Despite 2015’s strong housing industry performance, the year has gotten off to a slower start. As a result, Atlanta’s residential real estate index, The Cal-Culator, dropped marginally from 7.0 to 6.9.
Home sales saw the second smallest year-over-year increase since 2014, while the NAHB’s Housing Market Index dipped. However, improvements in home prices – a 5.8 percent yearly increase in Georgia – and a 40 percent increase in Atlanta inventory helped offset the losses.
