It’s that time of year again, when we all do our best to predict the ups and downs of the real estate market for the year ahead. While we can’t know for certain what the future holds, there are a few educated guesses we can make, and all of them encourage you to Buy Now.
Interest Rates
Mortgage interest rates are slowly creeping up, and financial experts expect them to continue to rise over the course of 2018. Right now, rates continue to hover near historic lows. That means it is an optimal time to buy. Lower interest rates on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage will save you money now and in the future, as you watch your neighbors pay more for the same loan product.
Low Inventory
Metro Atlanta builders are trying to keep up with demand, but
It’s cold out there, Metro Atlanta! Already, we’ve seen a few homeowners and tenants experiencing the headaches of burst pipes because of the below-freezing temperatures overnight. It could cost you thousands in ruined sheet rock, flooring, and personal belongings. Here are a few tried-and-true tips to avoid the mess and expense of frozen and burst pipes as a result of the cold:
Disconnect garden hoses. Drain the hoses appropriately before storing for the winter.
Turn off water to outside faucets by using the valve inside your home. Drain the remaining water by allowing it to run until dry.
Turn off your sprinkler system and blow compressed air through the lines to drain them.

Worried your home isn’t ready for Christmas visitors? You still have time, and we have the quick, easy ways to freshen your home without blowing the budget.
Light it Up and Make it Tidy
Start at the street. Take a good look at your home, and act like you are a once-a-year guest just pulling up for a cup of eggnog and a piece of pie. The days are shorter and more cloudy, and the leaves have fallen from the trees in your yard, which can all work to make it look a little drab and uncared-for. Get out the rake, clean up the leaves, and consider adding lights to walkways. New outdoor light fixtures on the house are also a great way to revitalize your front entryway, immediately making visitors feel warm and welcomed.
If a new home is on your Santa wish list this year, don’t let the holiday season scare you away. There are some great reasons to shop for a new home in December, when you can find the perfect home while everyone else is at the mall!
