I don't get it.

All that article says is that it's not actually true that real estate sells better in the spring than in the winter.

It says November and December have been the best months of this year, but it doesn't give any data comparing them to the same time last year.

Am I missing something?

Written by a realtor, based on what other realtors she knows are telling her!

Even official data released by NAR was revised by over 10% downwards, for the last 3+ years. Should I trust what an Atlanta realtor says based on hearsay, about Atlanta real estate?

Your statement indicates that you think Atlanta's demise is real. I agree with you.

Nice try.Demise in that it is not as it once was.It has declined from it previously continued growth .So it is premature and exaggerated that there that there is something substantial to this as a permanent position.I believe it is not.

Who likes to talk about Charlotte? They've faced a much more serious local blow with their banks and their much higher than average employment in that sector.

By the way, nobody seriously is talking of Atlanta's "demise."
