Curtin Team Cares: Help Us Donate to Those in Need

Our public charity organization, Curtin Team Cares, is official, which means we need your help with ideas how we can help our community thrive.
 

As of February 20, our public charity organization Curtin Team Cares is now federally authorized to receive tax-deductible donations—we believe that money is good, for the good it can do the good it can do. Our mission is to help locally, wherever our assistance is most needed. In that vein, we’re also partnering with local schools to provide for students’ and families’ needs.

It’s my pleasure to announce that Homestretch, a group that guides homeless families toward permanent housing and lasting stability, is the very first recipient of a Curtin Team Cares donation.

Thalia, a leading organizer with Homestretch, says that our donation is going to do a number of things for our vulnerable community by providing people with food and assisting graduating residents in securing permanent homes. We could not be happier to help her organization further this excellent, necessary cause.

If you see someone in the community who needs help, we’re anxious to get going and get giving.

 

All the friends and forever clients of the Curtin team are invited to come alongside us in this journey to help those who need it by sharing your ideas, asking questions, and leaving comments and feedback in regard to ways we can put Curtin Team Cares to use.

If you see someone in the community who needs help, we’re anxious to get going and get giving.

For questions about Curtin Team Cares, or if you have suggestions about the uses to which our donations could be put, please reach out to us. We’d love to do our part to alleviate the struggles of those in need.

Comparing the Numbers From Our Micro and Macro Market

 

 

According to the latest numbers, homes are selling much faster.
What do the latest numbers say about our market?

As I mentioned in the last market update, inventory is starting to rise, and it’s something we’re keeping a close eye on. Additionally, more homes are selling than what we’ve seen in the past. Eight years ago, for example, only one out of 11 homes was sold. Right now, one out of every three homes is selling.

There’s a big difference between the macro and micro numbers of our marketplace, though, and I have a few charts to show you in the video above to demonstrate this.

At the 1:17 mark, you can see the latest numbers from a metro Atlanta market overview chart. In the $300,000 to $350,000 range, there is only three months’ worth of inventory, but that changes when you look at specific high school districts and cities. At the 1:50 mark, you can see the same type of chart for just the Roswell area, and in that one, the absorption rate for that same price range isn’t three months—it’s three weeks.

There’s a big difference between the macro and micro numbers of our marketplace.

 

The difference isn’t just exclusive to that price range, either. For the $601,000 to $750,000 price range in the metro market, there is 5.1 months’ worth of inventory. Here in Roswell, there’s just 3.6 months’ worth of inventory in that price range.

It’s also worth noting that the coolest markets in these two price ranges are John’s Creek, East Cobb, Sandy Springs, and Kennesaw, while the hottest markets in these price ranges are Roswell, Milton, and Alpharetta.

The bottom line is this: Our overall market is still healthy, but it’s more and more of a beauty pageant and a pricing war out there.

If you have any other questions about our market or you’d like a snapshot of the numbers in your local community, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to help you.
