Cobb Home Prices Down
(WSB Radio) -- How much has the economy hurt home values in the Atlanta area? Don't ask residents of Cobb County.
The median price of homes in the county is down 10 percent in the past year.
Numbers from the Georgia Multiple Listing service show the median price in Cobb in the 4th quarter is just under $185,000, compared to $205,000 last year.
Prices peaked last spring, at $216,000.
One realtor says the quality of the schools is helping to stem the decline in home prices.
What others are saying
- Cobb Home Prices DownThe economy isn't totally to blame. Consider the thousands of hispanics who don't keep up the property, have 20+ people living in a SINGLE FAMILY HOME and many who are likely here illegally. I pity the school teachers trying to teach students who speak little, if any, English. Wonder why the quality of our schools is declining? We need to take our country back before it's too late.
