Job Market Cooled Off But Still Stable. During the 1990s and 2000s the job market brought many relocating buyers to Metro Atlanta. This job growth fueled a lot of new home construction and renovation of formerly run down neighborhoods as the demand for newer housing reached all time highs.
The job growth has cooled but fortunately most of the job market is stable in Metro Atlanta in large part because of the diverse industry that calls Atlanta Home.
Atlanta Housing Market Has Not Experienced Significant Declines Like Other U.S. Cities. Thus far Metro Atlanta housing has largely avoided the huge losses in value experienced by other US cities. Declines have been significant in the Condo market and the demand for new housing has declined to record low levels. However, in place single family housing in most Metro Atlanta markets has managed to retain most of the “pre bubble” housing values.
