Johns Creek Homes and Real Estate

I like to compare the appreciation performance of the LA and the Atlanta Market. From 2012 - 2018, the two markets have performed similarly to one another. 2016, Atlanta's appreciation was slightly better than LA, and in 2017, LA's appreciation was slightly better than Atlanta. In 2018, the performance is the same at 1.7% appreciation from Jan 2018 to March 2018.

Atlanta is now 4.9% above the previous peak and Los Angeles is now 2.3% above the previous peak.

Since we all know real estate is cyclical... when do you think the next dip in Johns Creek will be?

And how are you protecting your assets?
 
IHO, I see a lot of similarities to the Nashville housing market here in Atlanta, except just at a much larger scale as we are the largest city in the south. The inventory levels in Metro Atlanta are extremely low at this time hovering around the 20k levels. You have to also look at the affordability scale between the median home price / median house hold income. Irvine is between 7-8, Bay Area is between 13-14, and the metro Atlanta is around 3-4. Think of this is a P/E ratio for real estate. I am extremely bullish of the future of the Atlanta market. I believe the best is yet to come in the future vs behind us.

What's the average commission rate over there to sell a home?  5%?  6%?  It's basically 4.5% to 5% for most realtors in Irvine now.
 
Sorry Trojan,
Didn't see this question until now. The average commission rate here is between 5 - 6%. Keep in mind that average home prices in Johns Creek is the 1/3 the cost of Irvine.

I still think Atlanta is in the running for HQ-2, although it may end up being Virginia. Any speculation on what an HQ-2 bump might be on homes in the area?

Yes. I believe Atlanta is still in the running for HQ2 Amazon. I will be even more excited if Atlanta wins Apple's HQ-2. Rumors are saying that Apple is leaning toward our sister city Raleigh, NC. Winning Amazon is definitely going to be positive for long term home values here.
