            <title>North Cobb Inventory Disappearing?</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Today was the eye opener that I've been waiting for...

All the doom and gloom of record foreclosures and burgeoning inventory aside, it seems there are not enough &quot;nice&quot; homes to satisfy demand in the $150k-$200k price range. One new home community (yes, they still exist) in North Cobb had UNDER CONTRACT signs on 90% of its properties! John Adams reported in his weekly column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the best time to buy may be coming to an end. This weeks interest ra... ]]> </description>

            <title>Atlanta Real Estate Inventory Down 10% from 2008</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Many sources have predicted that the Atlanta housing market would hit bottom and begin a slow but steady recovery in late 2009.

            <description> <![CDATA[
