As you can see, homes in the $100,000 to $160,000 range are predominant right now.  Some of this can be accredited to the 1st time Home Buyer Tax Credit of up to $8000 that is available through 11/30/2009.  This price range is typically considered "affordable housing", and is moving quite well.  We are even seeing "bidding wars" and multiple offers in this range right now.

Activity in the upper price ranges has been very stagnant, which still says something good about the general economy in Athens, GA.  Although not many homes are selling, not many sellers are desperate enough to give their home away, which helps to maintain values overall.
