HomeGain Releases Georgia Home Prices Survey Data

Posted by: Louis Cammarosano on March 30th, 2009

Earlier this month, HomeGain released the results of a nationwide survey of nearly 700 HomeGain current and former Realtor members. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and the impact of the Obama stimulus package.  On this real estate blog we published the national and regional results.

The HomeGain member home values survey received national coverage and the results were noted in US News, Dallas Morning News, Boston Globe, Crane’s Investment News, Sellsius, Dallas Magazine, Orange County Register, RIS Media, Philadelphia Daily News, the Sarasota Herald Tribune, AOL’s Wallet Pop, St. Petersburg Times, Boston Real Estate BlogReal Trends, Realtor Magazine, Inman News,Transparent Real Estate , Agent Genius and other blogs.

Today we are releasing the Georgia home prices survey data. In the past few weeks we published the New YorkTexasCalifornia ,Illinois and Florida data.

The Georgia Realtor home prices survey indicates that only 5% of home buyers think that homes are fairly priced vs. 18% of home buyers nationally. Thirty two percent of Georgia home buyers think that homes are overpriced by 10-20%, the same as the national average.

Conversely, 45% of Georgia home sellers, as do home sellers nationwide, believe that Realtors under valued their homes by 10-20%.

I think it is odd that the survey kind of contradicts itself. But I do think now is the time to invest, people still believe property prices are going down so if they are currently a seller then there will be some bargains, perfecting your negotiation technique is key at the minute.
