Catalyst Home Team Atlanta Homes & Lifestyle

How’s the real estate market right now?? It’s a question I get daily! Here’s some insight as we head into another year with the pandemic. The pandemic has intensified a sense of home as refuge and falling mortgage rates have made financing a home purchase historically inexpensive. ... As a result, though, demand for homes has SURGED while the supply of homes for sale has fallen to near record lows in most desirable areas and definitely in lower price points (under $400k in metro Atlanta), resulting in rapid house price appreciation. The market is still HOT for seller’s to cash in on strong equity! Buyers face tough completion in multiple offers, often pushing sales prices higher than the list price. If you’d like to review the equity position in your home to consider if 2021 is the right to move up or downsize, we’d love to schedule a virtual or in person appointment to help guide you! See more

It’s easier in this intense COVID-19 environment to feel like what we’ve done // haven’t done is a failure - a mistake, missing the mark, not hitting a set goal. When you’re a leader, though, failure is your friend. In leadership, it’s not a question of if you fail, it’s a question of whenand how you respond. No successful person becomes a success without failure. It’s impossible. There’s no such thing as a life without setbacks, mess-ups, and flat-out face plants. If everything worthwhile is uphill (and it is), it’s inevitable that somewhere along the way your foot is going slip, or the ground is going to shift beneath you, no matter how careful you are with your steps. So...how are you making failure your friend during these extra-trying days?
