While there’s still a month left in 2017, looking back on a year-over-year basis November-to-November, Buckhead’s High-Condo Market has done pretty well. In the 23 buildings I track, sales are up 7% (360 to 385) and the average price per square foot is up 4.3% ($337 – $352).
Buildings that showed the largest increase in price/square foot were predominately comprised of entry-level or first time condo buyers. This is great news, and it’s exactly what you want to see in a healthy real estate market. As first time buyers generate equity in homes, they begin to move up to higher priced homes, stimulating demand across the market.
Here are a few of the biggest winners in Buckhead’s High-rise Condo Market this year:

o Buckhead Village Lofts – up 13%, from $252 to $285
