OK, I planned on posting a monthly Good News Report where I would give you the stats of the local house market to show homes are selling, even if less than before; but due to work demands, illnesses and life in general, I fell behind and I apologize! Here I hope to begin again and this time, keep it up!
For all of Cobb County, the tax site Realist.com gives the following numbers:
| Single Family Residence | ||
| Time Period | Number of Sales | Median Sale Price |
| Feb 2010 | 283 | $179,900 |
| Feb 2009 | 313 | $195,000 |
| Jan 2010 | 315 | $205,000 |
| Jan 2009 | 357 | $209,900 |
| 2010 YTD | 1,149 | $196,000 |
| 2009 | 6,191 | $196,500 |
| Condominium | ||
| Time Period | Number of Sales | Median Sale Price |
| Feb 2010 | 53 | $170,000 |
| Feb 2009 | 46 | $174,500 |
| Jan 2010 | 52 | $143,950 |
| Jan 2009 | 50 | $155,700 |
| 2010 YTD | 180 | $149,950 |
| 2009 | 1,015 | $152,000 |
After researching the numbers for just the city of Acworth, I found out the following:
TOTAL LISTINGS: 400 New, 183 Pending, and 115 Sold
AVG LIST PRICES: $271, 501 New, $215,365 Pending, $200,545 Sold
AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET: 87
So there is a silver lining after all! If 115 homes sold in Acworth alone in the month of April, that means there are buyers out there buying them! Obviously the market is not what it used to be, but that doesn't mean it is hopeless! If you are debating a big move, check out this post to see one perspective as to why it may not be so bad to lose a little bit on the sale of your current home. ; ) Now that's thinking outside the box!
Last time, I also figured the statistics for each neighborhood where a home sold, but this took forever and since that's part of the reason I fell behind on the Good News Report, I decided to just list below the neighborhoods that had the most sales and then figure the individual stats upon request:
Allatoona Bay |
| Arbor Walk |
| Baker Plantation |
| Brookstone |
| Camden Pointe |
| Centennial Commons |
| Chestnut Hill |
| Governors Towne Club |
| Hickory Forest |
| Huddlestone |
| Lake Park |
| McPherson Estates |
| Paces Club |
| Parkwood Commons |
| Proctor Landing Estates |
| Quail Pointe |
| Rivers Run |
| Summer Place |
| Summerfield |
| Thornwood |
| Wade Green Forest |
| Windcroft |
If you would like to know your neighborhood's specific sales stats, (whether it's listed here or not!) let me know either via email or a comment below and I would be more than happy to figure those numbers for you!
Still to come: Paulding County/Acworth and Dallas Good News Reports. See you soon!
