I’ve lived in the Atlanta area my entire life and in Lawrenceville for 3 years. I never said Lawrenceville is Atlanta. However, when you speak to anyone who isn’t from the area about where you live, you tell them you are from Atlanta not Lawrenceville, because no one outside of Atlanta knows where Lawrenceville is. But thanks for watching 😀

?? Are you talking about the real estate market?? Median sales price is up 5.4% from last year. How is this nosediving? Not really sure what numbers you are looking at or what you mean by nosediving.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy I study real estate markets. From a technical analysis standpoint not a fundamental analysis standpoint. Which are flawed for the most part. Cash flow wise Atlanta not the deal. The real deep pocket buyers know this.

@@jermon983 Ok. Fundametal analysis is not flawed, just more suitable to longterm investments most of the time. And I personally always see real estate more as a long term investment. Please feel free to share your viewpoint from a technical analysis why you think the market is nosediving. I'm always interested in seeing markets from different angles but some data would be helpful for me to understand your viewpoint.

I think it depends on what you are looking for. Both are good options. Duluth is more affordable. Both have great town centers. Suwanee has higher ranking schools on different websites you can find (though school rankings can vary and I think they can show an aspect of schools but I don't think its a full story). I think Duluth has a little more to do in and around the area. But Suwanee has a greenway if you like to be outdoors. If you contact me directly via email, call or text with what specifically you are looking for in an area I can better direct you as to which may be a better match to what you are looking for.

You are 1000 percent correct. Blacrock has done this in all of Georgia. Just inside thd atl area alone they are sitting on 13,000 house. The number expands drastically the further you spread out. Go one or two steps out from Atlanta and the number goes up close to 50,000. Thereby propping up a faulty system. There 10 c0mpanies that own most of America so they are controlling this bull crap. They are creating this inflation where now houses are double and higher the price they were in 2019. When they created this fake reason to push this inflation to try to save our monetary system of control. This is all so sickening and deceitful.

I am with you, I don't think it is sustainable. And it is so difficult for any first time home buyer right now without help. I think a slow down will come in a year or two, then some stagnation and then a drop in prices if we can get inventory up. I actually think because prices are so high, that if we can get inventory up to 4-5 months, that prices will start to come down. Even though that is technically still a sellers market, I think that would be enough inventory to stagnate or reverse the pricing surge. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy Seems like Atlanta just keeps attracting people too. Especially the metro area. People from up north still see it as an inexpensive market. Everything is relative, I suppose. We want to retire back up there, but now just seems like the time to build cash positions and work on building equity. Keep up the good work! You have dedicated (albeit quiet) viewers. People are looking for balanced, non-partisan voices that feel comfortable keeping things neutral. I appreciate it.

Prices are what the market dictates. I do think we will see a market correction eventually, but I think we are a few years away from that unless something major happens. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy Normally prices are mostly dictated by individual buyers looking to purchase a home as a primary residence. However in this current market the prices have been artificially manipulated by the influx of big corporations and investors buying up properties at inflated prices. This creates a shortage of homes for individual buyers and price increase due to forced creation of demand and sellers including investors pushing prices up on sales and rent. There needs to be legislation to prevent big corporations and investment companies from buying up multiple single family properties.

​@@soccersprintYou are 1000 percent correct. By creating the shortage you are creating the inflation. One of these companies gave my sister $50,000 over the actual value of her house in 2019. So she sold it to them as they were buying many houses in her HOA neighborhood. I have observed entire neighborhoods of brand new owned by blacrock. They claim they are for rent yet the rent is to high for people to even rent. So every driveway is empty as know one is living in a single one of these houses. They invent new ways to screw us daily while propping up a failing currency using debt as our system is completely debt based.

Buyers are defintely still buying which is why we see prices continue to rise. You should check out my latest video where I talk about renting vs buying specifically in the Atlanta area. Value in renting vs buying is discussed in detail and if you are going to buy, I talk about how long you need to stay in a home to make it worth buying.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I try to keep it real and just bring the facts.

Very useful information!

Thanks

First I want to say I am sorry those situations happened to you. Situations in life can definitely direct our views. As a real estate agent and a Realtor I cannot and will not push anyone towards an area or away from an area based on demographics or protected status. There are strict laws against steering in real estate (which I agree with them being in place) and if I violated those I could lose my license to practice real estate. What I can say is I have now lived in Duluth for almost 15 years (2 in some apartments and almost 13 at my current home) and I have never had any issues with anyone whether it be at my own home and neighborhood or anywhere around Duluth. I live in a very diverse neighborhood (Asian, African American, Latino, Eastern European and White all represented) and I have never had any of the types of issues you are reffering to with any of them. So I can only speak from personal experience. I do suggest to anyone looking to buy in a specific neighborhood to walk the neighborhood and drive it on different days and times. This can get you more familiar with a neighborhood. Sometimes it can show you if there is more traffic than you would like coming through the neighborhood. Sometimes it can show if a neighbor likes to throw loud parties. Talk with neighbors to get their take on the neighborhood. We are a buyer beware state so knowing all you can about a neighborhood and home is important. As a realtor I focus on your needs and desires in a home, the value of that home, issues that may come up with a home, business and entertainment in and around the area they may interst you, what is most important to you in a home and resale value. I can answer plenty of questions about the area as well. Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to call or email me. My contact info is in the description of the video.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy Thanks. I understand it is a difficult question to ask and answer without being branded racist, which I think is a huge problem in our society because you can't say anything without offending people. If you have no had any issues in 15 years that sounds positive.

Thanks for watching and commenting

Next time you see me out and about filming feel free to say hey.

The amount of credit building up and a lack of savings is definitely a concern. I am also concerned about the $0 down loans making a come back. Thanks for wathcing and commenting.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy omg I just read something about this yesterday and it's like come on people haven't we already learned from this mistake already. My opinion it almost seems predatory in nature because of the lack of financial literacy among most homebuyers who would need $0 down to purchase a home. I don't know if they truly understand the risks associated with that type of purchase and/or also understand that it's not free money but a secondary loan on the house. In a market where home prices are starting to show some risk of correcting, the last thing you want to do is own a home with no equity (at high mortgage rates) and see the price of the home fall. Sure if you're in it for the long-term, the equity will eventually come back positive. However, when the mortgage rates fall in the short term the buyer is unable to refinance because they have 0 or negative equity in the home.

If you do decide to make that move to PTC, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to talk more about Peachtree Corners or any other cities in and around Atlanta you may be interested in moving to.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy I will. Thank you!

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching!

Ok. Is that a good thing? Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks very much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. If you know anyone looking to buy or sell send them my way, I’d love to help them.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

Online safety scores for Johns Creek are way off. It’s one of the safest cities in all of Atlanta.

Thanks for watching!

So I had to pull my own numbers since Sandtown is an area and not a city. With that said it seems like the median price for a home is around $539,900. That would put the monthly payment of a home with 20% down and 7% interest around $3540. That would require a monthly income of $11,800 and a yearly income of $141,600. Hope this was helpful and if you have any questions let me know.

I read all comments on my videos and this one caught me off gaurd. I went back and watched and I do a strange squint when reading this statistic you are referring to. I also do this squint a few time in other places in the video. I think I just have strange facical expressions sometimes I make when I am reading off a tellepromter on my phone. I don't always use a tellepromter often but when I have to remember stats and other facts I will use one. WIth that said, my expression has nothing to do with reading a stat dealing with the African american population in Lawrenceville. As stated earlier in the video I love the diversity of Lawrenceivlle. I currently live in Duluth which is also very diverse and one of the reasons that we love Duluth is because of that diversity. There are multiple reasons for my desire to live in a diverse community. Which I would be happy to share if you would like me to. So any experssion you picked up on has nothing to do with anything other than I have strange facial expressions sometimes which I think deal with reading the telleprometer on my phone and possibly needing so new glasses. In the end I did see what you saw and I hope this clarifies it for you. If you have any further questions or thoughts I would be most welcome to hear you out and respond if needed/wanted. And I thank you for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and your comments. There was supposed to be a lot more broll (video of the house) and less me talking but there were some issues with some of the video taken in the house. Thus more of my face and less of the house. I did my best with what did work in terms of showing the houses. As always I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I definitely love the changes that have been happening too. Now if they can just do something wonderful with Gwinnett Mall.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

I’ve heard about a bubble for 4 years now. I’m not sure a bubble is going to happen (though I don’t think anyone knows for sure). Hard to see a bubble with such low inventory. And people are leaving NAR for two reasons. Hard market right now because there are much fewer buyers and sellers so fewer deals. But still more buyers than we have homes to sell. The other reason are the NAR lawsuits.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I always appreciate different points of view.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy I think you pointed out in your video that the job numbers are constantly being revised down. We are starting to see unemployment tick up, and when people can’t pay their mortgages the gap between what they want to sell their home for and needing to sell their home will close. Also, as noted in your video, there is a large gap between average P/E ratios and where they are today. We know it is not sustainable. We are just starting to see the match lighting the fuse.

I agree with both of those thoughts. The issue is I don’t think it’s a bubble. I don’t think we will see any massive drops in price in Atlanta. Inventory is still the massive roadblock to price drops. And with so many people having equity in their homes and low rates from before 2022, there is no reason for anyone to have to sell at a low price. They don’t have to move which is why we are seeing so few homes on the market. So even if we do start to see layoffs, there doesn’t seem to be massive layoffs coming and those with equity may use that equity to sustain for a while if need be. I think it’s much more likely to just see stagnation with the housing market for the second year in a row.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy Mortgage applications are at a 30 year low. Inventory is not the issue, it is that people cannot afford to purchase homes at their current prices and have essentially opted out. Real estate like other assets move in cycles, and I think we can agree they have reached their all time highs. The next direction the housing market is moving in is obvious and there will be an equal opposite reaction to reset the market back to equilibrium.

Yes, I was aware a while back that somehow Chattahoochee HS got left out🤦🏼‍♂️. Chattahoochee is a great HS. Unfortunately I can’t edit it into the video once the video is published on CZcams.

Hey. I can help with rentals. Most of the time what ends up happening is I connect clients with the listing agent and they handled everything. If need be I step in to do more. I usually just stick to buying and selling but I am always willing to help anyone out whether it’s buying and selling or renting. Please feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to help and talk more about the Atlanta area. My email is jonathanmccoy3@gmail.com and my cell number is 678-894-4088

You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. I try to bring what I teach to my clients to my youtube videos.

Well if you are looking to sell your house in Lawrenceville I’d be happy to help. The area is in high demand.

No it is not you barley even see black people downtown

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

If you need help connecting with a realtor in central Florida let me know, I can connect you with a few.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy thank you I will keep in touch starting the first of the year. Looking to make that transition by summer.

Glad you enjoyed Duluth. Its such a fun place to live.

@@AtlantasRealMcCoy super fun!

So my first thoughts would be Duluth and Lawrenceville. After that I would say Alpharetta is a possibility. Feel free to send me an email or give me a call and I can talk with you more about different areas that may work for you. Email is jonathanmccoy3@gmail.com and phone is 678-894-4088
