How to Find the Best Place to Live in Atlanta – Part 4

January 14, 2008

With words like “upsize” and “downsize” having recently entered the popular lexicon, and with Atlanta new home construction at an all-time high, being realistic about your housing needs – and overall living expenses – is also important.

Think about the home you now live in:

• What is its current market value?
  
• What is your equity?
• How large is your home – in square feet, number of bedrooms, kitchen, etc.?




• Is it too large or too small?
  




• Are you looking to “downsize” or “upsize”?

Comparatively speaking, home costs in Atlanta are less than they are in California, the Northeast and Midwest.

Establishing a realistic budget or consulting a mortgage consultant may help in regard to finances.
