Team leader, Mary Ellen Vanaken states "We are primarily in a sellers market in North Atlanta right now, but there is plenty of opportunity for home buyers as well. Rates continue to be low and we are seeing more home loans being approved every day. And believe it or not, homes are selling even during the holiday season. Homeowners realize that there are several key reasons why they should list their North Atlanta home today. They will have fewer showings. This is good because those people that are looking for houses to purchase during the holidays are much more serious buyers. Serious home buyers are putting aside time to pursue their home search during one of the busiest times of the year. And January is a big time for relocating- most companies that have to move or relocate employees target January for those moves. That means housing decisions are being made in November-December, during the holidays. Again, these are motivated buyers with a hard deadline."

Although The Mary Ellen Vanaken Team specializes in luxury homes of North Atlanta, their team also works with first time home buyers as well.
