Is your family facing a move during the school year? Market conditions in metro Atlanta have put many families’ plans on hold as they search for the right home in the right school system at the right price. It can be a little like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially during the summer months, when everyone wants to move. If you find yourself in this position, facing a move to a new locale and new school during the upcoming school year, we have a few easy tips to make the process less stressful and a little more fun.
Hire an Agent Who Lives and Works in the Area
Your first step is to find a real estate agent who lives and works in the area. Not only will this agent have invaluable local information, but they’ll have access to a
The back-to-school season is nearly here in metro Atlanta. As families gather all the essentials – pencils, paper, backpacks – there are some with a daunting task ahead of them. If you need to move at this time of year, it can feel overwhelming, especially for kids. The real estate experts at Peggy Slappey Properties (PSP) are here to help.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
53% of buyers with kids under 18 listed the quality of the school district as an important factor in choosing a new home.
50% said convenience to schools, or location, was an important factor.
Buyers with childcare expenses are often willing to choose a smaller home to accommodate those expenses.
If you are looking for a new home this summer, it’s a great time to start teaching your kids about why owning a home is so important. Real estate investing is the foundation of the American Dream, whether your family owns one home or many.
Teach Them to Save
Although there are loan programs to help buyers with small savings, it is almost inevitable that buying real estate will require a personal investment of cash. Teach kids the importance of setting a portion of whatever they earn aside. Allow them to divide their money into categories like giving, spending, saving, and investing. Habits made young will be reinforced as they age and begin to earn more.
Let Them Help Create a Budget
Depending on the age of your child, real-world numbers

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. It is now normal to be in a multiple offer situation with upwards of 20 or more offers. There are more buyers in the market than sellers, and new home inventory is continually playing catch up with demand. Agents are scheduling showings in 15-minute increments back-to-back for days on end. Homes
Real estate is moving fast in metro Atlanta. Homes are selling in record time, often on the first day listed. To navigate this fast-paced market, it’s more important than ever before to have an experienced, trusted listing agent on your side.
Getting the Right Price
Your listing agent will start with a current market analysis, using other homes in the area, your home’s unique features, and the latest market trends to determine what your home is worth. Because demand for homes has risen so quickly in 2021, it’s not uncommon to receive multiple offers far over asking price. But the baseline is still important. Setting an accurate starting point will determine how much money is in the seller’s pocket at closing.
Real estate in Metro Atlanta, as in other parts of the country, is roaring. It’s an unprecedented time in the industry, when demand has hugely outpaced inventory. That is driving up costs, causing shortages of raw materials for new homes, and leading to many multiple offer situations. As a buyer, what can you expect a seller to consider in those situations? How do you make your offer stand out from the rest?
Is there a home sale contingency?
If you, as the buyer, have a home to sell yourself, it may make other offers without that contingent sale more attractive to the seller. Avoiding a contingency is just one way to avoid potential complications, like financing falling through on the contingent sale. The good news is that this is a small
