According to a recent Bloomberg report, home prices are down in many major American cities–Atlanta included. Of 20 cities monitored by Standard & Poor’s index, 17 of them lowered home prices in September when compared to August.

Atlanta, San Francisco, and Tampa are among the cities with the biggest decline in prices. While this isn’t promising news for the local real estate market, the Atlanta movers want to remind you that it may be your time to buy!

At the opposite end of the poll, home prices rose in New York, Portland, and Washington.

Renters are more popular than ever, and it seems as though property management companies and landlords are looking to maximize the industry as much as possible. According to a recent article by the New York Times, the companies use a pricing tool similar to that of airlines, which compares pricing based on markets and competitors. So essentially, a computer will determine if your rent is raised.

The Atlanta movers want to remind you that just like with most technological advances, the trick is in knowing when to strike. The same pricing tools that monitor fluctuations in plane tickets also applied to apartment rents, so if you search buildings that are less popular or that a landlord is desperate to fill asap. Be smart and don’t show your desperation…regardless of your situation.

This week, the United States celebrates American Education Week, which is an annual event that aims to encourage students, parents, and faculty to get involved in the public education system. Within the week long event is another community geared happening called Principal for a Day, where area leaders swap places with over 60 local schools to see what being the principal entails.

The Atlanta movers wanted to share the list of participating schools, which can be seen here. The fill-in principals will handle everything from parent-teacher conferences, disruptive and disciplinary needs, and lunchroom duty, among other tasks. You can also view the informational site about the week and how you as parents and neighbors can contribute.

The US Census has released new reports that show the metropolitan Atlanta area as a popular area for people seeking to move. Over the past 10 years, the percentage of new residents has grown almost 28 percent. Consistently it is one of the top 10 regions of the United States in terms of population size and growth.

Atlanta appeals to many Americans as a place with a vibrant economy, a diverse population, family oriented areas, exceptional amenities, and low cost of living.

The Atlanta movers are confident that this area has something to offer everyone. Come see for yourself why Atlanta is one of the most popular cities in America and also one of the most urban areas of the Southern United States.

Despite a floundering real estate market throughout the nation, Atlanta movers have read that despite slowing down, Atlanta million dollar mansions are still selling. In Atlanta neighborhoods like Buckhead, there is hardly a shortage of glamorous and massive homes, such as one currently for sale for $12.5 million.

But for the millionaires who can afford it, the discounts are significant. Recently, a man bought a $9.5 million, 47,000 sq. ft home that was originally prices at $45 million.

The Atlanta movers want to remind you that there is no move too big or small–whether you’re moving into a mansion or an apartment, we are here for you!

Rents are up, despite cities still struggling with unemployment and economic crises. The only city to see a decrease in rental prices for the third quarter of 2011 was Las Vegas. With more Americans veering away from home ownership, vacancies in apartment complexes are at their lowest level since 2006.

The rise in rent seems inconsistent with wage cuts and job losses, so perhaps the trend will soon stop if the economy continues to weaken. Currently, the average rent in (and within 10 miles of) Atlanta is $994 per month. One bedrooms average at $894, and two bedrooms at $963, as of September 2009 according to Rent Jungle.

Atlanta’s city works has partnered with a home warranty company to help homeowners prepare for any potential water or sewer line damage they may encounter. Since homeowner’s insurance often doesn’t cover these things, many residents are surprised when they are denied coverage or benefits. Because of this, the city has urged homeowners to look into warranty plans to cover these damages.

Considering water and sewer repairs can run anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000, the monthly premiums under $10 a month seem to certainly be worth it. The Atlanta movers want to make sure you are protected! If you live in an area where the water lines are possibly older, you certainly want to look into the offerings on Utility Line Protection to see if you’re a fit. An extra $10 a year versus a lump payment of $2000+ should be motivation enough!

Atlanta has recently been announced as one of the top 10 cities in the U.S. with high-net worth residents.
