Though home prices are still increasing across the United States, the rate of growth is slowing, according to the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices.

In the second quarter, Gwinnett County was once again head and shoulders above its neighbors in terms of housing starts, closings and lot deliveries, according to a new report. 

The new executive previously served as vice president of development at Atlanta-based Lincoln Property Co. 

The online real estate platform Opendoor noted the Dekalb County city’s small-town feel and plentiful outdoor spaces in explaining its selection. 

The communities encompass 243 homesites and are located in Dallas, Winder and Homer. 

Located at 500 Pleasant Hill Road NW, the development experienced organic rental-rate growth of more than 18% over the last year. 

The community, Avenue 33 Apartments, was built in 1999 and is located at 3386 Mount Zion Road. 

Michelle Humes Group, Mark Spain Real Estate, the Justin Landis Group and Atlanta Communities Real Estate Brokerage made the annual revenue-based rankings. 

About 30 of the homes have already been sold, according to the developer, Ashton Woods. 

Off-market real estate app DropOffer is moving into six new markets, including Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, Dallas, Charlotte and Tampa.

In Atlanta, 41.6% of offers faced competition last month.

The promotions come on the heels of the promotion of DeAnn Golden to president and CEO. 

The real estate company is also reportedly involved in the $2 billion High Street mixed-use project in Dunwoody. 

The building, proposed by LV Collective, would house 480 units on the top 27 stories. 

The move comes less than six months after the builder, McKinley Homes, brought in a full-time sales staff and boosted property tours. 

The seller, Hudson Capital Properties, acquired the property for $68.2 million in 2016.
