Eugene James with Metrostudy is this week’s guest on the award-winning Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio show. Eugene shares the latest housing market numbers from first quarter 2013, and his interview is followed by a discussion with Elayne DeLeo from Modern Atlanta.
Eugene James is the Atlanta director for Metrostudy, and he has been analyzing real estate markets for more than 20 years. Metrostudy is a national firm that was recently purchased by Hanley Wood and now serves more markets than ever.
According to Eugene, the Atlanta housing market is pretty exciting. He says that the Georgia Department of Labor recently announced revised numbers that indicate the area is adding between 50,000 to 60,000 net new jobs each month as compared with 2012. This increased job creation is what is behind the increased demand for housing. One of the biggest impacts demand is having is increased new home prices. In the first quarter of 2013, median resale prices rose 30 percent from the same time in 2012, which recorded the lowest median sale price on record. On the new home construction side, builders can’t build fast enough. In fact, builders are saying that 50 percent of their new construction inventory has been pre-sold, which is big news since Atlanta has never been a strong pre-sale market.
