I have been thinking about this for over a year now, and I think may have written a post about it last year. I gave some thought to putting it off given the current climate and fear around the corona virus. However, I kind of think that maybe we could use another more normal subject … Read More
Thankfully, it is not raining today in Athens. I truly believe that the rainy weather has slowed the spring market here in town. In recent years, the real estate market would usually heat up in January, but this year I feel like we were a little late getting underway. I know a lot of realtors … Read More
The first month of 2020 is behind us and at this point the real estate market looks very similar to last January. The amount of sold homes in Clarke and Oconee county is almost even when compared to January of 2019.

We are a few days away from 2017 which is an ideal time to look back at the year that was in Athens real estate. Clearly, 2016 was an interesting year, and the overwhelming story of 2016 would have to be the Presidential election because it was very polarizing and ultimately quite surprising. It seems half … Read More

It is now the beginning of August, and kids are either back in school or getting ready to start. The summer is almost over, but it hasn’t cooled off in the slightest.
