Change In Atlanta Air From Katrina

The cooler dry winds of Autumn have already started to flow down from the Appalachians and the beginnings of orange tint to some of the leaves in some stately oaks in North Atlanta neighborhoods can be seen, leaving no doubt Summer will soon come to an end. With still near record low interest rates and a great supply of homes to choose from, our surging late summer activity levels are as brisk and welcome as our newfound cool morning breezes.

Part of this activity, of which we’re just now witnessing the leading edge, has been triggered by the huge displacement of people from their homes and jobs in our not-too-distant neighbors in Louisiana and Mississippi. Many have already joined family and friends throughout North Georgia. It’s reasonable, too, to expect many displaced corporate personnel and activities to be absorbed here beginning in fourth quarter 2005 taking up some of the slack we’ve been experiencing in corporate relocation in the region this year.

Change is in the air this month. Atlanta is well poised with a very reasonably priced market and relatively close proximity to absorb our disaster-struck neighbors and business relocations - continuing our steady growth in economic diversity and prosperity.
