Peggy Slappey Properties, Inc. (PSP) is a trusted real estate brokerage with 39 years in the metro Atlanta area. The brokerage has seen several ups and downs in the market over the years. Today’s market, however, looks a little different. Rising prices, low housing inventory, and huge demand could be leading to a generational shift in the area.

Real estate in the metro Atlanta area is hot. Homes are selling fast, often within just one day of hitting the market.

There is a shortage of homes for sale, which means competition is fierce. How can you, as the buyer, be a top contender and hopefully the winner when it comes to the home of your dreams?

Rule No. 1 – Don’t Wait

In today’s fast-moving market, the buyer that waits is often the buyer who misses out. We understand how big the decision to buy is, but thinking it over for 24 hours gives all the other buyers (and there are a lot of them) time to move before you do. Believe it or not, homes today are selling even before they are officially listed, which makes working with a qualified PSP Realtor even more
