THE MARKET HERE

It's better than you read about in the newspaper. True, the real estate market in Athens and Limestone County is not as good as it was in 2007 and the early months of 2008, and it is best characterized as a buyer's market. That said, due to this area's employment record exceeding so many other areas, and the growth prospects of 2010 because of the BRAC, our market has held up better than most. If you are not familiar with the term "BRAC," ask me.
