For aspiring homeowners in the Atlanta area, now is the time to examine the market and determine if you are better off buying a place or renting for a duration of time. The Atlanta Business Chronicle wrote a recent piece debating the current state of the market and the way to tell what’s right for you. In markets throughout the country, such as Atlanta, real estate cycles are present and in full swing. The lack of new construction in many markets has resulted in increased demand with less supply.

The Atlanta movers find one valuable piece of information to consider is current rental rates and future rates.  Property value is an important assessment as well. What are your needs as a homeowner? Will they change in the next few years? Do you plan to expand your family/move? Consider what you envision for yourself and determine how much flexibility you need for moving on a whim or expanding your square footage for new members of the family.
