A Word from 2021 Atlanta REALTORS® President Cynthia Lippert:
“The theme throughout 2021 of rising prices and desperately low inventory have challenged sales figures month after month despite an all-time high of activity, “ reported Cynthia Lippert, 2021 President of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association as inventory in November was 25% lower than this time last year. “Buyers may be hoping to take advantage of a seasonal lull in activity, but we’ve yet to see one, and until we get more supply of housing across price points, we’re not going to see one anytime soon.”
