Summary Of 2009 Closings

This report shows all the closed sales for each month.  In addition, I show the "Original List to Sale Ratios" which reflect the original list price of the property.  It is common for list prices or MLS numbers to change.  This provides a good sense of the original pricing versus the final closed pricing.  As you can see, there is a wide variance in these ratios. 

More importantly, I am providing the "Last Sale to Current Sale Price Ratio" which reflects the last sale from the tax records compared to the recent closed sale price.  This is a much better indicator of the trends for Sugarloaf Country Club real estate values.  As you can see, short sales & foreclosures are having a significant impact on our home values.  

I have additional ratios and detailed information available for my clients.  Please contact me if you would like to learn more details about Sugarloaf Country Club real estate and your opportunity to make the best decision to buy or sell.

Listing Inventory
- 84 properties are currently for sale in Sugarloaf.  Listing inventory has continued to remain lower than this time last year.  For metro Atlanta, listings are down 28% from the previous year.  Many sellers continue to wait on the sidelines given the aggressively priced competiton from bank-owned properties, short sales and corporate relocation properties.  The average number of listings for 2008 was 122 properties with numbers around 140 properties in the spring and summer months.  In 2006, there was an average of 68 for sale.  In 2007, the average number of properties for sale was 85.          

Sugarloaf Foreclosures - The Atlanta Foreclosure Report shows 5 more Sugarloaf properties that were given “notices of default” and scheduled for the February auction.  It is clear that all the forms of foreclosures (builder short sales, builder foreclosures, residential short sales, bank-owned properties) plus certain corporate relocation & company-owned properties are having a significant impact on the real estate values for Sugarloaf. 

Contact me to learn what this means for Sugarloaf home values
and how appraisers will use this information in the future.


Contact me
to learn about my Sugarloaf Country Club Foreclosure Report.  This report includes all the details of the latest pre-foreclosures, auctions, bank-owned, private auction and company-owned properties.       

Sugarloaf Home Values - Since the peak of July 2007, metro Atlanta home values are down 17.99 according to the latest S&P Case-Shiller Index.  However, since the low point in March 2009, metro home values have actually gained 4.81% which erases some of the previous drop in value.  Sugarloaf home values have not been immune to declines as evidenced by the closing details listed in this report.  The average original list price to sales price ratio for 2008 was 88%.  In 2009, that average has dropped to 82% driven down primarily by aggressive pricing from short sales, foreclosures and corporate relocation properties.  When compared to the previous sold prices, Sugarloaf homes are selling for 74% of the last recorded sold prices.  It is important to remember that foreclosures typically need significant repairs and maintenance to get back in proper condition.  Many resales have also been updated and upgraded so these are often not reasonable comparisons.  Buyers are looking for great deals and finding them.


This is an excellent time for Trade-In and Move-Up Buyers!  If you purchase a home for less than $800,000, you may be eligible for a $6,500 tax credit.  These low prices and low mortgage rates will not last forever. Contact me for details of my "hot list"of properties.
