Hello and welcome! I’m Odessa Patterson, your local Realtor® servicing the vibrant Conyers, Georgia area and the wider Atlanta metropolitan area. If you’ve been sitting on the idea of buying a home but feel nervous about taking that first step—this blog is for you.
Real Facts to Ground Your Decision
It’s easy to feel like the home-buying world is moving too fast, or that you’ve missed your chance. The truth? The market in Atlanta is shifting in your favor—and your opportunity is real.
The median home sold price in Atlanta in June 2025 was around $426,329, up about 1.7 % from a year earlier. (Rocket). According to Zillow, the typical home value in the city is approximately $392,310 (as of May 2025), with a 1-year value change of about -4.8 %. (Zillow). A recent market update reports that in the metro area, home sales in June 2025 hit 5,277—up about 8 % year-over-year—while inventory rose roughly 36.8 %, suggesting more choices for buyers. (Norada Real Estate). More than 61% of sellers in Atlanta are now offering concessions to buyers (e.g., closing-cost help, rate buy-downs, repairs) — a sign of growing buyer leverage. (FOX 5 Atlanta).
What does all this mean for you? It means the market is becoming more balanced, more accessible—and there’s never been a better time to explore your options.
Why So Many Buyers Feel Stuck
I hear it all the time: “I’m afraid I don’t know enough.” “What if I pick the wrong house?” “What if I can’t afford it?”
These are absolutely normal fears. Buying a home is big. But here’s the honest truth:
those fears shouldn’t stop you from at least starting the conversation. The steps to buying are more predictable than you think, and you don’t need to figure everything out on your own. Waiting for “perfect” can actually cost you—because once you decide, markets change, rates shift, and homes move quickly. The technology, financing tools, and professional support available today mean you can move forward more confidently—and
I’m here to guide you.
Your First Step: What I’ll Do (And How I Help)
If you’re ready—great! If you’re not quite ready—also great (that’s why I exist!). Here’s how we’ll work together:
Get to know you – What are your hopes, your timeline, your budget, your lifestyle?
Educate you – I’ll walk you through the process: from pre-approval, house-hunting whether it be in Conyers OR anywhere in Metro ATL, inspections, to closing. No surprises.
Show you options – With the market offering more inventory and seller flexibility, you deserve to see what’s out there.
Build confidence – You’ll hear every question, I’ll provide every answer, and you’ll always know your "why".
Walk you through the deal – Once you pick a home, I’ll be at your side: negotiating, coordinating, closing—and cheering you on.
A Few Words of Encouragement
You can buy a home. You can grow your wealth, build your future, and stop renting when you’re ready. The fear of what if is far less powerful than the regret of what if I waited too long. Maybe you’re thinking: “I should wait until rates drop more.” Fair. But what if—while you wait—the home you love goes off-market, or another buyer steps in? Or what if rates don’t drop much and you end up paying more later? Let’s instead consider: “What if I explore—at zero cost, no obligation—and find out if right now is the time for me?” That question is far less scary.
Let’s Talk (No Pressure)
I’m here for that call. I’m here for the text or the chat.
If you’re curious about homes in Conyers AND/OR the surrounding metro Atlanta area, if you’ve been wondering “what’s next?”—let’s talk. Together we’ll turn your fear into clarity and your dream into a plan.
Welcome to your home-buying journey. Let’s make it memorable—for all the right reasons.
