Despite a soft market, homes continue to sell in Amberfield

The Anderson Group, an Atlanta based team of realtors with Keller Williams Realty First Atlanta, successfully closed the sale of a 3-story traditional home in Amberfield, a subdivision located in Norcross, Georgia. While real estate sales in metro Atlanta have declined year over year from 2006 to 2007, The Anderson Group has had an increase in the total number of listings taken and transactions closed from 2006 to 2007.

One of the primary reasons that home sales in Amberfield have remained strong, despite both a national and local decline in the housing market, is that Amberfied presents a significant buying opportunity for young families looking to upgrade from a starter home to a larger property in an established community. In addition to more square footage, potential buyers are attracted to Amberfield because of the quality and signature design aspects of the properties. Unfortunately, many homes have remained on the market for an extended period of time in Amberfield because of over-pricing and poor marketing. In a down market, exposure is the key to selling property quickly and at the highest price.

The Anderson Group has worked in Amberfield for many years and believes that it will continue to be a great location for buyers and sellers because of the quality craftsmanship of the properties, the strength of the community, and its proximity to all of metro Atlanta’s major destinations.

Tom Anderson, Team Leader of The Anderson Group, thinks that future property appreciation is another strong attribute of homes in Amberfield. "Amber field, like many Atlanta and Norcross neighborhoods, will continue to appreciate as the population in Atlanta grows. But given its close proximity to all of Atlanta's major business centers, Norcross and Amberfield could see an additional bump in appreciation simply because it is conveniently located and offers a strong community desirable to both families and individuals."
