Mountain Man: We are in Atlanta, specifically Brookhaven (or North Buckhead). The market was stagnant for a while, but lately houses in my neighborhood are on the market for less than 30 days and are selling for very close to asking price (within 4 or 5K of asking). We would put it on the market now, but I would like to paint the exterior trim (I got a little crazy with the pressure washer a few weeks ago) and clear out the basement (and maybe even paint it, though its unfinished, I feel like painted concrete looks a little "cleaner").
I know your area well, and yes homes are selling very, very fast. I don't know what kind of repairs you need, but I will tell you it should take my guys no longer than 2 weeks to have your place done top to bottom. Yes we have a shortage of inventory in the area now, and there is a large company with 500+ corporate employees that will be moving into Atlanta this summer. Waiting until Fall may not be in your best interest.
