Spring Home Buyers Come Early to Alpharetta, GA

An unusually warm January has prompted  home buyers to kick-off the spring real estate market early this year in Alpharetta, GA. 

The Alpharetta area has seen a rise in activity since October 2011 and has continued to increase through what is typically a slow period. 

There are a couple of factors that have spurred this increase.

• One is the current mortgage interest rates and the rumors of increases to come in mid-2012. 
• Second is Corporate America is once again transferring their employees and Alpharetta is a favorite destination for many transferees.  The award winning schools, great neighborhoods, and area amenities make this an ideal place to call home.
• Third, I think is the realization that this market is not going to rebound as quickly as it has in the past.  That as homes sellers they may have to take a loss on their current home, but as home buyers they should be able to see great savings.
