Atlanta Housing Market: Slowing Down or Gearing Up?

The Atlanta housing market continues to shift, shaped by migration trends, job growth, supply dynamics and affordability challenges. Cara Lavender, senior research manager with John Burns Research and Consulting, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the factors shaping today’s housing market and her predictions for 2026.Is Atlanta’s growth slowing?A recent headline suggested that Atlanta’s migration-fueled growth streak had ended. Lavender disagrees, explaining that the city’s growth is smaller post-pandemic, yet still increasing.“While the migration into Atlanta has undoubtedly slowed, and we’re not seeing the same type of influx that we did three years ago, we’re not seeing this exodus from the state or from the metro,” said Lavender. “We’re still seeing positive year-over-year [population] growth.”Household migration data, a better indicator of housing demand than census population figures, indicates a 2% net inflow of households into Atlanta as of June 2025. Another trend that Lavender points out is residents settling beyond the defined Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) into counties such as Hall and Jackson, which still function as part of the metro housing market.What about job growth and high-income employment in metro Atlanta?Like much of the nation, Atlanta’s job growth has slowed, while its metro area remains relatively healthy:Overall job growth is positive at about 1% year-over-year.High-income jobs, which are closely tied to new home demand, declined from 2023 to 2024, but are now trending slightly positive againWhile the short-term outlook feels choppy, these fundamentals keep Atlanta positioned well for long-term strength.“We’d love to see it more positive in a healthy environment, but we’re still seeing some solid job growth in Atlanta,” said Lavender. “It’s one of those long-term fundamentals that I think allows people to be more bullish about Atlanta.”How is consumer hesitation affecting housing supply and pricing?Atlanta currently has 4.3 months of resale supply, up from under four months at the start of 2025. Still, Lavender explains that home values are down about 2% year-over-year as buyer hesitancy grows. The economy, interest rates and job stability are just a few topics on the minds of today’s homebuyers.Atlanta is the nation’s third-largest new home market by community count, so how does the resale market stack up? Resale homes are actually dominating the market, making up 83% of recent closings. Lavender emphasizes that both new and resale sectors are still rated “slow” by John Burns Consulting.Lavender said, “Builders are working incredibly hard, and resale sellers are starting to make some price movements to get people across the line.”Builders report prices down about 2% year-over-year, driven by incentives like rate buy-downs and closing cost coverage. On the other hand, nearly 40% of resale listings need major updates, which pushes some buyers toward turnkey new construction.Is it more affordable to rent or buy a home in Atlanta?Affordability remains the biggest barrier for many households, and the Atlanta housing market is not making it easy for them to buy. From 2017 to 2019, owning a starter home cost about $100 to $200 more per month than renting an apartment. Today, that premium has ballooned to over $1,000 per month, keeping many renters from making the leap into homeownership. As a result, the build-to-rent sector continues to grow nationwide, while owner-household growth has stalled.What’s next for the Atlanta housing market?Homebuyers can expect a slow housing market through 2025 and into 2026. Recent interest rate cuts will help, though they’re unlikely to unleash a flood of pent-up demand without stronger consumer confidence and job security.“We need consumers to feel more confident in their jobs and more confident in the US economy to be making these decisions,” said Lavender. “We also have builders that have been buying down into the sub-six, even sub-five, for some time now, and those incentives aren’t going anywhere, at least through the remainder of 2025. Mortgage rate movement will ease some of the cost pressure on the margin side for those builders.”Lavender assures homebuyers that the long-term outlook remains positive. As in-migration continues and job growth steadies, she projects 2027 and 2028 as years poised for stronger growth once today’s uncertainties work through the system.

Gwinnett County Leads Bold Push for Attainable Housing

When it comes to housing, some counties are scrambling to keep pace with growth. Gwinnett County is charting its own path, actively shaping how development happens and who it serves. Matthew Elder, division director with the Gwinnett County Department of Planning and Development, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how the county is rethinking housing policy to make room for more diverse, attainable options.What Does “Attainable Housing” Really Mean?Elder explains that Gwinnett County’s vision for attainable housing rests on three key principles:Affordability across income levels – Housing should cost no more than 30% of a household’s income, whether that family earns $50,000 or $500,000 a year.Accessibility with low barriers – Renters shouldn’t face unnecessary hurdles, like excessive deposits or outdated disqualifiers on background checks.Choice in housing types and locations – From townhomes to tiny homes, residents should have options in different neighborhoods, not just isolated developments.“Choice is fundamental in everything that we do,” said Elder. “Having choice in housing is a key part of how we’re moving forward for accountability.”Updating Codes, Removing BarriersGwinnett County recently updated its Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), giving developers more flexibility and opportunities for new housing models. With the removal of “minimum square footage” limitations, tiny homes, ADUs and cottages are now viable options in Gwinnett County. Relaxed density rules also mean that multifamily projects can use floor-to-area ratios instead of strict unit-per-acre caps, allowing more creative designs.The updated ordinance introduces a new category – residential infill zoning – which features no minimum lot size and is designed for “missing middle” housing and smaller, unconventional parcels. What about walkability? Gwinnett County residents can look forward to reduced parking minimums, opening up possibilities for mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly communities.“Time is money, and time can be as expensive as the actual dollars you need to invest to go vertical or horizontal with your development,” said Elder. “We focus on listening to our development partners, where they had pain points in the process, and we see what we can do.”Supporting Innovation and PartnershipsIn 2024, Gwinnett County launched its first Affordable Housing Development Fund, investing $18 million in residential projects. The response was overwhelming: 26 requests totaling $75 million. Gwinnett County ultimately funded 12 projects and is expected to deliver 780 new affordable units.The county is also backing innovative housing models. Through a partnership with Gwinnett Housing Corporation and the Microlife Institute, federal dollars are helping fund Gwinnett County’s first tiny home community, which features 11 cottage-style units.What’s Next for Gwinnett County?Elder predicts that within the next decade, the housing landscape will look “anything but typical.” Instead of “cookie-cutter” subdivisions, the county envisions neighborhoods that reflect their residents—diverse, walkable and accessible at every price point.Conversations about new housing sometimes bring up “NIMBY” concerns. Elder acknowledges that skepticism exists but believes proof will speak louder than fears.Elder said, “I tell them, ‘Come back to me in five or 10 years, when this is done and we’ve got great residents living here who are great taxpayers and improving your property,’”While these challenges remain, Gwinnett County’s proactive stance is already earning positive feedback from developers, community partners and residents alike. Tune into the full episode to learn more about Gwinnett County and visit https://www.GwinnettCounty.com/Departments/PlanningDevelopment.About Gwinnett CountyGwinnett County, located just northeast of Atlanta, is one of Georgia’s fastest-growing counties. Home to more than 950,000 residents, it is recognized as the most diverse county in the Southeast and among the most diverse in the nation.

DeKalb County: Focusing on Housing

Chief Development Officer Jacob Vallo and Chief Housing Officer Alan Ferguson from DeKalb County join Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how DeKalb County is investing in housing and economic development that will boost the lives of its residents.How is DeKalb County shifting its focus toward housing and economic development?Under the leadership of CEO Lorraine Cochran Johnson, DeKalb County is experiencing a strategic reinvestment phase. With 13 municipalities and several unincorporated areas, she recognized the need for a sharper focus on housing and development.The county has significant opportunities connected to public investment in infrastructure, remediation and other improvements, and those investments often pave the way for private development.Ferguson said, “Whenever there’s public investment, that’s a predecessor for private investment.”From the housing perspective, the priority is to ensure that new residential projects, whether for rent or for sale, incorporate attainable housing and add to the workforce by leveraging every available tool and resource.What housing and economic development programs is DeKalb County involved in?DeKalb County already has strong players on the field: a successful Housing Authority and Decide DeKalb, the county’s economic development agency. Through these initiatives, Ferguson and Vallo work together to align resources and ensure common goals are met. In their first year with DeKalb County, they have already accomplished so much. Some major highlights include:Tackling long-delayed water and sewer upgrades, supported by a $425 million bond issuance.Partnering with Grady Memorial Hospital on a third health clinic to better serve residents.Finalizing a master transit plan to prioritize new connections across the county.Launching an $8 million housing initiative to help families transition out of extended-stay motels.Envisioning a mixed-use redevelopment at 4380 Memorial, a 24-acre site with room for affordable housing and county services.Ferguson said, “What it really boils down to is three Cs: connection, capacity and creation.”What is on the horizon for DeKalb County residents?Vallo said, “If you can’t see the whole chessboard, it’s kind of hard to be strategic about your work.”DeKalb County recently unveiled a comprehensive housing plan designed to give industry leaders and policymakers a clear picture of local housing demand and the types of products most needed. The plan highlights where county officials are more supportive of higher-density development and where single-family homes remain the preferred option. Officially set to launch in October, the initiative will guide future housing decisions across the county.Ferguson said, “It’s going to provide direction for outside partners, as well as it’s going to provide a document that’s going to drive how we invest the county’s time and resources towards making things happen.”Ferguson explains that DeKalb County is “on the cusp of beginning its zoning rewrite,” a process that will introduce new “missing middle” housing options for residents. With demand for attainable housing on the rise, the county aims to expand its housing inventory while avoiding the burden of excessive costs.With a broader view and a shared commitment, DeKalb County is investing in housing and economic development as the foundation for a stronger future. Tune into the full episode to learn more about DeKalb County and visit www.DeKalbCountyGA.gov.About DeKalb CountyLocated in the metro Atlanta area, DeKalb County is Georgia’s fourth most populous county with more than 764,000 residents. Cities such as Brookhaven, Decatur, Dunwoody and Stonecrest are entirely contained within the county. Notable attractions in DeKalb County include Fernbank Museum of Natural History, the Michael C. Carlos Museum and the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.

Henry®: Insulate Your Home with Recycled Denim

Have a pair of jeans that no longer fit? Give them a second life and recycle them! Julie Eno, VP of customer insights at Henry®, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss Henry®’s unique UltraTouch insulation, made entirely from recycled denim!How does denim insulation stand out against other alternative insulations on the market?Denim insulation has been around for several decades, but not as a readily available product to consumers. Through a key partnership that eventually led to the acquisition of denim insulation, Henry® has transformed it from a niche solution into a nationwide product. The company is pleased to offer UltraTouch denim insulation at Home Depot, right alongside traditional fiberglass and mineral wool insulations.It’s an eco-friendly product that remains soft on consumers and the environment. UltraTouch supports “healthy home” standards and avoids off-gassing and itch associated with other insulation products, while breathing new life into textiles that might otherwise end up in landfills. On top of that, it’s incredibly simple to install.Eno said, “For us, it’s about bringing a technology that’s been around for a bit and making it accessible to everyone across the country.”Denim insulation delivers the same reliable thermal performance as any traditional insulation batting, meeting standard R-value requirements like R-13 or R-19. Customers also point out noticeably improved acoustic performance, with the natural cotton fibers absorbing sound and creating a quieter living environment. With no chemical irritants or formaldehyde, denim insulation offers peace of mind for those prioritizing a healthier home and improved indoor air quality. UltraTouch is available at $1 per square foot, which is very comparable to fiberglass insulation that sells between $0.70 and $0.80 per square foot.“Contractors need products that are available and accessible, and they want to make sure that they can always trust that the product is going to be there when they need it,” said Eno. “Once you see it and you feel it, you really believe it. I think that’s part of getting contractors to try something new, and it’s important for us as a manufacturer to make sure that it’s readily available where they need it and where they’re shopping.”How does Henry® acquire so much denim?Henry® works closely with large-scale textile recyclers who collect materials through donation programs and collection bins, ensuring a steady flow of post-consumer denim. A major part of this effort comes from its partnership with Cotton Incorporated’s Blue Jeans Go Green™ program, which collaborates with popular retailers like Madewell, American Eagle, Carhartt and even Zappos to make denim recycling easy and accessible.Eno said, “There is tons of textile waste, which is a huge problem in the United States, so we’re grateful for the opportunity to divert that from landfills and reuse it for something good for your home.”What does the process of recycling denim look like start to finish?Curious how your blue jeans transform into insulation? Eno breaks it down into four steps:Henry® receives bundles of denim from its partners and loads them onto a conveyor belt at the manufacturing plant.As the denim is refined and broken down by machines, it returns to its initial, fibrous state. All zippers, buckles and other hardware are removed and recycled during this phase.The denim is cleaned and treated with a natural fire retardant, ensuring it meets the Class A fire rating.Finally, the denim is crafted into batts and distributed.Where is the insulation industry headed in the next five to 10 years?Homeowners and builders alike are increasingly prioritizing healthier, low-carbon materials that reduce environmental impact while still meeting energy efficiency standards. That demand is only expected to grow, driven by consumer preference for sustainable products that go beyond thermal performance to support a truly holistic home. This includes insulation that contributes to quieter spaces, cleaner indoor air and reduced embodied carbon in buildings.At the same time, labor savings are becoming a major focus, with interest in solutions that streamline installation, such as integrated panels that combine multiple functions into one step. For Henry®, the commitment is clear: continue innovating with sustainable building materials that not only support energy and health goals but also save contractors time and deliver what today’s homeowners are asking for.Tune into the full episode to learn more about how denim insulation is transforming the insulation industry.

Movement Mortgage: Empowering the Homebuyers of Today & Tomorrow

A tuition-free charter school built by a mortgage company? Bet you haven’t heard of that before! Gina Spearman, market leader at Movement Mortgage, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the new Movement School in South Fulton County and what she expects from interest rates through the end of 2025.What is the Movement School in South Fulton?Movement Mortgage is proud to offer tuition-free education through its nonprofit Movement Foundation. The first six schools opened near Movement Mortgage’s headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Each Movement School presents quality education for elementary school students, particularly in underserved communities. Its seventh location recently opened in South Fulton and offers kindergarten, first and second grade classes for the first school year.“I think our founder [Casey Crawford] and our Foundation continue to focus on education because that is the single best way to help someone overcome generational poverty.”The Movement School, located in South Fulton, welcomed 300 students, or “scholars” as Spearman likes to address them, for its inaugural school year. Spearman says that one of her favorite aspects of working at Movement Mortgage is showing clients around the schools and demonstrating how doing business with Movement Mortgage impacts the lives of local children.“When you do business with Movement Mortgage, and you refer us to your clients, you are making an impact too,” said Spearman. “Those profits are then going to the school, so it’s been exciting to share that with our customers and our partners.”Why does the Movement School focus on elementary education? Spearman explains that its curriculum is focused on developing life skills and building character, alongside the reading, writing and mathematical understandings that students need to succeed in life. By investing in younger minds, the school makes a difference during some of the most formative years in a child’s life. Classrooms also feature college mascots to encourage students to aim high and look confidently toward higher education.The Movement Schools in Charlotte have demonstrated remarkable success, often far surpassing the performance of traditional public schools in both test scores and overall outcomes. Their results have drawn the attention of parents and corporations and businesses across industries, eager to understand and replicate this model of excellence. Yet despite these achievements, charter schools typically receive only 60 to 70 cents for every dollar allocated to public schools. This funding gap limits their ability to expand programs, attract talent and serve more students who could benefit from their proven approach. Increasing financial support for charter schools is not just an investment in education, it is an investment in innovation, opportunity and the future success of underserved communities.Spearman said, “If we’re able to produce these kinds of results with only 60 to 70 cents on the dollar, just think what we could do if we had more.”What is the current state of interest rates, and what trends can homebuyers expect to see through the end of the year?In today’s market, interest rates remain highly unpredictable and more volatile than in recent decades. However, recent trends have offered a bit of optimism. After closing July at 6.75%, rates dropped by nearly a quarter of a point in August, signaling movement in the right direction. The broader outlook suggests a period of moderation and Spearman forecasts rates to ease into the low sixes by the end of 2025.What is the Movement Boost program?There is a major resurgence of first-time homebuyers in the market, which has inspired more downpayment assistance programs than ever before. Buyers can utilize statewide programs, such as the Georgia Dream Program, or discuss 100% FHA loans with their preferred lenders. Movement Mortgage has its own in-house FHA loan, known as Movement Boost, which includes first and second mortgages. It’s a great option for homebuyers who don’t qualify for city or state loans but need the flexibility of a 100% FHA loan.Spearman said, “With people already struggling with affordability, the rates being higher and payments being higher than a lot of people are comfortable with, it can kind of soften the blow that they don’t need as much money out of pocket to purchase a home.”Movement Mortgage offers a range of loans that suit all buyer types, including:DSCR loansNo ratio loansRenovation loansVA loansTune into the full episode to learn more about The Movement School and Movement Mortgage’s approach to the current housing market. For more information about Movement Mortgage, visit https://movement.com/.About Movement MortgageAs a national lender, Movement Mortgage serves clients in all 50 states. It currently funds approximately $20 million in mortgage transaction each year, which ranks it in the top 10 retail lenders nationwide. CEO and Co-Founder, Casey Crawford, saw the need for a different kind of mortgage company and created Movement Mortgage to “exist to love and value people.” In addition to its day-to-day operations, Movement Mortgage places over half of its profits into the Movement Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on giving back to the communities that Movement Mortgage serves.Podcast ThanksThank you to Denim Marketing for sponsoring Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.

Traton Homes: Education & Steady Expansion

What does it take to build in today’s housing market? A lot of adaptability! Chris and Clif Poston, principals of Traton Homes, join Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss Traton Homes’ steady transition into the Florida housing market and Traton University, an internal training program recently opened to the public to share industry insights.Traton UniversityChris Poston started Traton University with Traton Homes’ VP of Construction, Bob Hupp, as a method for training employees on emerging technology, trends and other topics related to residential construction. In March, the program launched publicly with a blog on insights from the Synovus Bank 2025 Economic Outlook Breakfast. His second installment covered residential development growth in Georgia and Florida, which together account for 40% of growth in the Southeast.Balancing Design with AffordabilityClif Poston emphasizes that a neighborhood’s size plays a major role in its design and affordability. Traton first approaches a potential development from an economic viewpoint, asking “What product line is achievable here?” and “How many lots can reasonably fit here within that product line?” Geographical concerns are assessed next, followed by potential amenity offerings.“It’s an economic trade-off and every deal is independent,” said Clif Poston. “We try to find that perfect blend and it takes a collaborative effort between different parts of the company to get that done.”Expansion into Florida“The market itself seems to be such a growing place to be, and so we did some build-to-rent homes down there for one of our partners,” said Clif Poston. “It gave us a good jumping-off platform to get immersed in the subculture down there and meet everybody. We’ve closed on several new projects and have several more that we’re hoping to close on in the next six or eight months.”Traton Homes just expanded its reach into Florida’s Panhandle with neighborhoods in Tallahassee and Panama City, Fla. Clif Poston describes building in Florida as a “total inverse” of Georgia due to its unique topography and weather conditions. In Florida, all homes must be built four feet above ground to account for groundwater.What products are Traton Homes building in Florida? The builder’s active adult floor plans have been very successful, specifically the ranch-story homes with zero-step entry. It is also building townhomes and some luxury, higher-end homes. Traton is pleased to announce that Pearl Place in Blue Mountain Beach, Fla., will offer walkability to the beach and spacious floor plans. These homes will be pool standard with 12-foot ceilings on the first floor and five to six bedrooms on 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Davis Landing in Panama City is another luxurious choice, featuring nine lots with deep-water dock access and 30 interior lots.“We’re trying to be more reactive to what the buyers want and give them that next level of design,” said Clif Poston. “While we’re using a little bit of our Atlanta product, we are trying to make it design-driven enough to really fit the specific submarkets and what the buyers want down there.”Chris Poston points out several differences between Traton’s active adult buyers and single-family home buyers and how it’s pivoting to accommodate both. He explains that lower-priced point homes are more competitive, while active adult buyers often pay in cash and can afford a more expensive product. Other elements that Traton considers for its single-family home target group include incentives to draw in first-time buyers, convenient locations and favorable school districts. Active adult buyers are often less concerned about location but instead prioritize amenities and community engagement.Chris Poston said, “They want a nice house and want all the stuff in it, but at the end of the day, there is a price we pay making sure we’re putting all the features to attract them to those single-family houses.”The Long View of Housing Economy TrendsChris Poston said, “There’s going to be a need for houses and lots, you just have to make sure you’re making good decisions for the long term, not just what’s hitting you right now.”While population growth fuels the need for housing and interest rates fluctuate, Chris Poston encourages buyers to look at the bigger picture. Long-term interest rates are actually lower than the historical average right now. Traton Homes is also strategically building within under-supplied markets in Georgia and Florida in hopes of balancing the months of supply (MOS) equilibrium.Despite fluctuating interest rates and a growing population driving the demand for housing, Chris Poston encourages homebuyers to focus on the long-term outlook. Currently, long-term interest rates are below the historical average. To help balance the market, Traton Homes is strategically building in under-supplied markets in Georgia and Florida.Tune into the full episode to learn more about Traton University and where Traton Homes is building next.

A Performer/A Environment: Moving the Needle in Today’s Workplace

How can individuals “move the needle” on their careers and achieve higher performance at work? Farrell Middleton, president of The Bell Curve of Life, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how his new book, A Performer/A Environment, presents working professionals with the tools they need to make meaningful growth in the workplace.The 20-60-20 PrincipleIn A Performer/A Environment, Middleton dives into the “bell curve” pattern that comprises working professionals. The upper category of workers makes up 20%, then 60% is in the middle and 20% are in the lower category. He looks at factors such as behavior, skills, performance and results to empower individuals in the middle 60% and lower 20% to make improvements in life that matter to them.Middleton said, “These [changes] have to make a difference to them and those closest to them.”Through The Bell Curve of Life and the book, Middleton offers a powerful framework for professionals to pinpoint and cultivate the most crucial aspects of their lives. His core mission is to empower individuals to reach the “top 20% of what matters most to them.”Building Industry Reflections“I think everybody has a skill set of some sort,” said Middleton. “They just need to find it.”A Performer/A Environment draws on Middleton’s 36-year career in the building industry, and he reflects on several take-aways from his time in the industry, most notably the people he has met and his exposure to customer service.“I’ve had the privilege of working closely with people of all educational levels, from high-level to master’s degrees in finance to people who never graduated from high school and everything in between,” said Middleton. “And every one of them, no matter their station, has stories of success and stories of failure, like we all do.”In the homebuilding industry, customer service is the vital link between a builder and a homebuyer. According to Middleton, this connection is only as strong as a company’s internal communication. He argues that seamless and consistent internal communication is the key to effectively selling a product or service.The homebuilding process involves a series of critical handoffs, and each one must be handled with deliberate communication and careful consideration. When these internal transitions are smooth, the customer experience is enhanced and the company’s reputation for reliability and quality is strengthened.“We just don’t realize the impact that our performance has on other people,” said Middleton. “We can take a step back and everybody can say, ‘Hey, if what I’m doing right now is going to negatively impact somebody down the line, maybe I could do a little bit better?’”Communication and Relationship-BuildingMiddleton says the number one issue he sees through his program is individuals not listening. No one has all of the answers, but communication and building relationships with coworkers and industry peers are great ways to learn new skills.Middleton explains, “If someone becomes a better listener, they can automatically become a better leader.” They can do that tomorrow, without a doubt.”In A Performer/A Environment, professionals access everything they need to elevate their performance, from individual skills such as attitude and communication to the higher-level skills needed in management positions. When leaders adopt better skills, it trickles down to their associates as well. A healthy work environment, built on respect and strong communication, is also key to success. With improvements in these categories, a worker in the middle range can move to the upper, high-achieving tier with time and dedication.Middleton identifies three major characteristics of a “good” leader:A healthy vision for the businessRemain approachableWilling to delegate tasksAbility to ID other leaders“Don’t be scared of smart people,” said Middleton. “Get them on your team as fast as you can and let them perform. Both of your lives will be better for whatever period of time you’re together.”Tune into the full episode to discover how to unlock your full potential in the workplace.

Staying Patient & Adaptable with Atlanta’s Housing Market

What does the Atlanta housing market have in common with Back to the Future, The Hangover and The Hunger Games? Todd Emerson, general manager at Harry Norman, REALTORS®, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how the market is returning to fundamentals, paying for the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic and pushing homebuyers into a “feast or famine” outlook on for-sale inventory.Moving Forward After the COVID-19 PandemicThe COVID-19 pandemic left its mark on the real estate industry, creating new challenges for home builders, Realtors and homebuyers to navigate. During the pandemic, Realtors found creative ways to keep business moving, from masks and cleaning protocols to virtual tours. Now, Emerson says that higher mortgage rates are making it challenging to move inventory.Emerson explains, “Home values have increased by 50% since 2019 and, when you combine with the increase in the mortgage rates, it can be challenging for a lot of buyers, especially first-time homebuyers who require more time to save up their down payment.”Metro Atlanta Housing Market PredictionsHomes are not one-size-fits-all, so housing data is most meaningful when divided into three distinct sectors: single-family homes, condos and townhomes.Single-family homes: While 4% behind in total sales, single-family homes are expected to catch up if a rate cut occurs in September. The current months-of-supply (MOS) estimate is three to four months, which is a healthy equilibrium for modest home appreciation.Condos: The condo market is down 13% with a MOS estimate of eight to nine months. While prices are beginning to depreciate slightly, Emerson confirms that it’s a normal function of the higher MOS.Townhomes: This sector is tracking similarly to single-family homes with a 3% decrease in total sales.Fluctuating mortgage rates have impacted home sales, but what other factors should buyers keep in mind? The effect of recent tariffs remains to be seen, while employment trends and changes in job market conditions, personal consumption expenditures (PCEs) and stock market changes also dictate federal rates.Choosing the Right Time & Place to BuyWhen is the best time to buy your dream home? Emerson assures buyers that “the right time to buy is when you’re ready to buy.” Attempting to time a home purchase with market changes is almost impossible. For home shoppers concerned about mortgage rates dropping, he reminds them that refinancing and rate buydowns are options.“When interest rates get closer to 6%, which we know will happen over time, it’s going to bring 400,000 to 500,000 more buyers into the market,” said Emerson. “That means more opportunity for you competing against somebody for that house and multiple offers.”Walkability is still a huge draw for Atlanta homebuyers. They crave locations that encourage a live-work-play mentality, such as West Midtown or closer to Alpharetta. Buyers want the convenience of restaurants, shopping and recreation within walking distance of their homes. Other trends include abundant outdoor living and larger, accessible floor plans that accommodate multigenerational living.Preparing for the FutureEmerson emphasizes that consistent communication is how Harry Norman, REALTORS® stays ahead in an ever-changing housing market. The brokerage invests in weekly check-ins with agents to discuss best practices and emerging trends, as well as an annual leadership retreat to prepare for the following year.Emerson said, “It’s all about transparency and building trust with clients.”Georgia may be experiencing a temporary slowdown in new residents, but improved market conditions and a balanced inventory cycle will position the state to reclaim its appeal as a top relocation destination quickly. Emerson notes that the region’s thriving job market remains a powerful draw, consistently attracting new hires to the state.Tune in to the full episode to discover what’s next for the Atlanta housing market. For more information about Harry Norman, REALTORS®, visit www.HarryNorman.com.About Harry Norman, REALTORS®Harry Norman, REALTORS® is the oldest residential real estate and first woman-owned brokerage in Georgia.

Infill Housing: Fast Alone, Far Together

Van Hardimon, president of 3384 Residential, Inc. and Van Hardimon Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how infill development supports housing affordability in metro Atlanta.3384 Residential3384 Residential delivers a comprehensive approach to residential construction across metro Atlanta, managing both for-profit and non-profit projects. From initial rezoning and land disturbance to entitlements, easements, vertical construction, dispositions and warranties, the company provides stakeholders and financial partners with a meticulously organized development schedule and consistent support.Hardimon said, “Our development partners can focus on what they do best, which is bringing financing to a project.”3384 Residential is currently building in three categories:Nonprofit Development: The company collaborates with local nonprofit organizations in Atlanta to provide affordable housing, including projects with the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership and the Atlanta Land Trust.Established Investor and Landowner Partnerships: 3384 Residential works with property owners to add value to their existing properties.Speculative Development: While 3384 Residential primarily takes on client-commissioned projects, 20% of its portfolio consists of speculative developments. These self-funded ventures proactively contribute vital new housing to the Atlanta area.Infill Housing & AffordabilityHardimon describes attainable housing as being “within 10% of the assumed mortgage amount” in a particular area. These units are single-family homes, whether attached or detached,” in the “comfort zone” of prospective buyers. It’s a reminder to buyers that, if they can rent and feel comfortable in an area, they can afford to own a home there.“With patience and professionalism, this [infill] approach will support housing affordability when the City of Atlanta aligns with our vision through rezoning and replant approvals.”For 3384 Residential, infill housing development begins with communication. Hardimon emphasizes the need to inform neighbors, whether by knocking on doors or handing out detailed construction schedules. Offering opportunities for community members to profit from the process is another way to ensure a smooth transition, such as clean-up crews or temporary security positions.“We’re going to be belly-to-belly with them from anywhere from six months to one year, so it’s very helpful for them to know what’s coming,” said Hardimon. “As long as we break the ice on the front end, then we have an open channel of dialog throughout the construction process.”How does 3384 Residential keep costs down on infill housing projects? Land is one of the most significant costs in the development process. The lower the land price, the more flexibility builders have regarding timing, zoning, easements, entitlements, land disturbance permits and the final sales price.“The only way that we can achieve this is the ‘fast alone, far, together’ mindset,” said Hardimon. “When everyone contributes to their areas of expertise, the project becomes highly cost effective, allowing for more flexibility and pricing, which makes homes more attainable.”When designing a home, there are three non-negotiables: kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spaces. If a buyer doesn’t love even one of those elements, they are unlikely to purchase the home. 3384 Residential maximizes its construction budget to support daily use and maximize those three core spaces. Single-family homes often feature fenced backyards that offer security and ample green space, while townhomes include elevated decks that encourage outdoor living.Hardimon explains that 3384 Residential builds for the full spectrum of home shoppers, not just one “typical” profile. Its portfolio serves everyone from first-time homebuyers eager to own to active adults seeking a fresh start. The company also prioritizes locations with strong connections to local transportation, which is a significant draw for intown home shoppers.Campbell TenCampbell Ten, one of 3384 Residential’s standout achievements, is a 10-unit townhome community completed last fall. Located conveniently off I-285 and Langford Parkway, these 1,600-square-foot homes were designed with modern living in mind, featuring three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, rear decks, oversized kitchens and garages. Every home sold for $330,000 or less, underscoring the growing market desire for affordable infill housing, especially near public transit options like MARTA.Tune in to the full episode to discover more about how 3384 Residential incorporates infill housing into the Atlanta market.

He is passionate about creating quality homes that fit seamlessly into existing neighborhoods, while tackling the challenges of affordability and zoning head-on.
