I can’t believe I have a freshman and a senior! As the summer sun begins to set and the school bells start to ring, we embrace the excitement and energy of the new school year here in North Georgia. August is a time of fresh beginnings, not just for our children but for our entire community. It's a season filled with new opportunities, from meeting teachers and making new friends, to exploring new homes and neighborhoods. I am excited to bring you our August newsletter packed with updates and local highlights.

In this edition, I’ll introduce you to a fabulous new restaurant that is perfect for the whole family. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the luxury and charm of Italy, and I can't wait to share some of the highlights and insights from this unforgettable trip. I spotlight upcoming local events that promise to be a great way to celebrate the end of summer and the start of the school year. Finally, stay informed with my comprehensive market update, providing you with the latest trends and insights in our local real estate market.

Thank you for being a valued part of our community. Here’s to a fantastic start to a successful school year! - Dani

The North Georgia real estate market continues to demonstrate its resilience and dynamism across various price segments. Here’s a detailed look at the current landscape:

Properties Below $500K
This segment remains vibrant with a healthy turnover. We currently have about a three-month supply of homes, indicating strong buyer interest and consistent sales activity. If you're looking to buy or sell in this range, the market conditions are favorable and offer plenty of opportunities.

Properties $500K - $1M
In this middle tier, the inventory has increased slightly, leading to longer days on market. Homes in this category are now averaging over 90 days before selling. While this suggests a more competitive market, it also provides buyers with more options to consider and sellers with a slightly extended timeline to find the right buyer.

Properties Over $1M
Interestingly, the luxury market has seen a positive shift. Inventory in the $1M plus category has decreased to just under eight months, a notable improvement. Even more impressive is the reduction in the average days on market, which has fallen to below 40 days. This swift turnaround time signals robust demand and a strong market for high-end properties.
    This favorable trend in the luxury segment is a promising sign for the North Georgia market, reflecting a growing confidence among high-end buyers and an increased pace of transactions.

Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market, these insights underscore the dynamic nature of real estate in North Georgia. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out.

My entire life I’ve dreamed of visiting Italy. This year, it happened! My stepdaughter, Catherine, studied abroad in Metz, France, through Georgia Tech this summer. I took advantage of this opportunity and we planned our annual girls’ trip to Lake Como this year. It was everything I’d dreamed of and more. I spent a few extra days exploring, sightseeing, and shopping in Milan. It was a trip of a lifetime for me and one of the main reasons I work so hard, to have great experiences with my children.
