Why Atlanta Is HOT For Investors

Atlanta Property Investment Opportunities are HOT for Investors! According to Forbes Magazine, the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area is “America’s Fastest Growing Large Metro” (January 2008) with a population exceeding 5 million and expected to grow to over 7 million within the next 20 years with the addition of over 1 million new jobs.

Investment opportunities in Metro Atlanta's housing sector are particular impressive. During the years 2000 to 2007, Metro Atlanta housing grew at an astounding rate with many home buyers taking advantage of the lax lending standards of the sub-prime era. Hence, although Metro Atlanta property prices never skyrocketed to unsupported levels as in some other parts of the country, since 2007 Atlanta has consistently ranked as one of the highest housing foreclosure metros in the country. This has resulted in a decline in home prices overall. At the same time, rental rates have remained consistently strong. With many former homeowners now displaced and unable to qualify for mortgage financing, the rental market is actually strengthening and rates continue to etch upwards. These two factors (i.e. lower prices and strong rental rates) represent a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for property investors and account for the healthy net rental returns currently obtainable. As the overall foreclosure rate slowly begins to decline however, we could well see the 'pricing pendulum' swing in the opposite direction with prices resetting closer to their pre-2007 levels as time moves on. This could be especially relevant to housing markets such as Metro Atlanta, where prices were never significantly over-inflated to start with. All this could mean a significant boom for investors purchasing properties now while prices are still at deflated levels relevant to the 2006 and early 2007 boom levels.

In addition to options in the residential real estate market, Atlanta offers numerous commerical and joint venture property opportunities for qualified investors looking to make significantly larger investment commitments. Our Realtor® professionals will be happy to discuss these opportunities with interested parties following the establishment of credentials and business protocols.
