Deborah HarrisMore and more we are hearing positive predictions for the housing market for the second half of 2011, as well as certainly for 2012 and beyond. We are not necessarily hearing these predictions on the news, but from people out there actively working in the real estate industry. Is it true? Is the Atlanta real estate market heating up again? Have housing prices bottomed out? Is it really cheaper to own that to rent? Are we at the all time best in the affordability index? Are we in a seller’s market, buyer’s market or both?
