Atlanta, GA housing market

Volume tells the opposite story. Closings declined in eight of the twelve months, and the final three-month average of 702 sales per month was 29.7% below the opening three-month average of 998. Meanwhile, active listings climbed to 5,783 in August 2026 — the highest of the eleven months on record — and months of supply reached 9.02, also the year's peak. The pending-to-active ratio, which peaked at 0.2836 in May 2026, fell to 0.2039 in August 2026, the lowest reading of the period.

The defining tension of this market: prices held and even rose through most of the year, but the pool of buyers actively committing to purchases thinned as inventory accumulated. Sellers retained pricing power in the strongest segments, yet the widening gap between active supply and pending demand points to a market that became progressively more negotiable as the year wore on.

Volume and price pull in opposite directions here, and that divergence is the defining feature of Atlanta's geography. ZIP 30349 and ZIP 30331 each recorded roughly 490–727 sales at a $275,000 median — the affordable, high-turnover southwest corridor. At the other end, ZIP 30327 recorded the highest dollar volume in the city at $565.8 million and the highest median price at $1,585,000, while ZIP 30303 recorded the lowest median at $165,000. The gap between the most and least expensive ZIP medians is nearly tenfold.

The top-10 ZIPs by sales illustrate the split clearly:

Two patterns stand out. First, the highest-volume ZIPs are not the highest-dollar ZIPs: 30349 moves the most homes but ranks well down the dollar-volume list, while 30327 sells far fewer homes yet tops dollar volume. Second, the mid-market ZIPs — 30318, 30316, 30309 — combine moderate prices with steady turnover, which is where the bulk of Atlanta's transaction activity actually sits.

On the list side, the highest median list prices in the city belong to TUXEDO PARK (30305) at $4,995,000 across 15 active listings, followed by SANDY SPRINGS (30327) at $3,100,000 and ABERDEEN FOREST (30328) at $2,795,000. At the other end, WILDWOOD PARK (30331) carries the lowest median list price at $64,900, with WHITEHALL FOREST (30316) at $70,000 and PEYTON VILLAGE (30311) at $85,000.

Speed varies enormously. PARKWAY VILLAGES (30349) shows the fastest active listings at a median of 12 days on market, followed by MADISON PLACE (30349) at 14 days and DUNWOODY SPRINGS (30328) at 15. The slowest is VIO (30328), where active listings have sat a median of 561 days, followed by TRUST AT OAKLAND CITY (30310) at 470 days and PEYTON VILLAGE (30311) at 323 days.

Among subdivisions with enough closings to rank, COLLIER HILLS (30318) recorded the strongest sale-to-list ratio at 1.0689 across 5 closings, with a $995,000 median list price and just 0.84 months of supply — the tightest inventory position in the city. EDGEWOOD (30307) followed at 1.0213 and VIRGINIA HIGHLAND (30306) at 1.0190. The weakest was STONEHILL AT LENOX (30324) at 0.6341 across 3 closings, followed by KNOLLWOOD (30316) at 0.7763 and CROSS CREEK (30327) at 0.8061.

Supply conditions range from near-instant to deeply stalled. WAKEFIELD FOREST (30345) shows the lowest months of supply in the city at 0.74, with only 3 active listings, while GROVE PARK carries the highest at 71.5 months. BUCKHEAD (30327) holds the most active listings of any subdivision at 76.

By price band, the single largest $50,000 band is $250,000–$300,000, with 955 sales, or 9.4% of the market. The open-ended $1M+ band accounts for 1,489 sales, or 14.6% — a larger share than any single $50,000 band, though it spans a much wider price range and is not directly comparable to the narrower bands.

The practical takeaway: Atlanta's transaction activity is dispersed across dozens of ZIPs and hundreds of subdivisions rather than concentrated in a few. The market's center of gravity is the $250,000–$300,000 price band and the single-family home, but the high end — $1M and above — represents a substantial and distinct segment that behaves on its own terms.

Single family is the largest segment by transaction count of the four property types, the highest median price of the four, and the fastest of the four at a median of 23 days on market. Condos are the slowest of the four at 46 days — exactly double the single-family figure — and carry the highest median price per square foot of the three types with a measurable $/sqft figure, at $274 against $239 for single family. That inversion is the single most useful fact in this section: the cheapest segment by total price is the most expensive by the square foot.

The "Others" category — 355 sales, 3.5% of the market — is the weakest of the four on sale-to-list at 90.5%, the lowest of the four property types, and the second-slowest of the four at 43 days. That combination of a deep discount to list and a long marketing period suggests a segment where sellers are repricing to find the market rather than pricing to it.

What this means in practice. The condo will also take about two weeks longer to sell if the buyer ever needs to exit. A seller in the condo segment is competing against 2,128 other closings in twelve months and a 46-day median marketing period; a single-family seller is competing against 6,061 closings but moving in half the time.

Bedroom count: price scales steeply, speed does not

| ≤2 | 2,634 | 26.5% | $300,000 | 42 | 95.7% | | 3 | 3,444 | 34.7% | $400,000 | 28 | 97.1% | | 4 | 2,288 | 23.0% | $639,550 | 23 | 97.7% | | 5 | 1,084 | 10.9% | $902,250 | 22 | 97.7% | | ≥6 | 478 | 4.8% | $1,572,500 | 26 | 95.9% |

Three-bedroom homes are the largest bedroom group by sales of the five, at 3,444 transactions and 34.7% of the market. The ≤2-bedroom group is the second-largest at 2,634 sales, and it is the slowest of the five bedroom groups at a 42-day median and the weakest of the five on sale-to-list at 95.7%. Five-bedroom homes are the fastest of the five at 22 days, and four-bedroom homes post the strongest sale-to-list of the five at 97.7%.

The price ladder is steep and non-linear. Moving from ≤2 bedrooms to 3 adds $100,000 to the median. The largest single step in the ladder is the last one — the jump into the six-bedroom-and-up tier, where only 478 sales occurred in twelve months. That is a thin, high-priced segment, and the 95.9% median sale-to-list there (below the 97.7% posted by both 4- and 5-bedroom homes) suggests that even at the top of the market, sellers are conceding more than they do in the four- and five-bedroom tiers.

Bathroom count: the strongest single relationship in the dataset

| 1 | 1,634 | 16.5% | $225,000 | 41 | 94.8% | | 2 | 4,364 | 44.0% | $369,300 | 31 | 96.9% | | 3 | 2,407 | 24.2% | $625,000 | 24 | 97.8% | | 4 | 893 | 9.0% | $985,000 | 22 | 97.6% | | 5 | 356 | 3.6% | $1,653,500 | 20 | 97.1% | | ≥6 | 273 | 2.8% | $2,514,000 | 23 | 95.8% |

Two-bathroom homes are the largest bathroom group by sales of the six, at 4,364 transactions and 44.0% of the market — nearly half of everything that sold. One-bathroom homes are the slowest of the six at 41 days and the weakest of the six on sale-to-list at 94.8%, the lowest figure of any bathroom group. Three-bathroom homes post the strongest sale-to-list of the six at 97.8%. Five-bathroom homes are the fastest of the six at 20 days.

The bathroom count tracks price more tightly than the bedroom count does at the low end. The median price roughly triples from one bathroom ($225,000) to three ($625,000), then roughly quadruples again from three to six-plus ($2,514,000). The ≥6-bathroom group is the highest-priced of the six bathroom groups, and it is also one of only two groups (with one-bathroom) where the median sale-to-list falls below 96%.

Bed/bath configuration: where the market actually clears

The 15 tracked configurations show where volume concentrates and where it thins out.

• 3 bed / 2 bath is the largest configuration by sales of the fifteen, at 2,189 transactions and 22.1% of the market — more than one in five sales. Median price $362,000, median 1,650 sqft, 27 days on market, 97.5% sale-to-list.
• ≤2 bed / 2 bath is second at 1,357 sales (13.7%), median $369,000, 41 days.
• 4 bed / 3 bath is third at 1,149 sales (11.6%), median $685,000, 2,688 sqft, and just 20 days on market.
• ≤2 bed / 1 bath is the slowest of the fifteen at 43 days and carries the lowest median price of the fifteen at $246,000 on a median 884 sqft.
• 4 bed / other bath counts is the fastest of the fifteen at 18 days, with a median price of $1,066,450 and a median 3,500 sqft.
• 5 bed / 4 bath posts the strongest sale-to-list of the fifteen at 98.3%, with a median price of $1,000,000 on 3,793 sqft.
• 3 bed / other bath counts is the weakest of the fifteen on sale-to-list at 93.3% and the lowest-priced of the fifteen at a $188,000 median on just 1,200 sqft.
• ≥6 bed / ≥6 bath is the highest-priced of the fifteen at a $2,550,000 median on 7,219 sqft, with 204 sales.

The pattern worth noting: the configurations that sell fastest are not the cheapest ones. The 4-bed/other-bath group (18 days) and the 4-bed/3-bath group (20 days) move faster than the 3-bed/2-bath group (27 days) and much faster than the ≤2-bed/1-bath group (43 days). Large, well-appointed homes are clearing quickly in this market; small, one-bath homes are not.

Year built: the newest stock is the slowest and the most negotiable

| Pre-1950 | 1,544 | 15.5% | $479,500 | 22 | 97.1% | | 1950–1979 | 2,926 | 29.3% | $369,500 | 25 | 96.4% | | 1980–1999 | 1,472 | 14.7% | $401,559 | 27 | 96.8% | | 2000–2009 | 2,017 | 20.2% | $412,000 | 35.5 | 96.3% | | 2010–2019 | 823 | 8.2% | $680,000 | 28 | 97.3% | | 2020+ | 1,206 | 12.1% | $492,988 | 40.5 | 97.6% |

The 1950–1979 era is the largest by sales of the six, at 2,926 transactions and 29.3% of the market, and it is the lowest-priced of the six at a $369,500 median. The 2010–2019 era is the highest-priced of the six at a $680,000 median, on only 823 sales — the smallest of the six eras by transaction count. Pre-1950 homes are the fastest of the six at 22 days. Homes built in 2020 or later are the slowest of the six at 40.5 days, yet they post the strongest sale-to-list of the six at 97.6%.

That last pairing is the anomaly worth flagging. Newest construction takes the longest to sell but concedes the least relative to list. The most plausible reading from the data alone is that 2020+ sellers are pricing close to their target and waiting, rather than cutting to move — the opposite of the 2000–2009 cohort, which is the weakest of the six on sale-to-list at 96.3% and the second-slowest at 35.5 days. The 2000–2009 era, with 2,017 sales, is a large cohort that is both slow and conceding.

| No HOA | 5,391 | 53.0% | $525,000 | 23 | 96.9% | | With HOA | 4,777 | 47.0% | $394,900 | 37 | 96.7% |

No-HOA homes are also the faster of the two at a 23-day median against 37 days for HOA properties, a 14-day difference. The two groups are nearly identical on sale-to-list: 96.9% for no-HOA against 96.7% for HOA.

The sale-to-list parity is the important part. HOA properties sell for less and take longer, but they do not concede a meaningfully larger percentage off list. That is consistent with HOA properties being priced lower to begin with rather than being discounted harder at the table. The 14-day speed gap is the more actionable number: a seller of an HOA property should expect a marketing period roughly 60% longer than a no-HOA seller, at the median.

This dataset does not contain HOA fee amounts, so it cannot be determined whether the price gap reflects the capitalized cost of dues, differences in location, differences in structure type (condos and townhouses are disproportionately HOA-governed), or some combination. The observation is a difference in medians, not a causal effect of HOA status.

Price bands: where the market is thickest, thinnest, and most negotiable

The $50,000 bands (with the open-ended $1M+ tier excluded from band-to-band comparison) show a market concentrated in the middle.

| $250–300K | 955 | 9.4% | | $300–350K | 838 | 8.2% | | $200–250K | 828 | 8.1% | | $150–200K | 719 | 7.1% | | $350–400K | 697 | 6.9% | | $400–450K | 594 | 5.8% | | $450–500K | 549 | 5.4% | | $500–550K | 471 | 4.6% | | $550–600K | 420 | 4.1% | | $650–700K | 340 | 3.3% | | $700–750K | 309 | 3.0% | | $750–800K | 282 | 2.8% | | $850–900K | 226 | 2.2% | | $800–850K | 200 | 2.0% | | $950K–1M | 167 | 1.6% | | $900–950K | 158 | 1.6% | | $50–100K | 157 | 1.5% | | $100–150K | 335 | 3.3% | | $0–50K | 52 | 0.5% |

The $250–300K band is the largest of the twenty $50K bands by sales, at 955 transactions and 9.4% of all sales. The $0–50K band is the smallest of the twenty, at 52 sales. The open-ended $1M+ tier, which is not comparable to the $50K bands, holds 1,489 sales — 14.6% of the market — making it larger than any single $50K band.

Negotiation by band. The share of sales closing below list varies sharply across the price spectrum, and the pattern is not monotonic.

• $0–50K: 26 of 52 sales closed more than 20% below list, and only 6 closed in the at-list band. This is a distressed-pricing segment. Only 18 closed in the at-list band.
• $100–150K: 116 of 335 closed more than 20% below list; 38 closed in the at-list band.
• $150–200K: 143 of 719 closed more than 20% below list; 78 closed in the at-list band.
• $250–300K: the deepest at-list concentration among the low bands — 204 of 955 sales in the at-list band, plus 142 in the 2%-to-4%-below band and 106 in the 4%-to-6%-below band.
• $400–450K: 113 of 594 sales in the 2%-to-4%-below band, 102 in the at-list band, 80 in the 4%-to-6%-below band.
• $650–700K: 88 of 340 in the at-list band, 71 in the 2%-to-4%-below band, 56 in the 4%-to-6%-below band.
• $1M+: 266 of 1,489 in the at-list band, 175 in the 2%-to-4%-below band, 152 in the 4%-to-6%-below band, and 42 closing 20% or more above list — the largest count of any band in that top bucket.

Across all 10,095 transactions with a list price, 69.5% closed below list, 12.7% closed exactly at list, and 17.9% closed above list. The single largest bucket in the entire distribution is the at-list band, at 1,927 sales (19.1%), followed by the 2%-to-4%-below band at 1,353 (13.4%) and the 4%-to-6%-below band at 1,142 (11.3%).

Where the market is most liquid. The $250–300K band combines the highest transaction count (955) with a strong at-list concentration (204) and a heavy clustering in the 2%-to-6%-below range (248 sales across two bands). That is a band where sellers are pricing close to where buyers will transact. The $1M+ tier, despite being open-ended and not band-comparable, shows the widest dispersion: 266 at-list sales alongside 42 sales 20% or more above list and 28 sales more than 20% below list. High-end outcomes in this market are genuinely bimodal.

Where negotiation is strongest. The sub-$150K bands are where sellers are conceding the most. In the $100–150K band, 34.6% did. These are the bands where a buyer has the most leverage and where a seller's list price carries the least information about the eventual clearing price.

Where homes sell fastest. The dataset does not break days on market out by price band, so a band-level speed ranking cannot be calculated from the supplied data. What can be said is that the overall market's median is 29 days, and 21.8% of all sales went under contract within 7 days while 29.3% took 64 days or longer.

What the segments collectively reveal

Three cross-segment patterns stand out.

First, price per square foot runs opposite to price. Condos carry the highest median $/sqft of the three types with a measurable figure at $274, against $242 for townhouses and $239 for single family. The cheapest segment by total price is the most expensive by the square foot. Buyers shopping on total price and buyers shopping on space are shopping in different markets.

Second, the fastest-selling segments are not the cheapest. Five-bedroom homes (22 days), four-bedroom homes (23 days), single-family homes (23 days), and pre-1950 homes (22 days) all move faster than the market's 29-day median. Speed in this market tracks configuration and location more than it tracks price.

Third, sale-to-list is remarkably tight across most segments. The market is not one where most sellers are taking deep haircuts; it is one where a minority of transactions — concentrated in the sub-$150K bands and in specific weak configurations — absorb most of the discounting, while the bulk of the market clears within a few points of list.

That distribution is not a bell curve; it is a barbell. The single largest bucket is the 64-day-plus tail (2,962 sales), and the second largest is the 0–7 day bucket (2,201). The middle of the distribution is comparatively thin: the 29–35 day band holds just 545 sales and the 36–42 day band just 445. In practical terms, Atlanta is not a market where the typical home sells in about a month. It is a market where roughly a third of homes sell almost instantly and roughly a third sit for two months or more, with a comparatively small middle.

What sells fast, and what doesn't

The fastest-moving property type by median days on market is Single Family, at 23 days across 6,061 sales — the largest segment in the dataset and also the quickest. The slowest is Condo, at 46 days across 2,128 sales, exactly double the Single Family median. Townhouse sits between them at 33 days across 1,624 sales.

Bedroom count sharpens the picture further. Five-bedroom homes had the lowest median days on market of any bedroom group at 22 days (1,084 sales), while homes with two bedrooms or fewer had the highest at 42 days (2,634 sales) — a 20-day spread. Four-bedroom homes were close behind the five-bedroom group at 23 days across 2,288 sales.

Bathroom count produces an even wider velocity gap. Five-bath homes had the lowest median days on market of any bathroom group at 20 days (356 sales), while one-bath homes had the highest at 41 days (1,634 sales). The most common configuration in the dataset — two bathrooms, with 4,364 sales — sat at a median of 31 days.

Combining both dimensions isolates the extremes. The fastest configuration by median days on market is 4 bed / other bath counts at 18 days (386 sales), followed closely by 4 bed / 3 bath at 20 days (1,149 sales) and 5 bed / 4 bath at 21 days (405 sales). The slowest is ≤2 bed / 1 bath at 43 days (1,211 sales) — the single largest bed/bath configuration in the dataset and also the slowest.

Age of the home tells a counterintuitive story. Pre-1950 homes had the lowest median days on market of any era at 22 days (1,544 sales), while 2020-or-newer construction had the highest at 40.5 days (1,206 sales). Newer homes are not moving faster in this market; the oldest housing stock is.

HOA status is one of the cleanest velocity divides in the data. Homes without an HOA had a median of 23 days on market (5,391 sales); homes with an HOA had a median of 37 days (4,777 sales) — a 14-day gap. That gap aligns with the property-type pattern, since condos and townhomes are far more likely to carry HOA obligations and are also the slower-moving types.

Sale-to-list: where the negotiating room actually is

Of the 10,095 sales with both a list and a sale price, 69.5% closed below list, 12.7% closed exactly at list, and 17.9% closed above list. The single most populated band is the one running from list up to just under 2% above list, which holds 1,927 sales — 19.1% of the total. The second largest is the band from 4% below list up to just under 2% below, at 1,353 sales (13.4%), followed by the band from 2% below list up to just under list at 1,105 (10.9%).

The discount tail is heavy.

By property type, Townhouse had the strongest median sale-to-list at 97.5 (1,624 sales), narrowly ahead of Single Family at 97.2 (6,061 sales).

By bedroom count, four-bedroom homes had the strongest median sale-to-list at 97.7 (2,288 sales), while two-bedroom-or-fewer homes had the weakest at 95.7 (2,634 sales). By bathroom count, three-bath homes led at 97.8 (2,407 sales) and one-bath homes trailed at 94.8 (1,634 sales). The bed/bath configuration with the strongest median sale-to-list is 5 bed / 4 bath at 98.3 (405 sales); the weakest is 3 bed / other bath counts at 93.3 (459 sales).

By era, 2020-or-newer homes had the strongest median sale-to-list at 97.6 (1,206 sales) — even though they were the slowest to sell. Homes built 2000–2009 had the weakest at 96.3 (2,017 sales). HOA status barely moves the needle on price realization: homes without an HOA posted a median of 96.9 and homes with an HOA 96.7.

Where buyers have room, and where sellers hold firm

The price-band breakdown shows negotiating leverage shifting with price. In the $250,000–$300,000 band — the largest $50K band in the dataset at 955 sales — 204 sales closed in the band from list up to just under 2% above list, and 142 closed in the band from 4% below list up to just under 2% below. In the $1M-and-above band (1,489 sales, open-ended and not comparable to the $50K bands), 266 sales closed in the band from list up to just under 2% above list, 175 in the 4%-to-2%-below band, and 152 in the 6%-to-4%-below band. The luxury tier shows both a strong at-list cluster and a meaningful discount tail.

At the bottom of the market, the pattern is more extreme. In the $150,000–$200,000 band, 143 sales closed more than 20% below list — the largest single bucket in that band. In the $100,000–$150,000 band, 116 of the recorded sales closed more than 20% below list. These are the bands where buyers have the most observable negotiating room.

At the subdivision level for the latest month, the strongest sale-to-list among subdivisions with at least three closings was COLLIER HILLS at 1.0689 (5 closings), followed by EDGEWOOD at 1.0213 (3 closings) and VIRGINIA HIGHLAND at 1.0190 (4 closings). GRESHAM PARK had the fewest closings at 0. These are small samples and should be read as directional rather than definitive.

The velocity–price relationship

The data shows a consistent inverse relationship between days on market and price realization. The fastest configurations — 4 bed / other bath counts at 18 days, 4 bed / 3 bath at 20 days, 5 bed / 4 bath at 21 days — also tend to post strong sale-to-list ratios (97.3, 98.1, and 98.3 respectively). The slowest configuration, ≤2 bed / 1 bath at 43 days, posts a median sale-to-list of 95.3. This is correlation, not causation: the data does not establish whether faster sales cause stronger pricing or whether better-priced homes simply attract buyers faster.

The monthly path was not a smooth decline. They recovered to 789 in February and 965 in March, then drifted lower through the spring and summer: 870 in April, 817 in May, 791 in June, 666 in July, and 649 in August. The August 2026 figure of 649 is the lowest monthly count in the window outside of January.

Prices: a June peak and a January trough

The 12-month median price peaked in June 2026 at $494,121 and troughed in January 2026 at $394,990. The peak-to-later-low change from June 2026 to August 2026 was −7.1%, with the August 2026 median at $459,000. The month-over-month change in the most recent month was −3.4%.

The largest single month-over-month price move was in February 2026, at +9.4%. The three-month median price for the most recent three months was 1.6% above the prior three months, and the six-month median price was 13.1% above the prior six months. The first-to-last month change in median price across the full window was +9.5%.

The monthly price path shows a clear seasonal arc: $419,000 in September 2025, $416,000 in October, $437,500 in November, $405,000 in December, $394,990 in January, then a sharp recovery to $432,000 in February, $450,000 in March, $480,000 in April, $475,000 in May, $494,121 in June, $475,000 in July, and $459,000 in August. Prices rose through the spring and early summer, peaked in June, and have declined in each of the two months since.

Dollar volume: the same seasonal shape

Total dollar volume peaked in September 2025 at $641,056,000 and troughed in January 2026 at $350,607,100. The monthly path mirrors the sales-count pattern: strong in the fall, weak in January, recovering through the spring, then declining into the summer. August 2026 volume was $413,715,680 — well below the September peak but above the January trough.

Listing-side dynamics: supply building through 2026

Active listings troughed in January 2026 at 4,584 and peaked in August 2026 at 5,783. New listings troughed in October 2025 at zero and peaked in April 2026 at 1,997. Pending sales troughed in January 2026 at 1,016 and peaked in May 2026 at 1,585.

Months of supply troughed in December 2025 at 5.28 and peaked in August 2026 at 9.02. The pending-to-active ratio troughed in August 2026 at 0.2039 and peaked in May 2026 at 0.2836.

The listing-side story is one of supply building faster than demand through 2026. Active listings rose from 4,584 in January to 5,783 in August — a 26% increase — while pending sales fell from their May peak of 1,585 to 1,179 in August. The pending-to-active ratio, which measures how quickly the standing inventory is being absorbed, fell from 0.2836 in May to 0.2039 in August. Months of supply, which measures how long the current inventory would last at the current sales pace, rose from 5.28 in December to 9.02 in August.

What the seasonal pattern means

The observed pattern is a market that peaks in transaction volume in the fall (September 2025), troughs in January, recovers through the spring, and then sees prices peak in June while volume continues to decline into August. The divergence between the June price peak and the August volume decline is notable: prices held up through the spring selling season even as the number of transactions fell, and then prices began to soften in July and August as supply continued to build.

The dataset covers only one annual cycle, so it is not possible to determine whether this is a recurring seasonal pattern or a one-time sequence of events. The January trough in both sales and prices is consistent with a winter slowdown, and the spring recovery is consistent with a spring selling season, but the dataset does not contain a second year to confirm that these patterns repeat.

Leverage concentrates in specific property types. Condos carried a 12-month median of 46 days on market — the slowest of the four property types — and a median sale-to-list of 95.6%. Single Family homes moved in a median of 23 days and cleared at a median of 97.2%. Townhouses posted the strongest median sale-to-list at 97.5%. The "Others" category (355 sales) had the weakest median sale-to-list at 90.5%, but that is a small, heterogeneous bucket and should not be treated as a reliable target.

Bedroom count sharpens the picture further. Homes with two bedrooms or fewer — 2,634 sales, 26.5% of the market — had the slowest median days on market at 42 and the weakest median sale-to-list at 95.7%. Five-bedroom homes were the fastest at a median of 22 days. The ≤2 bed / 1 bath configuration was the slowest of all 15 bed/bath groupings at a median of 43 days, with 1,211 sales. Buyers shopping smaller units are operating in the segment where sellers have waited longest and conceded most.

HOA status is a meaningful dividing line. With-HOA properties (4,777 sales) had a median of 37 days on market versus 23 for no-HOA properties (5,391 sales), and a median sale-to-list of 96.7% versus 96.9%. The DOM gap of 14 days is the more actionable number — HOA properties sit materially longer, which gives buyers more time to negotiate, inspect, and walk away.

So what: A buyer targeting a condo, a two-bedroom-or-smaller home, or an HOA property is negotiating in the slowest, most concession-prone part of the Atlanta market. The 4%-to-6%-below-list band is where the most transactions actually clear, so an opening offer in that range is consistent with observed outcomes rather than aggressive.

What types of homes sell fastest

Speed is concentrated in larger, newer, and single-family product. Single Family homes sold in a median of 23 days across 6,061 sales. Pre-1950 homes were the fastest year-built era at a median of 22 days across 1,544 sales. Five-bedroom homes tied at a median of 22 days (1,084 sales), and the 4 bed / other bath counts configuration was the fastest of all 15 bed/bath groupings at a median of 18 days (386 sales).

The overall DOM distribution shows how top-heavy the market is. Nearly half — 49.2% — closed within 28 days. But 2,962 sales, or 29.3%, took 64 days or longer. Atlanta is not one market; it is a fast lane and a slow lane running side by side.

The slow lane is dominated by condos (median 46 days), the 2020+ build era (median 40.5 days across 1,206 sales), and the ≤2 bed / 1 bath configuration (median 43 days). Notably, 2020+ construction was the slowest era despite posting the strongest median sale-to-list at 97.6% — newer homes are priced confidently and take longer to find the right buyer, but they do not typically capitulate on price.

So what: A buyer who needs to move quickly should weight single-family, pre-1950, and four-to-five-bedroom inventory. A buyer with time and patience should look at condos and 2020+ construction, where the calendar works in their favor even when the price does not.

Where buyers can find relative value

Relative value in this dataset means a combination of below-median price, below-median price per square foot, and enough transaction volume to transact without friction.

The 12-month median price across the city was $438,000, and the median price per square foot was $247. Single Family homes carried the lowest median price per square foot of the three ranked types at $239, against $242 for Townhouses and $274 for Condos. That is a $35-per-square-foot gap between Single Family and Condo — on a 2,290-square-foot average home, the difference is substantial.

By ZIP, the highest-volume area was ZIP 30349 with 727 sales and a median price of $275,000. ZIP 30331 recorded 490 sales at a median of $275,000, and ZIP 30310 recorded 355 sales at a median of $315,000. These are the deepest-liquidity, lowest-median-price ZIPs in the top ten by volume. At the other end, ZIP 30327 posted the highest median price in the city at $1,585,000, and ZIP 30303 the lowest at $165,000.

The 1950-1979 build era — the largest era by sales at 2,926 transactions, 29.3% of the market — had the lowest median price of any era at $369,500.

So what: Buyers seeking the most square footage per dollar should focus on Single Family homes in the 1950-1979 era, particularly in the high-volume ZIPs 30349, 30331, and 30310, where median prices sit well below the citywide figure and transaction volume is deep enough to support competitive offers and clean exits.

What buyers should watch

Three specific segments deserve attention.

First, the 1M+ price band. It is the largest single price band in the market at 1,489 sales (14.6%), and it is open-ended, so it is not comparable to the $50K bands. Within it, 266 sales closed at list (up to just under 2% above), 175 closed 2% to 4% below, and 152 closed 4% to 6% below. But 42 closed 20% or more above list — the highest count in that extreme band of any price range. The luxury segment is bifurcated: most sales negotiate downward, but a meaningful minority bid up hard.

Second, the 2020+ build era. It had the strongest median sale-to-list of any era at 97.6% but the slowest median DOM at 40.5 days. Buyers should expect new-construction sellers to hold price while the listing ages — patience, not pressure, is the lever.

Third, months of supply. The citywide figure stood at 9.02 months in August 2026, the peak of the 11 months tracked, up from a trough of 5.28 months in December 2025. The pending-to-active ratio fell to 0.2039 in August 2026, its lowest reading of the period. Inventory is building and absorption is slowing. Buyers entering now face a market with more choice and less competition than at any point in the tracked window.

So what: Buyers should watch the 1M+ band for two-sided outcomes, treat 2020+ construction as a patience play rather than a discount play, and recognize that the 9.02-month supply reading and 0.2039 pending-to-active ratio give them the strongest structural position of the past year.

The 2020+ build era posted the strongest median sale-to-list of any era at 97.6% across 1,206 sales — but also the slowest median DOM at 40.5 days. Newer homes hold price but take longer to sell. That is a deliberate trade, not a failure.

So what: Sellers of four- and five-bedroom homes, three-bath homes, and townhouses are pricing into the strongest clearing ratios in the dataset. Sellers of 2020+ construction should expect to hold list price but budget for a longer marketing period.

What homes receive discounts and sit longest

The discount-prone profile is a small, older, attached, or HOA-bound home. Condos had a median sale-to-list of 95.6% across 2,128 sales, and the slowest median DOM at 46 days. The ≤2 bed / 1 bath configuration was the slowest of all 15 bed/bath groupings at 43 days across 1,211 sales. Homes with two bedrooms or fewer had the weakest median sale-to-list by bedroom count at 95.7% across 2,634 sales. One-bath homes had the weakest median sale-to-list by bathroom count at 94.8% across 1,634 sales.

The 3 bed / other bath counts configuration posted the weakest median sale-to-list of all 15 groupings at 93.3% across 459 sales — a full five percentage points below the strongest grouping. The 2000-2009 build era had the weakest median sale-to-list of any era at 96.3% across 2,017 sales.

HOA status matters. With-HOA properties had a median of 37 days on market versus 23 for no-HOA — a 14-day gap — and a median sale-to-list of 96.7% versus 96.9%. The price gap is larger: with-HOA median price was $394,900 versus $525,000 for no-HOA, a difference of 24.8%. That reflects what HOA properties are (more often condos and townhouses), not a causal penalty from the HOA itself.

So what: Sellers of condos, one-bath homes, and two-bedroom-or-smaller units should plan for longer marketing periods and expect to negotiate below list. Sellers of 2000-2009 construction face the weakest clearing ratio of any era and should price with that in mind from day one.

Transaction velocity by ZIP and subdivision

Velocity is highly concentrated. The top five ZIPs by sales accounted for 28.8% of the 10,168 total sales. ZIP 30349 led with 727 sales and a median price of $275,000. ZIP 30318 followed with 691 sales at a median of $417,500. ZIP 30319 recorded 534 sales at a median of $749,450. ZIP 30328 recorded 491 sales at a median of $600,000. ZIP 30331 recorded 490 sales at a median of $275,000.

At the subdivision level in the latest month, MORNINGSIDE (30306) led all 1,414 tracked subdivisions with 15 closings, a median list price of $1,060,000, a median of 61 days on market, and a sale-to-list ratio of 0.9645. BUCKHEAD (30327) followed with 11 closings at a median list price of $1,595,000 and a sale-to-list ratio of 0.9486. ATLANTA (30318) recorded 9 closings at a median list price of $444,900 and a sale-to-list ratio of 1.0. BROOKHAVEN (30319) recorded 9 closings at a median list price of $695,000 and a sale-to-list ratio of 0.9912. KIRKWOOD (30317) recorded 8 closings at a median list price of $599,900 and a sale-to-list ratio of 0.9742.

Liquidity varies sharply within the same month. WAKEFIELD FOREST (30345) showed 0.7355 months of supply on 3 active listings — the lowest of 227 ranked subdivisions. GROVE PARK showed 71.5 months of supply — the highest. BUCKHEAD had the most active listings at 76.

So what: Sellers in ZIPs 30349, 30318, 30319, 30328, and 30331 are operating in the deepest transaction pools in the city. Sellers in subdivisions with very low months of supply, such as WAKEFIELD FOREST, face the opposite condition — thin inventory and potentially fast absorption.

Does pricing matter more in certain segments?

The negotiation data by price band shows that discounting behavior is not uniform. In the 250-300K band — the largest $50K band at 955 sales — 204 sales closed at list (up to just under 2% above), 142 closed 2% to 4% below, and 106 closed at list up to just under 2% above. The band is dense with near-list outcomes.

In the 1M+ band, 266 sales closed at list, 175 closed 2% to 4% below, and 152 closed 4% to 6% below. But 42 closed 20% or more above list — the highest count in that extreme band of any price range. The luxury segment produces both the most at-list outcomes and the most extreme above-list outcomes.

At the bottom, the 0-50K band (52 sales) saw 26 close more than 20% below list — half the band. The 50-100K band (157 sales) saw 73 close more than 20% below list. These are small, distressed-heavy segments where list price appears to carry little informational weight.

So what: Pricing discipline matters most in the 250-300K band, where the market clears near list and overpricing is easily detected. In the 1M+ band, pricing is a two-sided bet — the segment rewards both precise list pricing and, for a minority, aggressive positioning above list.

How new construction competes with existing housing

The 2020+ build era — 1,206 sales, 12.1% of the market — posted the strongest median sale-to-list of any era at 97.6% but the slowest median DOM at 40.5 days. The 2010-2019 era — 823 sales, 8.2% — had the highest median price of any era at $680,000 and a median DOM of 28 days with a median sale-to-list of 97.3%.

By contrast, the 1950-1979 era — the largest at 2,926 sales, 29.3% — had the lowest median price at $369,500, a median DOM of 25 days, and a median sale-to-list of 96.4%. The 2000-2009 era — 2,017 sales, 20.2% — had the weakest median sale-to-list at 96.3% and a median DOM of 35.5 days.

Newer construction holds price better than any other era but takes longer to sell. Older construction sells faster but concedes more on price. The 2000-2009 era is the weakest of both worlds: slower than pre-1950 and 1950-1979, and the weakest clearing ratio of any era.

So what: Sellers of 2020+ construction should expect to hold list price through a longer marketing window. Sellers of 2000-2009 construction face the most difficult combination in the dataset — a below-average clearing ratio and above-average time on market — and should price accordingly.

How HOA status affects selling dynamics

With-HOA properties — 4,777 sales, 47.0% of the market — had a median price of $394,900, a median DOM of 37 days, and a median sale-to-list of 96.7%. No-HOA properties — 5,391 sales, 53.0% — had a median price of $525,000, a median DOM of 23 days, and a median sale-to-list of 96.9%.

The 14-day DOM gap is the most actionable difference. HOA properties sit materially longer. The 24.8% price gap reflects composition — HOA properties are disproportionately condos and townhouses — rather than a causal effect of the HOA itself.

So what: Sellers of HOA properties should plan for a marketing period roughly two weeks longer than their no-HOA counterparts and should not expect the HOA premium that no-HOA sellers command. Sellers of no-HOA properties benefit from both faster absorption and a higher median price point.

By dollar volume, ZIP 30327 led the entire city at $565,839,300 — the highest of all 38 ZIPs — despite not appearing in the top ten by sales count. ZIP 30332 recorded the lowest dollar volume at $419,800.

So what: Agents building a business-development map should prioritize ZIPs 30349, 30318, 30319, 30328, and 30331 for transaction count, and ZIP 30327 for dollar volume per transaction. ZIP 30327 generates the most revenue per sale in the city.

Which property types and price ranges move fastest

Single Family homes dominated volume at 6,061 sales (59.6%) and moved fastest at a median of 23 days. Townhouses recorded 1,624 sales (16.0%) at a median of 33 days. Condos recorded 2,128 sales (20.9%) at a median of 46 days. The "Others" category recorded 355 sales (3.5%) at a median of 43 days.

By price band, the 250-300K range was the largest $50K band at 955 sales (9.4%). The 300-350K band recorded 838 sales. The 200-250K band recorded 828 sales. The 150-200K band recorded 719 sales. The 350-400K band recorded 697 sales. The 1M+ band, which is open-ended and not comparable to the $50K bands, recorded 1,489 sales (14.6%).

So what: The highest-velocity business sits in Single Family homes priced between $250,000 and $350,000, where the two largest $50K bands and the fastest-moving property type intersect. Agents who specialize in condos should expect roughly double the marketing period of single-family specialists.

Where homes are sitting and where margins are largest

The DOM distribution shows 2,962 sales — 29.3% — took 64 days or longer. Another 341 sales took 57 to 63 days, and 424 took 50 to 56 days. Roughly 37% of the market took 50 days or more to close.

The slowest segments are condos (median 46 days), the 2020+ build era (median 40.5 days), the ≤2 bed / 1 bath configuration (median 43 days), and homes with two bedrooms or fewer (median 42 days).

Negotiation margins are largest in the "Others" property type, where the median sale-to-list was 90.5% across 355 sales — the weakest of the four types. The 3 bed / other bath counts configuration posted the weakest median sale-to-list of all 15 groupings at 93.3% across 459 sales. One-bath homes posted the weakest median sale-to-list by bathroom count at 94.8% across 1,634 sales.

At the subdivision level in the latest month, STONEHILL AT LENOX (30324) posted the weakest sale-to-list ratio of the 60 ranked subdivisions at 0.6341 across 3 closings. KNOLLWOOD (30316) posted 0.7763 across 3 closings. CROSS CREEK (30327) posted 0.8061 across 7 closings. PITTSBURGH (30310) posted 0.8965 across 3 closings. VININGS VIEW (30339) posted 0.8968 across 3 closings.

So what: Agents should target the 3 bed / other bath counts configuration and one-bath homes as listing opportunities where negotiation margins are widest and seller expectations most likely need resetting.

Where the market is shifting

The 12-month median price rose 9.5% from the first month to the last, but the peak-to-later-low change was -7.1%, from $494,121 in June 2026 to $459,000 in August 2026. The most recent month-over-month move was -3.4%. The three-month average compared to the prior three months was +1.6%, and the six-month average compared to the prior six months was +13.1%.

Sales volume is falling. The first three months of the window averaged 998 sales per month; the most recent three averaged 702 — a decline of 29.7%. The peak volume month was September 2025 at 1,079 sales; the trough was January 2026 at 617.

Inventory is building. Active listings rose from a trough of 4,584 in January 2026 to 5,783 in August 2026 — the peak of the 11 months tracked. Months of supply rose from a trough of 5.28 in December 2025 to 9.02 in August 2026. The pending-to-active ratio fell from a peak of 0.2836 in May 2026 to 0.2039 in August 2026 — the lowest reading of the period.

New listings peaked at 1,997 in April 2026. Pending sales peaked at 1,585 in May 2026.

So what: Agents should prepare clients for a market where prices have softened 7.1% from the June 2026 peak, sales volume is down 29.7% from the opening quarter, and supply has reached 9.02 months. The shift from a 0.2836 pending-to-active ratio in May to 0.2039 in August is the clearest signal that buyer urgency has cooled.

Competitive and underserved segments

The most competitive segments — where sale-to-list ratios exceed 1.0 — are visible at the subdivision level. COLLIER HILLS (30318) posted the strongest sale-to-list ratio of the 60 ranked subdivisions at 1.0689 across 5 closings. EDGEWOOD (30307) posted 1.0213 across 3 closings. VIRGINIA HIGHLAND (30306) posted 1.0190 across 4 closings. WAKEFIELD FOREST (30345) posted 1.0020 across 5 closings. ATLANTA (30318) posted 1.0 across 9 closings.

TRUST AT OAKLAND CITY (30310) showed 470 days. PEYTON VILLAGE (30311) showed 323 days. CENTURY LOFTS (30303) showed 256 days. PINE TREE (30349) showed 246 days.

By months of supply, GROVE PARK showed 71.5 months — the highest of 227 ranked subdivisions. WAKEFIELD FOREST showed 0.7355 months — the lowest.

So what: Agents should study COLLIER HILLS, EDGEWOOD, and VIRGINIA HIGHLAND as models of competitive positioning where homes clear above list. VIO, TRUST AT OAKLAND CITY, and PEYTON VILLAGE represent segments where listings are sitting for hundreds of days and where seller expectations likely need fundamental resetting.

So what: Investors prioritizing liquidity should focus on ZIPs 30349, 30318, 30319, 30328, and 30331 for transaction depth, and ZIP 30327 for dollar-volume concentration.

Where acquisition prices are lowest with meaningful volume

The lowest median price in the city was ZIP 30303 at $165,000. ZIP 30349 and ZIP 30331 both posted a median of $275,000 with 727 and 490 sales respectively — the combination of low median price and deep volume. ZIP 30310 posted a median of $315,000 across 355 sales.

By property type, the "Others" category had the lowest median price at $285,000 across 355 sales, and Condos followed at $296,750 across 2,128 sales. By bedroom count, homes with two bedrooms or fewer had the lowest median price at $300,000 across 2,634 sales. By bathroom count, one-bath homes had the lowest median price at $225,000 across 1,634 sales. By bed/bath configuration, the 3 bed / other bath counts grouping had the lowest median price at $188,000 across 459 sales.

By year built, the 1950-1979 era had the lowest median price at $369,500 across 2,926 sales — the largest era by transaction count.

Where discounts and variation are largest

The widest gap between asking and clearing prices appears in the "Others" property type, where the median sale-to-list was 90.5% across 355 sales. The 3 bed / other bath counts configuration posted a median sale-to-list of 93.3% across 459 sales. One-bath homes posted 94.8% across 1,634 sales. Condos posted 95.6% across 2,128 sales.

CROSS CREEK (30327) posted 0.8061 across 7 closings. PITTSBURGH (30310) posted 0.8965 across 3 closings.

The price-band negotiation data shows the deepest discounting at the bottom of the market. In the 0-50K band, 26 of 52 sales closed more than 20% below list. In the 50-100K band, 73 of 157 sales closed more than 20% below list. In the 100-150K band, 116 of 335 sales closed more than 20% below list. These are small, distressed-heavy segments where list price carries limited informational weight.

So what: Investors should investigate the 3 bed / other bath counts configuration, one-bath homes, and condos as segments where the gap between list and clearing price is widest. The 100-150K and 150-200K bands show the highest concentration of deep-discount closings, though both are small relative to the overall market.

Older housing stock and geographic concentration

The 1950-1979 era is the largest by transaction count at 2,926 sales (29.3%) and the lowest by median price at $369,500. It had a median DOM of 25 days and a median sale-to-list of 96.4%. The Pre-1950 era recorded 1,544 sales (15.5%) at a median price of $479,500, a median DOM of 22 days, and a median sale-to-list of 97.1%.

Geographically, the highest-volume ZIPs — 30349, 30318, 30331, 30310 — are also among the lowest-median-price ZIPs in the top ten. ZIP 30349 and ZIP 30331 both posted a median of $275,000. ZIP 30310 posted $315,000. ZIP 30318 posted $417,500.

So what: Investors should investigate the intersection of pre-1980 housing stock and the high-volume, lower-median-price ZIPs — 30349, 30331, and 30310 — where older housing, deep transaction pools, and below-citywide median prices coincide.

Price trends and market direction

The 12-month median price rose 9.5% from the first month to the last, but the peak-to-later-low change was -7.1%, from $494,121 in June 2026 to $459,000 in August 2026. The most recent month-over-month move was -3.4%. The three-month average compared to the prior three months was +1.6%, and the six-month average compared to the prior six months was +13.1%.

Sales volume is declining. The first three months of the window averaged 998 sales per month; the most recent three averaged 702 — a decline of 29.7%. The peak volume month was September 2025 at 1,079 sales; the trough was January 2026 at 617.

Inventory is building. Active listings rose from a trough of 4,584 in January 2026 to 5,783 in August 2026 — the peak of the 11 months tracked. Months of supply rose from a trough of 5.28 in December 2025 to 9.02 in August 2026. The pending-to-active ratio fell from a peak of 0.2836 in May 2026 to 0.2039 in August 2026 — the lowest reading of the period.

3. The most common single outcome is a sale within 2% of list — but the second most common is a sale 4% to 6% below list. Of 10,095 sales with a list price, 1,927 (19.1%) closed from list up to just under 2% above it, and 1,353 (13.4%) closed 4% to 6% below list. Below-list outcomes overall accounted for 69.5% of sales, above-list 17.9%, and 12.7% landed in the at-list band. The distribution is not a bell around list; it is a long left tail with a hard spike at list.

4. The $1M+ tier negotiates in both directions far more than the mid-market. Among 1M+ sales, 266 closed in the at-list band, 175 closed 2% to 4% below list, and 42 closed 20% or more above list — the largest count of any price band in that top bucket. At the other end, the 250-300K band produced 204 at-list closings and 142 in the 4%-to-6%-below band, with only 9 sales 20%+ above list. High-end Atlanta is not uniformly discounted; it is simply more dispersed.

5. HOA properties sold for a lower 12-month median than non-HOA properties — $394,900 versus $525,000 — and took 14 more days to sell. That is a 24.8% gap in median price and a 37-versus-23 day gap in median days on market. This is an observed association, not a causal claim: HOA-heavy product skews toward condos and townhouses, which are cheaper and slower in this dataset.

6. The newest housing stock sells closest to list but sits the longest. Homes built 2020 or later posted the strongest median sale-to-list of any era at 97.6 and the slowest median days on market at 40.5. Pre-1950 homes were the fastest at 22 days but posted a weaker 97.1 sale-to-list. New construction is priced tightly and waits; old construction is priced to move and does.

**7.

8. Five-bedroom homes sold faster than any other bedroom count and at a higher sale-to-list than four-bedroom homes' nearest rivals. The five-bedroom group posted a 22-day median days on market, the fastest of any bedroom count, and a 97.7 median sale-to-list. Four-bedroom homes posted the strongest sale-to-list of any bedroom group at 97.7 as well, on 2,288 sales. The large-family segment is both liquid and firm.

9. The three-bedroom / two-bath configuration is the city's transaction engine, and it is priced below the citywide median. At 2,189 sales — 22.1% of all transactions — the 3-bed/2-bath layout is the single most common configuration, with a 12-month median of $362,000 against the citywide median of $438,000 and a median of 1,650 square feet. Atlanta's modal home is a modest one.

10. Subdivision-level outcomes diverge wildly within the same month. In the latest month, COLLIER HILLS (30318) recorded a sale-to-list of 1.0689 across five closings, while STONEHILL AT LENOX (30324) recorded 0.6341 across three. Both are small samples, but the spread — roughly 43 percentage points of list price — shows that "Atlanta's sale-to-list" is an average over neighborhoods that behave nothing alike.

Volume moved the other way. The first three months of the window averaged 998 sales per month; the most recent three averaged 702 — a 29.7% decline. The peak sales month was September 2025 at 1,079 closings; the trough was January 2026 at 617. The most recent month, August 2026, closed 649 sales.

Supply-side conditions loosened through the spring and summer. Active listings bottomed at 4,584 in January 2026 and reached 5,783 in August 2026. Months of supply troughed at 5.28 in December 2025 and peaked at 9.02 in August 2026. New listings peaked at 1,997 in April 2026. Pending sales peaked at 1,585 in May 2026 and had fallen to 1,179 by August 2026, and the pending-to-active ratio peaked at 0.2836 in May 2026 before sliding to 0.2039 in August 2026 — the lowest reading of the window.

Read together, the observed pattern is a market that priced upward through the spring on a shrinking base of transactions, then entered late summer with more inventory, fewer pending contracts, and a median price that had given back part of its June peak. The dataset does not contain forward-looking indicators, so no forecast is offered here; what the records show is decelerating demand against rising supply as of August 2026.

Are Atlanta home prices rising or falling? Both, depending on the window.
