The bank that owned the foreclosed houses had no choice but to pay the city of Atlanta so they could unload their inventory.  

I've been in contact with a HUD agent, but the inventory is next to none it seems.

There is limited inventory and off-market listings are hard to find.

It has gotten to point where I see $500k multis in church hill and almost the same price in the fan, but seems people have caught onto this and the inventory in the fan has basically dropped to zero

I'm assuming that since it's winter the inventory is a bit low. 

There are also new laws against tearing down “historic” homes, so the inventory for buying property for new builds is lower now.

Most apartment complexes are close to full occupancy.Downtown rental inventory expected to grow by more than 10 percent in each of the next two years.Downtown rent prices last year grew by 8.2 percent to a record $1.34 per square foot.

Low inventory and high prices for auction and repairs make this much tougher right now.

We have credible buyers who have shown financials and are ready to go.So a developer gives a receptive call when you actually have clients and are not someone trying to build inventory to look credible etc.

I guess we should prepare for the inventory decrease.
