Market Trends
Kennesaw's 12-month trajectory is best described as decelerating on volume, stabilizing on price, and becoming more negotiable. The median sale price moved from $391,500 in September 2025 to $415,000 in August 2026 — a 6.0% span gain — but the path was volatile rather than linear. Prices bottomed at $385,000 in October 2025, climbed through a 13.2% month-over-month jump in April 2026 (the largest single-month move in the window), peaked at $452,500 in July 2026, then gave back 8.3% in August.
Volume tells the more consistent story. Sales peaked at 103 in March 2026 and troughed at 55 in January 2026, but the three-month averages show a clear downward drift: 82 sales per month in the first three months versus 67 in the most recent three. Meanwhile active listings climbed from 245 in January 2026 to 369 in August 2026, and months of supply expanded from 2.58 in March to 5.67 in August. The pending-to-active ratio — a forward-looking gauge of demand relative to available inventory — peaked at 0.5179 in April 2026 and has since fallen to 0.2889, its lowest reading in the 12-month window.
The defining tension: sellers are still achieving higher prices than a year ago, but they are doing so in a market with more competition, longer marketing times, and a widening gap between asking and closing prices. The 65.5% share of transactions closing below list confirms that buyers, not sellers, hold the negotiating advantage heading into the fall.
Geographic Breakdown
Kennesaw's public sales records for the 12 months ending August 2026 cover 933 closed transactions totaling $451,679,000 in dollar volume, all within the city's two primary ZIP codes — 30144 and 30152. Because the dataset's city-level rollup contains a single city, the meaningful geographic split is at the ZIP level, and the two ZIPs behave like two distinct submarkets rather than one uniform market.
The 12-month median sale price across the city was $410,000, with a median of $188 per square foot, a median 24 days on market, and an average of 2,605 square feet, 3.7 bedrooms and 2.9 baths. That citywide median conceals a wide spread: the dominant price band was $350,000–$400,000, which alone accounted for 19.7% of all transactions (184 sales), while the $400,000–$450,000 band added another 150 sales and the $300,000–$350,000 band another 139. Together those three bands represent roughly half of everything that sold.

Price movement over the year was real but uneven. The 12-month median rose 6.0% from the first month of the window to the last, and the 6-month-versus-prior-6-month comparison also came in at +6.0%, while the most recent three months ran 2.8% above the prior three. The peak month was July 2026 at a median of $452,500; the trough was October 2025 at $385,000. The single largest month-over-month move was April 2026, at +13.2%. But the most recent month, August 2026, gave back ground: the median fell 8.3% month-over-month to $415,000.
Volume tells the opposite story. The first three months of the window averaged 82 sales per month; the most recent three averaged 67, a decline of 18.7%. The busiest month was March 2026 with 103 closings; the slowest was January 2026 with 55. Meanwhile active listings climbed from 313 a year ago (October 2025) to 369 in August 2026, and months of supply rose from 3.96 to 5.67. The pending-to-active ratio fell from 0.3259 to 0.2889 over the same span. In plain terms: prices are higher than a year ago, but the market is carrying more inventory and converting a smaller share of it into contracts.
Geography also shows up in the subdivision snapshot. ZIP 30152 holds the high end — Overlook at Marietta CC at a $1,497,000 median list price, Hamilton Township at $850,000, Winterfield Court at $799,900 and Summerhour at $704,900 — while 30144 holds the entry point, led by Tara at $189,900. The two ZIPs are not competing for the same buyer.

Subdivision Intelligence
Subdivision-level data is available for this area: 51 subdivisions are tracked in the current-month snapshot (October 2026). Two important caveats apply. First, this is a current-month snapshot, not a 12-month history — the price, days-on-market and price-per-square-foot figures are median list prices and listing-side metrics for current listings, not closed sale prices. Second, homes_sold is zero across every subdivision in the snapshot, so no subdivision can be ranked by closings this month. The rankings below are therefore about where inventory is sitting and at what asking price, not about what actually closed.
Where the listings are. The deepest inventory pools are Legacy Park (30144) with 18 active listings at a $442,450 median list price and 48 median days on market; Oak Ridge (30144) with 15 listings at $399,000 and 41 days; The Vineyards (30144) with 11 listings at $314,900 and 68 days; Westover (30152) with 10 listings at $465,000 and 57 days; and Kennesaw (30152) with 9 listings at $795,914 and just 16 days. Barrett Pointe (30144) and East Park Village (30144) each carry 8 listings, at $463,049 and $428,950 respectively.

The high end. Overlook at Marietta CC (30152) lists at a $1,497,000 median with 4 active listings and 103 median days on market — the highest asking price in the snapshot and among the slowest to move. Hamilton Township (30152) sits at $850,000 with 3 listings and 105 days; Winterfield Court (30152) at $799,900 with 3 listings and 76 days; Kennesaw (30152) at $795,914 with 9 listings and 16 days; Summerhour (30152) at $704,900 with 3 listings and 111 days.
The entry point. Tara (30144) lists at a $189,900 median with 3 active listings and 28 days. Cedarlake (30152) at $287,000 with 3 listings and 62 days; Town View (30144) at $287,500 with 4 listings and 87 days; The Vineyards (30144) at $314,900 with 11 listings and 68 days; Oakhill (30152) at $319,500 with 3 listings and 37 days.
Speed. The fastest-moving subdivisions by median days on market are Galt Commons (30144) at 7 days with 4 listings and a $465,000 median list price; Wetherbyrne Woods (30144) at 12 days with 3 listings at $529,000; Fairway Estate (30144) at 13 days with 5 listings at $650,000; North Indian Springs (30144) at 14 days with 3 listings at $350,000; and Kennesaw (30152) at 16 days with 9 listings at $795,914. The slowest are Villas at Barrett Lakes (30144) at 151 days with 4 listings at $322,500; Owens Meadow (30152) at 142 days with 4 listings at $552,000; Summerhour (30152) at 111 days; Hamilton Township (30152) at 105 days; and Overlook at Marietta CC (30152) at 103 days.
Price per square foot. The highest median list price per square foot in the snapshot belongs to Galt Commons (30144) at $312.50, followed by Kennesaw (30152) at $261.55 and Barrett Pointe (30144) at $243.89. The lowest is Tara (30144) at $116.65, then Westover (30152) at $132.13 and Town View (30144) at $154.90. Note that the highest $/sqft subdivision is not the highest-priced one — Galt Commons asks $465,000 but at $312.50 per square foot, implying a smaller footprint than the $1.5M Overlook listings at $219.23 per square foot.
Sale-to-list ratios are not populated at the subdivision level in this snapshot, so no subdivision can be ranked on negotiation strength. Every subdivision figure here rests on small listing counts — most between 3 and 18 active listings — so these are directional signals about asking prices and marketing time, not statistically robust market segments.
Market Concentration
Kennesaw's market is unusually concentrated by geography and moderately concentrated by product type. All 933 sales fall within a single city, so the top-5 and top-10 city shares are both 100.0% and the city-level HHI is 10,000 — a mathematical artifact of a single-city dataset rather than a meaningful concentration signal. The real concentration story is inside the city.
By property type, single-family homes dominate: 745 sales, or 79.8% of transactions. Townhouses account for 135 sales (14.5%), condos 46 (4.9%), and all other types just 7 (0.8%). That means roughly four out of every five closings in Kennesaw are a single-family home, and the entire attached-housing market — townhouse plus condo — is under one in five.

By price band, the market clusters tightly in the middle. The $350,000–$400,000 band is the single largest at 19.7% of transactions, and the three bands from $300,000 to $450,000 together account for 473 of 933 sales. At the extremes, only 32 sales cleared $1M+ and just 4 sold between $50,000 and $100,000.
Subdivision-level concentration cannot be measured this month: homes_sold is zero for every subdivision in the snapshot, so the top-5 share of sales is not calculable. What the snapshot does show is where current inventory is concentrated — Legacy Park, Oak Ridge, The Vineyards, Westover and Kennesaw together hold 63 of the tracked active listings, with the remainder spread thinly across 46 other subdivisions. The practical read: Kennesaw's sales activity is a broad, mid-price, single-family market, while its current listing supply is spread across many small subdivisions with no single dominant community.
Property Type & Segment Analysis
Property type: a single-family market with a fast, small attached segment
Kennesaw's public sales records for the 12 months ending August 2026 are overwhelmingly a detached-house market. Single-family homes accounted for 745 of 933 sales, or 79.8% of transactions, with a 12-month median price of $421,200 and a median of $186 per square foot. Townhouses were the second-largest segment at 135 sales (14.5%), carrying a median price of $332,000 — $89,200 below the single-family median — but a higher median of $198 per square foot. Condos were a small slice at 46 sales (4.9%), with a median price of $352,500 and the highest per-foot pricing of any segment at $204. A residual "Others" group of 7 sales (0.8%) rounds out the market; with a median of $0 per square foot reported, that group's size metrics are not usable and its 8-day median DOM and 90.9% median sale-to-list ratio should be treated as anecdotal rather than representative.
The per-foot inversion is the most interesting structural fact here. Townhouses and condos sell for less in absolute dollars but more per square foot than detached homes — $198 and $204 versus $186. That is consistent with attached product concentrating value in a smaller footprint: the median townhouse and condo transact at a lower total price because they are smaller, not because the land-and-structure bundle is cheaper per unit of living space. Buyers comparing a $332,000 townhouse against a $421,200 single-family home are not comparing like-for-like square footage, and the per-foot figures make that explicit.

Liquidity diverges sharply by type. Single-family homes sold in a median of 20 days, while townhouses took 43 days and condos 38.5 days — roughly double the detached-home pace. Sale-to-list ratios tell the same story in miniature: single-family sales closed at a median of 98.0% of list, townhouses at 97.5%, and condos at 97.3%. The gaps are modest in percentage terms but consistent in direction, and they line up with the DOM gap: the attached segments are both slower and slightly more negotiable. Across the whole market, 65.5% of the 932 transactions with a list price recorded closed below list, 25.8% at list, and 8.8% above — so the single-family segment's 98.0% median sits on the stronger side of a market that already leans toward buyer-favorable outcomes.
Bedrooms: the four-bedroom segment is the market's engine
Four-bedroom homes were the fastest-selling bedroom group in the dataset, with a median DOM of 16 days across 280 sales (30.1% of transactions) and the strongest median sale-to-list ratio of any bedroom count at 98.4%. That combination — high volume, short marketing time, and the smallest concession to buyers — makes four-bedroom product the most liquid segment in Kennesaw by bedroom count.
Three-bedroom homes were the largest group by count at 404 sales (43.5%), but they behaved very differently: a 12-month median price of $364,000, a median DOM of 27 days, and a median sale-to-list of 97.9%. The three-bedroom segment is where the bulk of the market's transaction volume sits, but it is not where the market's speed sits. Five-bedroom homes (135 sales, 14.5%) posted a median price of $630,000 with a 22.5-day median DOM and a 98.1% sale-to-list ratio — nearly as fast as four-bedroom product at a much higher price point.
At the extremes, the pattern inverts. Homes with two or fewer bedrooms (57 sales, 6.1%) had a median price of $285,000 and a 35-day median DOM. Homes with six or more bedrooms (53 sales, 5.7%) had the highest median price in the dataset at $850,000 but the slowest median DOM at 36 days and the weakest median sale-to-list ratio at 96.0%. The six-plus-bedroom segment is the clearest example of a thin, high-price tier where sellers concede the most: a 96.0% median sale-to-list ratio means the typical seller in that group accepted roughly four cents on the dollar below list.
Bathrooms: two-bath homes dominate, but four-bath homes sell just as fast
Two-bathroom homes were the single largest bathroom group, with 509 sales (54.8%) at a median price of $369,900 and a 22-day median DOM. Three-bathroom homes followed at 268 sales (28.8%) with a median price of $463,840.50 and a 25.5-day median DOM. Together, two- and three-bath homes accounted for 83.6% of all transactions.
The more revealing comparison is between the top of the bathroom range and the middle. Four-bathroom homes (80 sales, 8.6%) had a median price of $750,000 — more than double the two-bath median — yet sold in a median of 22 days, identical to the two-bath group, and at a 98.0% median sale-to-list ratio. Five-bathroom homes (42 sales, 4.5%) posted a $862,500 median price with a 23-day median DOM. The slowest bathroom group by marketing time was actually the smallest: one-bathroom homes (19 sales, 2.0%) at a 26-day median DOM and a 96.3% median sale-to-list ratio, the weakest of any bathroom count. Six-or-more-bathroom homes (11 sales, 1.2%) had a median price of $1,285,000 but a 96.0% median sale-to-list ratio — the same concession level as the six-plus-bedroom group, and a reminder that the very top of the market is where sellers give up the most ground.
Bed-and-bath combinations: the 4-bed/2-bath configuration is the standout
The joint distribution sharpens the picture considerably. The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom combination — 133 sales, 14.3% of the market — recorded a median DOM of 14 days and a median sale-to-list ratio of 98.9%, the strongest ratio of any bed-bath pairing with a meaningful sample. Its median price was $415,000 on a median of 2,380 square feet. That is the single most competitive configuration in the dataset by both speed and seller leverage.
The 3-bed/2-bath combination was the largest single group at 302 sales (32.5%), with a median price of $359,450, a 24.5-day median DOM, and a 98.4% median sale-to-list ratio. The 4-bed/3-bath group (125 sales, 13.5%) posted a $455,000 median price with a 21-day median DOM and a 98.2% ratio. At the top, the 6-plus-bed/other-bath configuration (14 sales, 1.5%) had a median price of $1,112,500 on a median of 6,788 square feet but a 50-day median DOM and a 94.6% median sale-to-list ratio — the weakest ratio in the entire bed-bath matrix. The 4-bed/other-bath group (22 sales, 2.4%) was similarly soft at 94.5%. Both groups are small, but the direction is consistent: configurations that sit outside the standard bath-count ladder for their bedroom count take longer to sell and close at larger discounts.
Year built: the 1980–1999 cohort is the market's center of gravity and its fastest mover
Homes built between 1980 and 1999 made up 438 sales, or 47.1% of the market — nearly half of all transactions — at a 12-month median price of $399,000. That cohort was also the fastest-selling era in the dataset, with a median DOM of 18 days and the strongest median sale-to-list ratio at 98.4%. The 2000–2009 cohort was the second-largest at 246 sales (26.5%), with a median price of $422,250.50, a 31-day median DOM, and a 97.6% median sale-to-list ratio.
The price extremes are worth separating from the volume story. The 2010–2019 cohort (63 sales, 6.8%) had the highest median price of any era at $755,000, but its 24-day median DOM and 97.2% median sale-to-list ratio place it mid-pack on liquidity. The 1950–1979 cohort (93 sales, 10.0%) had the lowest median price at $325,000 and the weakest median sale-to-list ratio at 96.6%, with a 26-day median DOM. The newest cohort, 2020 or later (87 sales, 9.4%), carried a $469,900 median price but the slowest median DOM of any era at 41 days, with a 97.8% median sale-to-list ratio. Pre-1950 homes are effectively absent from the data at 2 sales (0.2%); their $545,000 median price and 8-day median DOM are not statistically meaningful.
The 2020+ cohort's 41-day median DOM is the anomaly worth flagging. Newer construction is selling more slowly than homes built four decades earlier, despite a higher median price. That is consistent with new-build product competing against a deep resale inventory in the same price range, but the dataset does not contain the listing-side detail needed to confirm the mechanism.
HOA: higher prices, slower sales, and a slightly stronger close
HOA-associated properties accounted for 640 sales (68.6%) at a 12-month median price of $439,950, versus 293 sales (31.4%) without an HOA at a median of $359,000 — a 22.5% price gap. But the more informative comparison is behavioral. HOA properties had a median DOM of 26 days against 20.5 days for non-HOA properties, meaning the higher-priced group took roughly 27% longer to sell. At the same time, HOA properties closed at a median of 98.0% of list versus 97.5% for non-HOA properties.
That combination — slower marketing time but a stronger close — suggests the two groups are not simply "better" and "worse" versions of the same product. HOA properties in this dataset skew toward larger, newer, and more amenitized product that takes longer to find the right buyer but holds price better once found. Non-HOA properties move faster, likely because they include a larger share of smaller and older homes that clear quickly at lower price points. The dataset does not support a causal claim that HOA status produces higher prices; it supports the observation that HOA-associated properties had a higher median sale price, a longer median time on market, and a marginally stronger median sale-to-list ratio in the observed transactions.
Price bands: the $350,000–$400,000 band is the market's center, and $400,000–$450,000 is its most competitive
The $350,000–$400,000 band was the single largest price band with 184 sales, or 19.7% of the market. The $400,000–$450,000 band followed at 150 sales, and $300,000–$350,000 at 139. Together, the $300,000–$450,000 range accounted for 473 sales — just over half of all transactions — making it the true center of Kennesaw's resale market.
Negotiation behavior varies meaningfully across bands. In the $400,000–$450,000 band, 37 of 150 sales closed at list and 14 closed above list, with 36 closing 4% below — the highest concentration of at-list and above-list outcomes of any large band. The $350,000–$400,000 band saw 58 of 184 sales at list, with 30 at 4% below and 24 at 2% below. By contrast, the $250,000–$300,000 band (85 sales) shows a heavier discount tail: 16 sales at 2% below, 13 at 4% below, and 10 at 6% below, with only 14 at list. The $300,000–$350,000 band (139 sales) had 28 at list but 24 at 4% below and 23 at 6% below.
The pattern is that the market's most competitive negotiation zone sits just above the median, in the $400,000–$450,000 band, while the bands below $350,000 show more consistent seller concession. At the top, the $1M+ band (32 sales) is the most concession-heavy large band in the dataset: 7 sales closed 4% below list, 4 at 6% below, 4 at 8% below, and 2 at more than 20% below, with only 2 at list. The $500,000–$550,000 band (64 sales) was notably at-list-heavy, with 21 of 64 sales closing at list and 16 at 4% below — a tighter distribution than the bands immediately below it.
The $450,000–$500,000 band (72 sales) also skewed toward list, with 26 of 72 at list and 9 at 2% below. Bands above $550,000 thin out quickly: $550,000–$600,000 had 37 sales, $600,000–$650,000 had 21, $650,000–$700,000 had 34, $700,000–$750,000 had 22, $750,000–$800,000 had 24, and $800,000–$850,000 had 20. Above $850,000, transaction counts fall into single digits or low teens per band, and comparisons across those bands are not statistically reliable.
What the segments collectively say
The market's liquidity is concentrated in a narrow band of product: single-family homes, four bedrooms, two baths, built between 1980 and 1999, priced between $350,000 and $450,000. That configuration sells in roughly two weeks at close to 99% of list. Everything outside that core — attached product, six-plus bedrooms, one-bath homes, pre-1980 construction, and the $1M+ tier — takes longer and concedes more. The gap between the fastest segment (4-bed/2-bath at 14 days) and the slowest meaningful segment (6-plus-bed/other-bath at 50 days) is more than three weeks, and the gap in sale-to-list ratio between the strongest (98.9%) and weakest (94.5%) meaningful configurations is more than four percentage points. Those spreads are the actionable intelligence in this dataset: they define where sellers have leverage and where they do not.
Pricing & Negotiation Dynamics
Kennesaw's 12-month median sale price was $410,000 across 933 public sales records, with a median of $188 per square foot and a median 24 days on market. Those headline figures conceal a market that is sharply bifurcated on both speed and price discipline — and the two splits do not overlap the way most buyers assume.
Velocity is barbelled, not bell-shaped. Of 932 transactions with recorded days on market, 251 — 26.9% — closed within 7 days, and 40.2% closed within 14 days. At the other end, 202 sales, or 21.7%, took 64 days or longer. The middle is comparatively thin: only 15.1% of sales landed in the 29–49 day window. This is a market with a fast lane and a slow lane and relatively little traffic in between. Buyers who miss on a well-priced listing are not competing in a gradual continuum; they are either in the first-week scrum or shopping the stale inventory that has already been passed over.

The fast lane is a four-bedroom lane. Four-bedroom homes were the fastest-selling segment at a median of 16 days across 280 sales, and they also posted the strongest sale-to-list performance of any bedroom count at a median of 98.35% of list. The specific configuration of 4 bedrooms and 2 baths — 133 sales — was faster still at a median of 14 days and a median sale-to-list of 98.93%, the strongest pricing outcome of any bed/bath combination with a meaningful sample. Five-bedroom, four-bath homes were nearly as quick at 21 days and 98.79% of list across 47 sales. The pattern is consistent: the market pays up and moves fast for four-bedroom, two-bath product, which is the deepest pool of demand in this city.
The slow lane is large, new, and expensive. Homes built in 2020 or later took a median of 41 days — more than double the 18-day median for the 1980–1999 cohort that accounts for 438 sales, or 47.1% of the market. Six-bedroom-plus homes took a median of 36 days and returned only 96.00% of list, the weakest sale-to-list of any bedroom tier. The most extreme configuration, six-plus bedrooms with five or more baths, sat a median of 50 days and closed at 94.57% of list across just 14 sales — a small sample, but the direction is unambiguous and consistent with the broader high-end pattern. Townhouses were the slowest property type at a median of 43 days across 135 sales, versus 20 days for single-family homes.
Negotiation is the norm, not the exception. Across 932 transactions with a recorded list price, 65.5% sold below list, 25.8% sold at list, and only 8.8% sold above list. The single largest concentration of sales — 240 transactions — closed at exactly 0% change, and the modal discount was in the 4% range, with 169 sales. Discounts of 6% or more accounted for 106 sales, and 8% or more for 71. Premiums were rare and small: 35 sales at +2%, 21 at +4%, and only 8 transactions above +20%.
Price band determines who holds the leverage. The $350–400K band — the single largest segment at 184 sales, or 19.7% of the market — shows the most balanced negotiation profile: 58 sales at list, 30 at −4%, 24 at −2%, and a meaningful tail of premiums including 7 at +2%, 6 at +4%, and 2 above +20%. The $400–450K band is even more competitive at the top end, with 37 sales at list, 36 at −4%, 20 at −2%, and 14 at +2% — the highest count of above-list sales of any band. Buyers in the $400–450K range are the most likely in the city to face competition.
The $300–350K band tells a different story. Despite 139 sales, it produced 28 at list against 24 at −4%, 23 at −6%, 21 at −2%, and 16 at −8% — a visibly heavier discount skew, with 8 sales at −10% and 8 at −12%. The $250–300K band is weaker still: 16 sales at −2%, 14 at list, 13 at −4%, and 10 at −6%, with a long left tail including 6 at −14% and 6 at −12%. At the entry level, sellers are conceding.
The $500–550K band is the most disciplined above $500K: 21 sales at list, 16 at −4%, 13 at −2%, and only a handful of deep discounts. But the $1M+ tier is where pricing power collapses. Of 32 sales, 7 closed at −4%, 4 at −6%, 4 at −8%, 4 at −2%, and 2 at list — with 2 sales below −20% and one above +20%. Luxury sellers in Kennesaw are negotiating from a position of weakness, and the data shows it in the distribution rather than the median.
HOA properties sold for more but took longer. Homes with an HOA posted a median sale price of $439,950 versus $359,000 for non-HOA homes — a 22.5% gap — but also a median of 26 days on market versus 20.5 days. That is a correlation, not a causal claim: HOA communities in this dataset skew toward newer, larger, and higher-priced product, and the price gap reflects that composition rather than any premium attributable to the HOA itself.
Where buyers have room, and where they do not. The clearest negotiating room sits in the $250–350K range, in townhouses (median 43 days, 97.47% of list), in homes built before 1980 (96.58% of list across 93 sales), and in the $1M+ tier. The clearest seller leverage sits in the $400–450K band, in four-bedroom/two-bath single-family homes, and in the 1980–1999 construction cohort, which combined the fastest median DOM (18 days) with the strongest sale-to-list of any era (98.45%) across 438 sales.
Seasonal / Historical Patterns
The dataset covers 12 months, from September 2025 through August 2026. That is enough to describe an observed monthly pattern. It is not enough to establish recurring multi-year seasonality, and no claim below should be read as a multi-year norm.
Volume peaked in March and bottomed in January. March 2026 recorded 103 sales, the highest of any month, while January 2026 recorded 55, the lowest — a 48-unit swing. The three months from September to November 2025 averaged 82 sales per month; the most recent three months, June through August 2026, averaged 67, an 18.7% decline. The market has been running cooler on volume as the year progressed, even as prices moved higher.

Prices peaked in July and troughed in October. The highest monthly median price was $452,500 in July 2026; the lowest was $385,000 in October 2025. That is a 6.0% span across the 12-month window. The largest single month-over-month move was April 2026, at +13.2%, following a March median of $395,000. The most recent month, August 2026, posted a median of $415,000 — down 8.3% from July's peak but still above the 12-month median of $410,000.
The price trend is upward on a smoothed basis. The most recent three months came in 2.8% above the prior three, and the most recent six months came in 6.0% above the prior six. That is a modest but consistent upward drift, and it sits alongside the volume decline rather than contradicting it: fewer transactions are clearing, but the ones that do are clearing at higher prices.
Supply has loosened materially. Active listings rose from 313 in October 2025 to 369 in August 2026. Months of supply climbed from 3.96 to 5.67 over the same span. The pending-to-active ratio fell from 0.3259 to 0.2889. The tightest reading in the dataset was March 2026, when months of supply hit 2.58 and pending-to-active reached 0.501 — the market's most competitive month. By August, that ratio had fallen to 0.2889, its lowest of the 12 months. The spring window was the seller's window; the late-summer window is not.
The seasonal read, stated carefully. The observed pattern in this single year is a spring volume and competition peak (March–April), a summer price peak (July), a fall price trough (October), and a winter volume trough (January). Whether that repeats is not something 12 months of data can establish. What the data does show is that the gap between the March 2026 supply reading of 2.58 months and the August 2026 reading of 5.67 months is the single largest structural shift in the dataset — larger than any price move — and it is the number most likely to matter to anyone transacting in the months ahead.
Buyer Intelligence
Where the leverage actually is. Across 932 public sales records with a list price attached, 65.5% closed below asking, 25.8% closed at asking, and only 8.8% closed above. That is the single most important number in this report for a buyer: roughly two out of every three transactions in Kennesaw over the trailing 12 months involved the seller accepting less than the published price. The 12-month median sale price was $410,000, the median sale-to-list ratio for single-family homes was 98.03, and the median days on market was 24.
Leverage is not evenly distributed — it is concentrated in the upper price bands. The 1M+ band is the most concession-heavy segment in the dataset: of 32 recorded sales, 2 closed more than 20% below list, 1 at −20%, 1 at −18%, 1 at −16%, 2 at −12%, 2 at −10%, 4 at −8%, 4 at −6%, and 7 at −4%. Only 2 closed at list and just 1 above. In other words, the modal 1M+ transaction cleared 4% under asking, and roughly a third of that band cleared 8% or more under asking. Compare that to the 350–400K band — the city's dominant price band at 19.7% of all sales — where 58 of 184 sales closed exactly at list and the deepest discount cluster sits at −4% (30 sales) and −2% (24 sales). The high end is where a buyer can realistically negotiate; the mid-band is where sellers are holding the line.

The 250–300K band is the second softest pocket. Of 85 sales, 16 closed at −2%, 14 at list, 13 at −4%, 10 at −6%, and 6 each at −8%, −12%, and −14%. That is a long left tail: 3 sales closed more than 20% below list and 2 at −18%. A buyer shopping under $300,000 in Kennesaw is operating in a band where double-digit discounts are occurring with real frequency, not as outliers.
What sells fastest. Four-bedroom homes moved in a median of 16 days across 280 sales — the fastest of any bedroom count and materially faster than the 24-day citywide median. The 4-bed/2-bath configuration specifically moved in a median of 14 days across 133 sales, the fastest bed-bath combination with meaningful volume, and it also posted the strongest sale-to-list ratio in the dataset at 98.93. Homes built 1980–1999 moved in a median of 18 days across 438 sales — 47.1% of all transactions — and posted a 98.45 median sale-to-list. By property type, single-family homes moved in a median of 20 days versus 43 for townhouses and 38.5 for condos.
What sits. Townhouses are the slowest major segment at a 43-day median across 135 sales, more than double the single-family pace, and they also carry the weakest sale-to-list ratio among the three major types at 97.47. Condos are close behind at 38.5 days and 97.32. Newer construction is also slow: homes built 2020 or later sat a median of 41 days across 87 sales, versus 18 days for the 1980–1999 cohort. Homes with six or more bedrooms sat a median of 36 days across 53 sales and posted the weakest sale-to-list ratio of any bedroom count at 96.00.
Where relative value sits. The 1980–1999 cohort is the clearest value-plus-liquidity combination in the data: 438 sales, a $399,000 median price (below the $410,000 citywide median), an 18-day median DOM, and a 98.45 median sale-to-list. A buyer gets the deepest inventory pool, the fastest resale velocity, and the strongest clearing ratio in the same segment. By contrast, the 2010–2019 cohort carries a $755,000 median across 63 sales — the highest of any era — with a 24-day median DOM and a 97.18 sale-to-list, meaning the newest non-new-build stock is both the most expensive and slightly softer on price than the 1980s–90s stock.
HOA status cuts both ways. HOA properties posted a $439,950 median price versus $359,000 for non-HOA — a 22.5% gap — but also a 26-day median DOM versus 20.5 days, and a 98.00 median sale-to-list versus 97.52. The non-HOA segment is smaller (293 sales, 31.4%) but moves faster and clears at a marginally lower ratio. A buyer weighing HOA versus non-HOA should note that the non-HOA pool is roughly a third of the market and turns over faster.
What buyers should watch. The supply picture has shifted against buyers' favor in one specific way: months of supply stood at 5.67 in 2026-08 with 369 active listings, 126 new listings, 106 pending sales, and 65 homes sold, versus 3.96 months of supply a year earlier. The pending-to-active ratio fell from 0.3259 to 0.2889 over the same comparison. More inventory on the market with a lower absorption rate means more standing stock — which is negotiating leverage — but it also means the homes that do sell are the ones priced correctly. The 2026-08 median price was $415,000, down 8.3% from the 2026-07 median of $452,500, the peak month of the trailing 12. The 3-month median is up 2.8% versus the prior three months and up 6.0% over six months, so the monthly dip is a single-month move inside a rising trend, not a reversal.
So what: A Kennesaw buyer with a budget above $1M should treat the list price as an opening bid and expect to clear 4–8% under asking based on the observed distribution; a buyer in the 350–400K band should expect to pay at or very near list and should compete on terms rather than price. Buyers targeting 4-bed/2-bath homes built between 1980 and 1999 are shopping the fastest-clearing, deepest-inventory segment in the city and should be prepared to move within two weeks of a listing going live.
Seller Intelligence
The speed benchmark. The 12-month median DOM was 24 days. But 26.9% of the 932 sales with DOM data closed within 7 days and 40.2% closed within 14 days. At the other end, 21.7% sat 64 days or longer, and 202 sales — more than a fifth of the market — fell into that bucket. The distribution is bimodal: homes either sell in under two weeks or they sit for two months or more, with relatively little in between. The 15–21 day bucket held 67 sales and the 22–28 day bucket held 74, so the middle of the distribution is thin.
What sells fastest. Four-bedroom homes: 16-day median across 280 sales. The 4-bed/2-bath combination: 14-day median across 133 sales, with a 98.93 median sale-to-list — the best clearing ratio of any bed-bath pairing with volume. Homes built 1980–1999: 18-day median across 438 sales. Single-family homes: 20-day median across 745 sales. If a seller's property sits in any of these buckets, the data says the market will reward it quickly.

What sits and what gets discounted. Townhouses: 43-day median across 135 sales, 97.47 sale-to-list. Condos: 38.5-day median across 46 sales, 97.32 sale-to-list. Homes built 2020 or later: 41-day median across 87 sales. Homes with six or more bedrooms: 36-day median across 53 sales and a 96.00 median sale-to-list — the weakest of any bedroom count. The 4-bed/"Others" bath configuration (22 sales) posted a 94.46 sale-to-list, the weakest bed-bath ratio in the dataset, though the sample is small. Homes built 1950–1979 posted a 96.58 median sale-to-list across 93 sales — the weakest era ratio — meaning older stock is where the largest percentage concessions are being recorded.
Pricing discipline is not uniform across the market. In the 350–400K band, 58 of 184 sales closed at list and only 2 closed more than 20% below — the band is tight. In the 250–300K band, 3 of 85 closed more than 20% below and 2 at −18%, with only 14 at list. In the 1M+ band, only 2 of 32 closed at list. The practical read: pricing precision matters most in the 350–400K band, where the market punishes overpricing by simply not transacting, and matters least at the top, where the market punishes overpricing by extracting a large discount.
HOA dynamics. HOA properties (640 sales, 68.6% of the market) posted a $439,950 median price and a 26-day median DOM. Non-HOA properties (293 sales, 31.4%) posted a $359,000 median and a 20.5-day median DOM. The non-HOA segment sells faster and clears at a slightly lower ratio (97.52 vs 98.00). This is a correlation in the observed transactions, not a causal claim about HOA fees — the two pools differ in age, type, and price, and the dataset does not isolate those effects.
New construction versus existing stock. Homes built 2020 or later (87 sales, 9.4% of the market) carried a $469,900 median price and sat a median of 41 days with a 97.81 sale-to-list. Homes built 1980–1999 (438 sales) carried a $399,000 median, sat 18 days, and cleared at 98.45. Newer stock is priced roughly 17.8% above the 1980s–90s cohort but takes more than twice as long to sell and clears at a lower ratio. That is the competitive gap a seller of new or near-new construction is working against.
Velocity by ZIP. The dataset's subdivision snapshot is drawn from the 30144 and 30152 ZIPs, which are the two ZIPs whose primary city is Kennesaw. Among subdivisions with active inventory, LEGACY PARK (30144) shows 18 active listings at a $442,450 median list and 48-day median DOM; OAK RIDGE (30144) shows 15 active at $399,000 and 41 days; THE VINEYARDS (30144) shows 11 active at $314,900 and 68 days; WESTOVER (30152) shows 10 active at $465,000 and 57 days; KENNESAW (30152) shows 9 active at $795,914 and 16 days. The KENNESAW (30152) cluster is the outlier — the highest median list price in the top-volume group paired with the fastest DOM, suggesting a small, high-demand pocket. The dataset does not contain subdivision-level closed-sale counts for the month, so subdivision liquidity cannot be ranked on closings.
So what: A Kennesaw seller of a 4-bed/2-bath home built in the 1980s or 1990s is in the strongest position the data supports — fastest median DOM, deepest buyer pool, best clearing ratio. A seller of a townhouse, a condo, or a 2020-or-later build should plan for a median 38–43 day marketing window and should expect to clear roughly 2–2.5% under list rather than at list. A seller in the 350–400K band should price to the observed at-list cluster, because that band's buyers are paying list and walking away from anything priced above it.
Agent Intelligence
Where the volume is. Kennesaw recorded 933 sales over the trailing 12 months for $451,679,000 in total volume, at a $410,000 median price and a $188 median price per square foot. Single-family homes were 79.8% of transactions (745 sales), townhouses 14.5% (135), condos 4.9% (46), and other types 0.8% (7). The dominant price band was 350–400K at 19.7% of sales, followed by 300–350K at 139 sales and 400–450K at 150 sales. Roughly 51% of all transactions fell between $300,000 and $450,000.
Where the business concentrates by configuration. Three-bed/2-bath homes were 302 sales — 32.5% of the market — the single largest configuration. Four-bed/2-bath was 133 sales (14.3%) and 4-bed/3-bath was 125 sales (13.5%). Together, 3-bed and 4-bed homes accounted for 684 of 933 sales, or roughly 73% of the market. Two-bath homes were 509 sales (54.8%) and three-bath homes 268 (28.8%). An agent whose pipeline is built around 3–4 bed, 2–3 bath homes is fishing in the deepest part of the pond.

Where homes are sitting. The 64+ day bucket held 202 sales — 21.7% of the market. Townhouses (43-day median) and condos (38.5-day median) are the slowest property types. Homes built 2020 or later (41-day median) and homes with six or more bedrooms (36-day median) are the slowest by attribute. At the subdivision level, VILLAS AT BARRETT LAKES (30144) shows a 151-day median DOM across 4 active listings at a $322,500 median list; OWENS MEADOW (30152) shows 142 days across 4 active at $552,000; SUMMERHOUR (30152) shows 111 days across 3 active at $704,900; HAMILTON TOWNSHIP (30152) shows 105 days across 3 active at $850,000; OVERLOOK AT MARIETTA CC (30152) shows 103 days across 4 active at $1,497,000. These are small active-listing counts, not closed-sale counts, so they describe standing inventory rather than absorption — but they identify where listing agents are currently carrying long-market-time product.
Where negotiation margins are largest. The 1M+ band: 32 sales, with 2 above −20%, 1 at −20%, 1 at −18%, 1 at −16%, 2 at −12%, 2 at −10%, 4 at −8%, 4 at −6%, and 7 at −4%. The 250–300K band: 85 sales with 3 above −20%, 2 at −18%, 2 at −16%, 6 at −14%, 6 at −12%. These are the two bands where an agent's pricing conversation with a seller needs to be most conservative.
Where the market is tightest. The 350–400K band: 184 sales, 58 at list, 30 at −4%, 24 at −2%, and only 2 above −20%. The 400–450K band: 150 sales, 37 at list, 36 at −4%, 20 at −2%, 14 at +2%, and 3 above +20%. The 500–550K band: 64 sales, 21 at list, 16 at −4%, 13 at −2%. These three bands — 350–400K, 400–450K, and 500–550K — are where the at-list and near-list clusters are densest. That is where competitive listings win and overpriced listings stall.
Where the market is shifting. Sales volume averaged 82 per month across 2025-09 through 2025-11 and 67 per month across 2026-06 through 2026-08 — an 18.7% decline in the trailing three-month average versus the opening three-month average. Peak volume was 103 sales in 2026-03; trough was 55 in 2026-01. Active listings climbed from 313 in 2025-10 to 369 in 2026-08, while pending sales fell from 102 to 106 and homes sold from 79 to 65. Months of supply rose from 3.96 to 5.67. The pending-to-active ratio fell from 0.3259 to 0.2889. The market is carrying more inventory against a slower absorption rate.
Price direction. The 12-month median price span change was +6.0%, from a $385,000 trough in 2025-10 to a $452,500 peak in 2026-07. The 6-month median is up 6.0% versus the prior six months; the 3-month median is up 2.8% versus the prior three. The largest single-month move was +13.2% in 2026-04. The most recent month, 2026-08, posted a $415,000 median — down 8.3% from July's peak but still above the 12-month median of $410,000.
So what: An agent building a Kennesaw business plan should weight prospecting toward 3–4 bed, 2–3 bath single-family homes built between 1980 and 1999, which represent the deepest, fastest-clearing inventory pool in the city. Listing agents carrying townhouse, condo, or 2020-or-later product should set expectations for a 38–43 day median marketing window and a clearing ratio near 97.3–97.8. Agents with seller clients above $1M should prepare a discount narrative up front, because the observed 1M+ distribution shows the modal transaction clearing 4% under list and a meaningful minority clearing 8% or more under.
Investor Intelligence
Liquidity and concentration. Kennesaw recorded 933 sales and $451,679,000 in total volume over 12 months. Single-family homes were 79.8% of transactions; townhouses 14.5%; condos 4.9%. The 350–400K band alone was 19.7% of sales. The dataset's city-level concentration is total — all 933 sales are attributed to Kennesaw — so there is no cross-city comparison available within this data. The subdivision snapshot covers 51 subdivisions across the 30144 and 30152 ZIPs, but reports active-listing medians and zero closed sales for the month, so subdivision-level transaction liquidity cannot be ranked from this dataset.
Lower acquisition prices with real liquidity. The 250–300K band recorded 85 sales — the third-deepest band below $400,000 — with a median price of $285,000 for the ≤2-bed cohort and a $359,450 median for 3-bed/2-bath. The 300–350K band recorded 139 sales. The 1980–1999 build cohort, which is the largest era cohort at 438 sales (47.1%), carried a $399,000 median price and an 18-day median DOM — the fastest of any era. That combination of below-median price, deep volume, and fast turnover is the most liquid low-price pocket in the data.

Where discounts are largest. The 1M+ band shows the widest spread between asking and clearing: of 32 sales, 7 closed at −4%, 4 at −6%, 4 at −8%, 2 at −10%, 2 at −12%, 1 at −16%, 1 at −18%, 1 at −20%, and 2 beyond −20%. The 250–300K band shows the second-widest spread: 3 sales beyond −20%, 2 at −18%, 2 at −16%, 6 at −14%, 6 at −12%. The 200–250K band, though small at 17 sales, shows 4 sales beyond −20% and 2 at −16% — a high proportion of deep discounts in a thin sample.
Older housing stock. Homes built 1950–1979 (93 sales, 10.0% of the market) carried a $325,000 median price — the lowest of any era — with a 26-day median DOM and a 96.58 median sale-to-list, the weakest era ratio. Homes built 1980–1999 (438 sales) carried a $399,000 median, an 18-day median DOM, and a 98.45 sale-to-list. The pre-1980 cohort is where the largest percentage concessions are being recorded; the 1980s–90s cohort is where the fastest turnover is occurring.
Price trends. The 12-month median price rose 6.0% from the 2025-10 trough of $385,000 to the 2026-07 peak of $452,500. The 6-month median is up 6.0% versus the prior six months and the 3-month median is up 2.8% versus the prior three. The most recent month posted a $415,000 median, down 8.3% month-over-month. Sales volume averaged 67 per month in the trailing three months versus 82 in the opening three — an 18.7% decline. Months of supply rose from 3.96 to 5.67 year-over-year.
Where the data does not reach. This dataset does not contain rental rates, income, expenses, occupancy, cap rates, or cash-on-cash returns. Rental yield, cap rate, and investment return cannot be calculated from the supplied data. Lot size is not available. Named agents and brokerages are not available. Multi-year seasonality is not available — the window is 12 months, 2025-09 through 2026-08.
So what: An investor evaluating Kennesaw should note that the deepest-volume, fastest-turnover, below-median-price pocket is the 1980–1999 single-family cohort in the 300–400K range, and that the widest asking-to-clearing spreads are concentrated in the 1M+ and 250–300K bands. The observable characteristics worth further investigation are the 18-day median DOM and 98.45 sale-to-list in the 1980s–90s cohort, the 22.5% median price gap between HOA and non-HOA properties, and the 5.67 months of supply against a declining trailing-three-month sales average — but any yield, return, or cash-flow conclusion requires income and expense data this dataset does not contain.
Market Discoveries
1. Kennesaw's market is bifurcated into a fast lane and a stalled lane — and the fast lane is shrinking. Of 932 transactions with a recorded days-on-market figure, 26.9% closed within 7 days and 40.2% within 14 days, but 21.7% took 64 days or longer. The 0–7 day bucket alone (251 sales) is larger than the 15–28 day buckets combined (141). This is not a market with a "typical" timeline; it is a market where roughly two in five homes sell almost immediately and one in five sits for more than two months.
2. The $350–400K band is the market's center of gravity — and it is also where sellers hold the firmest line. That band accounts for 19.7% of all sales (184 transactions), the single largest concentration. Within it, 58 of 184 sales closed at exactly list price (31.5%), the highest at-list share of any band with meaningful volume. The $400–450K band, by contrast, saw 37 at-list out of 150 (24.7%) but also 14 sales at +2% and 3 above +20% — a wider dispersion around the same anchor.

3. Townhouses cost 21% less than single-family homes but sell for more per square foot. Single-family homes posted a 12-month median of $421,200 at $186/sqft; townhouses posted $332,000 at $198/sqft. The townhouse discount is a price discount, not a value discount — buyers are paying a premium per square foot for the smaller footprint. Condos go further still: $204/sqft on a $352,500 median.
4. The slowest-selling property type is also the one with the most inventory pressure. Townhouses carried a median DOM of 43 days versus 20 for single-family and 38.5 for condos. With 135 townhouse sales in the period, this is a statistically meaningful gap, not noise. Townhouse sellers are competing against a deeper field of similar units.
5. New construction (2020+) is the slowest-moving age cohort despite carrying a premium price. Homes built 2020 or later posted a median DOM of 41 days on 87 sales, versus 18 days for the 1980–1999 cohort (438 sales) — the fastest and largest group. The 2020+ cohort's median price of $469,900 sits well above the 1980–1999 median of $399,000, but that premium comes with more than double the marketing time.
6. The HOA premium is large — 22.5% — but HOA homes also take longer to sell. HOA properties posted a 12-month median of $439,950 versus $359,000 for non-HOA, a $80,950 gap. But HOA homes carried a median DOM of 26 days versus 20.5 for non-HOA. The price gap likely reflects what HOA communities contain (newer, larger, amenitized homes) rather than HOA status causing value; the DOM gap suggests HOA properties face a narrower buyer pool or more complex closing logistics.
7. Four-bedroom homes are the market's sweet spot for speed and pricing power. The 4-bedroom segment (280 sales, 30.1% of the market) posted a median DOM of 16 days — the fastest of any bedroom count — and a median sale-to-list of 98.35%, the strongest. The 4-bed/2-bath configuration alone accounted for 133 sales at a median of $415,000 and a median DOM of 14 days, with a 98.93% sale-to-list ratio. That specific configuration is the most liquid product in Kennesaw.
8. The largest homes are the hardest to sell. Properties with 6+ bedrooms (53 sales) posted a median DOM of 36 days and the weakest sale-to-list ratio of any bedroom count at 96.00%. The 6+ bed / 4+ bath / "Others" configuration (14 sales) was the slowest of any bed-bath combination at 50 days median DOM and a 94.57% sale-to-list. At the top of the size spectrum, buyers have leverage.
9. Negotiation behavior varies dramatically by price band — and the $250–300K band is the most discount-driven. In that band, 16 of 85 sales (18.8%) closed at -2% and 13 at -4%, with 10 at -6%. Only 14 closed at list. Compare that to the $350–400K band, where 58 of 184 closed at list. Lower-priced sellers are conceding more; mid-market sellers are holding firmer.
10. The market's momentum is price-positive but volume-negative over the past year. The 12-month median price moved from $385,000 in October 2025 (the trough) to $452,500 in July 2026 (the peak), a 6.0% span change, with the most recent month at $415,000. But the most recent three months averaged 67 sales per month versus 82 in the first three months — an 18.7% decline. Prices are holding or rising while transaction volume contracts.
Market Outlook
The observed momentum in Kennesaw's public sales records over the 12 months ending August 2026 is one of price resilience against fading volume. The 12-month median price of $410,000 sits above the October 2025 trough of $385,000, and the 6-month versus prior-6-month change is +6.0%. The 3-month versus prior-3-month change is +2.8%, confirming that the upward price drift is not a single-month artifact. The most recent month's median of $415,000 is $37,500 below the July peak of $452,500, but still $30,000 above the October trough.
Volume tells the opposite story. The most recent three months averaged 67 sales per month against 82 in the first three months — an 18.7% decline. Active listings have climbed from 245 in January 2026 to 369 in August 2026, and months of supply has risen from 2.58 in March to 5.67 in August. The pending-to-active ratio has fallen from a March peak of 0.501 to 0.289 in August, meaning a smaller share of the standing inventory is converting to contracts.

The negotiation data reinforces the shift. Of 932 transactions with a recorded list price, 65.5% closed below list, 25.8% at list, and 8.8% above. The market is not collapsing — a quarter of sales still close at the asking price — but the balance has tilted toward buyers in the segments where inventory is deepest. Townhouses (43-day median DOM) and new construction (41-day median DOM) are the clearest examples of where that tilt is most visible.
What the data does not support is a forecast. The dataset covers 12 months of sales and 11 months of listing snapshots; it does not contain multi-year seasonality, mortgage rates, or forward-looking indicators. The observed pattern — rising prices, falling volume, rising supply — is the current state, not a prediction. Whether the volume decline continues or reverses will depend on factors outside this dataset.
