Atlanta condos and town homes closed down  to 648 units in March - a decline of 40.3% YTD from same timeframe last year.  Reduced sales, higher inventory of homes for sale and a big increase in Atlanta foreclosures has also lead to a major price decline for the once price stable Atlanta real estate market.  The average price for single family detached Atlanta home was $246,901 in March 2008 or a decline of 7.4% from the same period last year.  The average price for Atlanta condos and town homes in March 2008 has also declined.

We're feeling it, too, down here on the southside.

I have not felt as much of a pinch directly here in Upstate NY but I have felt the pinch in underwriting. Most banks that I deal with determine their underwriting guidelines based on what is happening on the national scene. I have been getting hammered lately on my appraisals lately.

Charles McDonald / Your Trusted Agent for Charlottesville Real Estate   Some say it is 11 counties, other say 24 counties.  I just cover whatever is listed in the primary FMLS MLS.

Wow.  Jim, that's some set of numbers.  We only sold 1,192 houses in all of '07.  That's barely one neighborhood for you guys.  That said, we're experiencing about the same level of decline.

Steve Harless  Not this year.  Mid to later 2009.  There is too much of a head a steam to the downside.  An Analogy is there is like having a small sponge and someone just knocked over a barrel of water.  There is too much inventory, not enough buyers, no EZ credit.
