Hey guys, as the title suggests I started looking through the properties in Georgia as I plan to purchase a house in the next year or so however the price history on the realtor.com website is very weird. Price changes are sometimes extremely brutal, some houses even went from 110k$ to 20k$ between the years 2000-2010, as non-local I’m wondering has something bad happened over those years? Is there anything worth being aware of for the first-time property buyer in Georgia as a non-local? Did the prices skyrocket recently because of covid19?
Here are a few of my researches where you can find out some shady numbers:
https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/209-Oak-Hill-Dr_Jefferson_GA_30549_M60313-66758
sold 2002 – 115k$
sold 2009 – 78k$
https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2841-Gwinette-Dr_Macon_GA_31204_M59078-95244
sold 2006 – 112k$
sold 2016 – 77k$
sold 2007 – 55k$
price changed 2011 – 12k$
And these are just a few houses I looked up, I found a lot more recently but first I thought it could be a website bug maybe but now I spot more and more houses like that
Thanks a lot for your responses!
