The last edition of the newsletter came out in the Fall of 2017 so there’s a lot of cool updates, such as:
- The Fulton Montessori School launches at Calvary United Methodist Church
- An important discussion on selling or not selling.
- First, the opportunity to sell a home, particularly in Greater Fulton, is increasing right now for a few reasons. Greater Fulton was an overlooked neighborhood for quite some time (…) many houses in Greater Fulton are still an affordable size (900-1300 sq. ft.) and price. There is a mixture of old and new residents, houses of many ages and types, and proximity to parks and other services, particularly if one has a vehicle. This is all attractive to young home buyers and those looking for a strong return on their investment in the future.
These factors make it an appropriate time to sell a home, but there are reasons not to sell immediately as well. Just like an investment that is worth a smaller amount right now, if it is held on to for a while longer, it may be worth much more in the future.
