The first flowers of spring have just started to bloom in Metro Atlanta, but home sales are already hot. It is arguably the best real estate market our area has seen in more than a decade. If you are waiting for the traditional spring selling season to arrive before you list your home, you’re in luck – the busy season is already here!
1. Homes Are Spending Less Time on the Market

Looking to buy a home in the near future? Listen up! These are the top five money mistakes that can jeopardize your purchase:
New Loans
Once you have secured financing, do NOT open any new lines of credit. This means no new store credit cards, car loans, or financed purchases of any kind. If your new home needs new furniture, either use cash or wait until 30 days after closing so your debt-to-income ratio does not change. After all, the furniture won’t do you any good if you can’t buy the house to put it in.
Missed Payments
Make all your standard monthly payments on time. Just before closing is not the time to be forgetful about that credit card bill you’ve had since college. Keep your credit score impeccable and unchanged in the
How nice would it be to live just minutes from your favorite restaurants, stores and movie theaters?

Each year, tens of thousands of Gwinnett County consumers cast their votes to decide which businesses are the “Best of Gwinnett,” a contest run by Gwinnett Magazine. For the fifth year running, Peggy Slappey Properties has won in 2019’s Real Estate category!
Being named Best of Gwinnett is a true honor. Peggy Slappey Properties started more than 35 years ago with just three employees in one tiny office and has now grown to over 40 agents representing families, investors, and builders across the Metro Atlanta area. Our agents are the best in the business, and it shows in the votes they received during the competition. Each day, they represent the PSP name with honest, conscientious service. They are experts in all areas of residential real
This past weekend brought an unexpected blast of winter to North Georgia, reminding us all that no matter what happened on Groundhog Day, Spring is still many weeks away. Maybe you’ve heard that the best time to buy or sell a home is during the busy spring market, traditionally the hottest time of year in real estate. However, in 2020 that old “rule” has been upended.
January 2020 was one of the busiest on record for Peggy Slappey Properties agents. Traffic in new home communities is way up from previous years at the same time, and resale properties – especially in Gwinnett County – are hot. This is great news for the metro Atlanta real estate market, and even better news for both buyers and sellers.
Don’t let the rain or the cold keep you inside this weekend, metro Atlanta! It’s time to get out there and enjoy some of the great events offered close to home.
