Is the Buckhead housing inventory sitting at a healthy rate?
Healthy inventory is defined as being under 18 months of homes or only enough homes to sell in that amount of time.
In the chart below, we see what the inventory looks like for homes for sale versus sold in the Buckhead zip code of 30327.
Looking at our current levels in 30327, we have approximately 12 months of inventory, so if sales remain constant this inventory should turn over in a year which is great news for Buckhead real estate.
Of course, this all varies by price point. At one point in the past couple of years, we had over 4 years of inventory over $2M in Buckhead. So it’s always best to look at the inventory levels in your particular price point when contemplating a sale.
One of things I’ve noticed this summer is that the banks don’t seem to have the large “shadow” inventory waiting to come on the market that the news has reported. I’ve seen articles talking about this slowdown and we may yet have another influx of this inventory, but there has been a dramatic decline of bank owned homes listed in Buckhead recently.
