and housing prices increase so now is still a great time to list a home.” stated Hatcher.
