HotLanta lives up to its name
Good Morning America recently announced the top 5 cities in America for finding new jobs, and guess who made the list - Atlanta. That’s right, Atlanta, the business and technology hub of America, is ranked #4 on the list. With Fortune 500 companies like Coca Cola, UPS and Home Depot headquartered in our southern city, Atlanta is a hot market for job growth. This is good news for anyone searching for employment because the unemployment rates are up in the nation, and jobs are scarce, so it’s nice to know that we have one of the best opportunities right here in our neighborhood.

Atlanta is in the middle for home prices
A recent report by the Center for Housing Policy ranks nearly 200 metropolitan areas for housing affordability.

Atlanta real estate landed pretty much in the middle of the pack at number 100. Our median home price was listed at $185,000. That means neither a registered nurse, an elementary school teacher nor a fire fighter could qualify for a mortgage on the median priced home based on their annual income. The income needed was calculated using the average prevailing interest rate and assuming a 10 percent downpayment.
