About What's New™ 

What's New™ was born from the savvy minds of a new homes team with over 30 years of experience in the real estate industry. Specializing in new home sales, they noticed in 2020, when housing inventory plummeted, that homebuyers began to feel anxious and pressured about where to purchase their next home.

What's New™ realized there was an opportunity to help homebuyers see what they could see—that the new homes market was still moving dirt and building neighborhoods, but because these homes weren’t listed yet, nobody knew about them!

So the solution was simple… show Buyers what’s coming!

With that insight, What’s New™ was launched and is now available to be replicated in new markets around the southeast.

Our Mission

Our Mission

1
Helping Homebuyers
Now, What’s New Atlanta is an award-winning website, video and social media platform created to help homebuyers learn about Coming Soon communities being built by some of metro Atlanta’s best homebuilders. We want to bring the neighborhoods to life that are in the early phases of construction. These homes are not for sale yet but should be within 4-6 months. Since many buyers start shopping for a home 6 months to a year in advance, this timing works perfectly!

Early Construction Phase
These homes are not for sale yet but should be within 4-6 months. Since many buyers start shopping for a home 6 months to a year in advance, this timing works perfectly! Each video includes an onsite tour of a brand-new community with insight from the on-site sales team or the builder. New segments are added frequently to the website and What’s New Atlanta YouTube channel. Better yet, you have the option to join our VIP list to receive the earliest information on your choice communities.
3
Be The First to Know
We continue to experience a critical shortage in Atlanta housing inventory and being able to share new Coming Soon neighborhoods with home buyers and realtors remains our top priority. So, join the WNA VIP list for one for the neighborhood you have interest in and stay in the know as you move through the homebuying process.
