ZIP 30062 housing market

On a smoothed basis the price trend still reads positive. The median rose 7.2% comparing the last three months to the prior three, and 10.1% comparing the last six months to the prior six. That gap between the strong six-month trend and the weak final month is the central tension in this market: the year-over-year and half-year comparisons look healthy, but the most recent data point shows a sharp deceleration.

Negotiation behavior reinforces the shift toward buyers. With 57.6% of deals closing below list and only 16.7% above, sellers who priced to the spring's peak faced a different market by late summer. The market is best described as stabilizing after a spring run-up — still moving, but with buyers regaining leverage and sellers needing to price to current conditions rather than the July high.

That tail is the defining geographic story of 30062. The dominant single price band is $400,000–$450,000 at 12.1% of transactions, but the bands above $1M collectively account for 70 sales — a larger block than any single band below $650,000 except the $400–450K and $500–550K tiers. In other words, this is not a market with one center of gravity; it is a mid-market ZIP with a substantial luxury overlay. The $400,000–$450,000 band (76 sales) and the $500,000–$550,000 band (75 sales) are effectively tied as the volume leaders, with $450–500K close behind at 63.

Price per square foot does not track price level in a straight line. The lowest median $/sqft among property types belongs to townhouses at $202, while condos — the smallest sample at just 6 sales — post the highest at $245.50. Single-family homes, which are 93.9% of all transactions, sit at $219. The implication for buyers is that square footage is priced differently depending on product type, and the cheapest homes per foot are not the cheapest homes overall.

Speed is remarkably uniform across the ZIP at the median but not across the distribution. The median DOM is 14 days, yet 34.1% of sales closed within 7 days and 51.2% within 14. At the other end, 17.1% of transactions took 64 days or longer — a bimodal market where homes either move almost immediately or sit for two months or more, with relatively little in between. Only 20 sales landed in the 29–35 day bucket, the thinnest of the ten DOM bands.

Negotiation behavior reinforces that split. Of the 623 transactions with a recorded list price, 57.6% closed below list, 25.7% closed at list, and 16.7% closed above. The single largest price-change bucket is exactly 0% at 160 sales, meaning a quarter of the market transacted at the asking number — a sign of disciplined pricing rather than a broadly discounting market.

At the top of the price range, Easthampton lists at a median $1,059,000, Creekside Bluffs and Walton Reserve both at $999,000. Creekside Bluffs is the outlier worth flagging: its median list price of $999,000 pairs with the highest $/sqft in the set at $286.26 and a median 151 days on market — a combination of top-tier pricing and very slow absorption. Walton Reserve, at the same $999,000 median list price, shows only 29 days on market, so identical asking prices are producing radically different market responses depending on the subdivision.

At the bottom, Chestnut Creek lists at a median $164,000 with a median 103 days on market — the lowest list price and the third-slowest clock in the snapshot. Anderson Mill follows at $299,900 with 62 days. The spread between Chestnut Creek's $164,000 and Easthampton's $1,059,000 is roughly 6.5x within a single ZIP.

The fastest-listing subdivisions are Hunters Trace (19 days), East Park (23 days) and Newcastle (25 days). The slowest are Cedar Forks (161 days), Creekside Bluffs (151 days) and Chestnut Creek (103 days). Notably, the slowest group is not uniformly expensive — Cedar Forks lists at a median $560,000 and Chestnut Creek at $164,000, so slow absorption in this snapshot is not simply a function of price level.

Every subdivision in the snapshot has between 3 and 7 current listings. At that depth, a single listing entering or leaving the market can move the median materially, so these figures should be treated as directional indicators of asking-price positioning rather than stable measurements. No subdivision here has enough current inventory to support a reliable months-of-supply calculation, and the dataset reports none.

Geographic concentration is total but uninformative: all 627 sales occurred in Marietta, so the top-city share is 100% and the city-level Herfindahl index is 10,000 by definition. There is no second city in this dataset to compare against, and no county or multi-ZIP layer is present. The concentration question that actually matters for 30062 is answered at the product and price-band level, not the geographic level.

The clearest concentration signal in the data is structural rather than spatial. With 53.7% of sales carrying an HOA and 46.3% not, the ZIP splits nearly in half on governance structure — and those two halves behave differently. HOA properties recorded a 12-month median sale price of $640,000 versus $487,000 for non-HOA properties, a 31.4% gap, and sold in a median 11 days versus 16. That gap reflects what HOA-governed housing stock is in this ZIP — newer, larger, and differently located — rather than any effect of the HOA itself; the dataset does not support a causal reading. But for a buyer comparing two similarly priced homes, the HOA/non-HOA split is the single sharpest dividing line in the market, separating a faster-moving, higher-priced segment from a slower, lower-priced one.

Liquidity tells the opposite story. Condos moved fastest, with a median of 11.5 days on market across 6 sales, and single-family homes were close behind at 13.0 days across 589 sales. Townhouses were the slowest segment in the ZIP by a wide margin at 36.5 days — nearly three times the single-family median. The negotiation margin follows the same pattern: condos closed at a median of 99.29% of list price, single-family at 98.70%, and townhouses at 96.28%. Townhouse sellers in 30062 conceded roughly 2.4 percentage points more of their asking price than single-family sellers, and waited roughly 23 additional days to do it.

The honest reading of the townhouse data is that it is a small, slow, and price-conceding niche — 28 sales is enough to describe the segment's behavior over this window but not enough to forecast it. The condo segment is smaller still at 6 sales, and its apparent advantages (fastest DOM, strongest sale-to-list, highest $/sqft) rest on a sample too thin to treat as a market characteristic. The "Others" category, at 4 sales and a median sale-to-list of 90.55%, is statistically meaningless and is reported only for completeness.

Bedrooms: the four-bedroom market is the market

Four-bedroom homes are the center of gravity in 30062. They accounted for 251 of 627 sales — 40.2% of all transactions — and they were simultaneously the fastest-moving bedroom count (12.0-day median DOM) and the strongest negotiators' segment, with a median sale-to-list of 99.20%. No other bedroom count combines that volume, that speed, and that pricing discipline.

Three-bedroom homes were the second-largest group at 180 sales (28.8%), with a 12-month median price of $435,000, a 15.0-day median DOM, and a median sale-to-list of 98.00%. Five-bedroom homes added 122 sales (19.6%) at a $780,000 median, 14.5 days, and 99.02% of list. The two tails behave very differently. Homes with two or fewer bedrooms — 22 sales, 3.5% of the market — were the slowest segment at a 39.5-day median DOM and the weakest on price realization at 96.36% of list, with a $284,500 median. Homes with six or more bedrooms — 49 sales, 7.9% — carried the highest median price in the ZIP at $1,227,500, but took 20.0 days to sell, slower than every segment except the two-bedroom-and-under group.

The practical implication is that the 30062 market rewards the four-bedroom configuration disproportionately. A four-bedroom home sold roughly 3.5 days faster than a three-bedroom and 8 days faster than a six-bedroom, while giving up less than 1% of list price. Buyers shopping three-bedroom homes should note that they are competing in a segment that is both large and slightly softer on price than the four-bedroom tier — a 98.00% median sale-to-list versus 99.20% is a meaningful difference on a $435,000 home, worth roughly $5,200 at the closing table.

Bathrooms: two-bath inventory dominates, five-bath homes sell fastest

Two-bathroom homes are the modal configuration in 30062, with 325 sales — 52.1% of the market — at a $490,000 median and a 14.0-day median DOM. Three-bath homes followed at 166 sales (26.6%), a $575,000 median, 13.0 days, and the strongest median sale-to-list of any bathroom count at 99.10%. Four-bath homes, 66 sales (10.6%), posted an $840,000 median at 14.0 days and 98.00% of list.

The most interesting bathroom data point is the five-bath segment: 41 sales, a $1,249,995 median, and a 9.0-day median DOM — the fastest of any bathroom group in the ZIP. That is a genuine outlier. Five-bath homes sold roughly 5 days faster than the market-wide 14.0-day median despite carrying a price roughly 2.3 times the ZIP median. Six-or-more-bath homes, by contrast, slowed to 22.5 days across 14 sales at a $1,850,000 median. One-bath homes — 12 sales, 1.9% of the market — were the slowest at 61.0 days and the weakest on price at 95.25% of list, with a $260,000 median.

The pattern suggests that in 30062, bathroom count is a liquidity signal up to a point. Going from one bath to two roughly halves time on market (61.0 to 14.0 days). Going from four to five baths cuts it further (14.0 to 9.0 days). But the very top of the bathroom stack — six or more — reverses the trend, likely because those homes are also the largest and most expensive in the ZIP and therefore serve the thinnest buyer pool.

Bedroom-bathroom combinations: where the volume actually sits

The combination table sharpens the picture considerably. The single largest configuration in 30062 is a three-bedroom, two-bath home: 156 sales, 25.0% of the market, a $435,000 median, 1,865 median square feet, 15.0 days on market, and 97.94% of list. The second largest is a four-bedroom, two-bath home: 139 sales, 22.3%, a $560,000 median, 2,566 median square feet, 12.0 days, and a median sale-to-list of exactly 100.0%. Together those two configurations account for 47.3% of all sales in the ZIP.

The four-bedroom, two-bath configuration is the standout. It is the only major combination in the data that closed at a median of 100% of list price, and it did so across 139 transactions — a large enough sample to treat as a real market characteristic rather than noise. Four-bedroom, three-bath homes, by contrast, sold at 98.52% of list across 96 sales, and four-bedroom homes with other bathroom counts (16 sales) at 95.51%. That is a spread of roughly 4.5 percentage points of list price within the same bedroom count, driven entirely by bathroom configuration.

At the top of the market, the six-bedroom, five-bath configuration — 24 sales, a $1,186,250 median, 6,053 median square feet — sold at 97.14% of list in a median of 11.5 days. The six-bedroom, six-or-more-bath configuration — 13 sales, a $1,850,000 median, 7,940 median square feet — took 21.0 days and closed at 98.31% of list. The largest homes in the ZIP are not the slowest to sell, but they are not the fastest either.

Year built: the 1980–1999 cohort is the market's backbone

Nearly half of all sales in 30062 — 296 of 627, or 47.4% — were homes built between 1980 and 1999. That cohort posted a $585,000 median, a 13.0-day median DOM, and 98.65% of list. The 1950–1979 cohort was the second largest at 225 sales (36.0%), with a $475,000 median, 14.0 days, and the strongest median sale-to-list of any era at 99.04%. Together, homes built before 2000 account for 83.4% of all transactions in the ZIP.

Newer construction is a small but high-priced slice. Homes built 2000–2009 contributed 60 sales (9.6%) at an $854,500 median — but they were the weakest era on price realization, closing at 97.45% of list, the lowest median sale-to-list in the dataset. Homes built 2010–2019, just 18 sales, posted a $1,100,000 median and the fastest median DOM of any era at 9.0 days. Homes built 2020 or later, 23 sales, carried the highest median price at $1,150,000 but took 28.0 days to sell — the slowest of any era, and roughly double the ZIP-wide 14.0-day median.

The pre-1950 cohort is too small to analyze: 3 sales, a $265,000 median, 40.0 days, and 92.86% of list. Those figures describe three transactions, not a market segment.

The most actionable finding here is the divergence between the 2000–2009 and 2010–2019 cohorts. Both are modern construction, but the older of the two is the softest-pricing era in the ZIP while the newer is the fastest-selling. Buyers looking at 2000–2009 inventory have the most negotiating room of any era in the data; sellers of 2020-or-newer homes should expect a longer marketing period than the ZIP median despite the premium price point.

HOA: higher prices, faster sales, and a different product

Homes with an HOA made up 337 of 627 sales (53.7%) and posted a 12-month median price of $640,000. Homes without an HOA — 290 sales, 46.3% — posted a $487,000 median. That is a 31.4% gap in median price, or roughly $153,000.

The more informative comparison is on speed and price realization. HOA properties sold in a median of 11.0 days, versus 16.0 days for non-HOA properties — a 5-day advantage. HOA homes also closed at a higher median share of list price, 98.95% versus 98.16%, a gap of roughly 0.8 percentage points.

This is not evidence that an HOA causes higher prices. The dataset does not contain the information needed to separate the effect of the HOA itself from the effect of what HOA properties tend to be — newer, larger, differently located, and often part of planned subdivisions. What the data does show is that HOA-associated properties in 30062 behave as a distinct product: they transact at a materially higher price point, sell faster, and give up slightly less on price. Buyers who filter out HOA properties are filtering out more than half the available inventory and the faster-moving half of it. Sellers of non-HOA homes should expect a longer marketing period and a slightly wider negotiation margin than their HOA counterparts, all else equal.

Price bands: the $400,000–$450,000 band is the market's center

The single largest concentration of transactions in 30062 sits in the $400,000–$450,000 band: 76 sales, 12.1% of the market. The $500,000–$550,000 band was close behind at 75 sales, and the $450,000–$500,000 band at 63. Together, the $400,000–$550,000 range accounts for 214 sales — 34.1% of all transactions in the ZIP. That is where the market's liquidity is concentrated.

Negotiation behavior varies sharply by band, and the variation is not linear. The $400,000–$450,000 band recorded 22 sales at exactly list price and 12 sales 4% below list, with only 3 sales above list — a band where sellers largely held their asking price. The $450,000–$500,000 band was even more disciplined: 21 sales at list, 11 sales 6% below, and just 3 sales above list. The $500,000–$550,000 band showed the widest spread of any high-volume band, with 17 sales at list, 11 sales 4% below, 10 sales 6% below, and 9 sales 2% below — a band where buyers and sellers were actively meeting in the middle.

At the top of the market, the $1M+ band — 70 sales, the second-largest single band by count — showed a distinctly different negotiation profile. Sixteen sales closed at list, 11 at 2% below, 11 at 6% below, and 8 at 8% below, but the band also produced 3 sales more than 20% above list and 3 sales more than 20% below list. The $1M+ segment is the only band in the data with meaningful two-sided dispersion: it contains both the strongest over-ask outcomes and the deepest discounts in the ZIP.

The thinnest bands are at the bottom. The $150,000–$200,000 band recorded a single sale, and the $200,000–$250,000 band recorded 4. The $250,000–$300,000 band, 22 sales, showed the weakest price realization of any band with meaningful volume: 4 sales 6% below list, 4 sales 4% below, 3 sales 2% below, and only 2 sales at list. Buyers in the $250,000–$300,000 range had the most leverage of any price tier in 30062.

The $600,000–$650,000 band, 52 sales, was the most list-price-disciplined band in the ZIP: 17 sales at exactly list, 10 sales 2% below, and 7 sales 2% above — 24 of 52 sales within 2% of asking in either direction. The $650,000–$700,000 band, 34 sales, showed a similar concentration, with 9 sales at list and 6 sales 6% below.

The practical map of buyer leverage in 30062 runs as follows: the most negotiating room is in the $250,000–$300,000 band and in the $1M+ band's lower tail; the least is in the $600,000–$650,000 band and the $450,000–$500,000 band, where sellers held firm across the largest share of transactions.

Negotiating room is concentrated in the mid-to-upper price bands, not the entry tier. The $400–450K band — the single most active band in the ZIP at 76 sales, 12.1% of the market — shows 22 transactions at exactly list, 12 at -4%, and 7 at -2%, with only a handful of deep discounts. The $500–550K band (75 sales) is similar: 17 at list, 11 at -4%, 10 at -6%, and 9 at -2%. The $450–500K band (63 sales) is the most list-anchored of the high-volume tiers, with 21 at exactly list and no transactions worse than -14%. By contrast, the $350–400K band (45 sales) carries a visibly heavier discount tail: 7 sales at -8%, 5 at -10%, 5 at -4%, plus single transactions at -12%, -14%, -16%, -18%, -20%, and below -20%. That is the band where buyers have the most observable leverage relative to volume.

The $1M+ tier behaves like a different market. Of the 70 sales above $1M, 16 closed at list, 11 at -2%, 11 at -6%, and 8 at -8% — but the band also produced 3 sales above +20%, 3 at +6%, and single transactions at +10% and +12%. The dispersion is the story: luxury transactions in 30062 are not uniformly discounted, they are simply less predictable. The $600–650K band (52 sales) is the most list-anchored segment in the dataset, with 17 at exactly list, 10 at -2%, 7 at -4%, and 7 at +2% — a tight, symmetric distribution around asking.

Property type reshapes pricing power. Single Family homes (589 sales, 93.9% of the market) posted a 12-month median sale-to-list of 98.70%, while Townhouses (28 sales) came in at 96.28% and Condos (6 sales) at 99.29%. The Townhouse figure is the weakest in the ZIP and comes with a 12-month median DOM of 36.5 days — more than double the Single Family median of 13 days. Condo pricing power is the strongest on paper, but with only 6 transactions it is a small sample and should not be treated as a stable signal. The "Others" category (4 sales) recorded a 90.55% median sale-to-list, again on a sample too small to generalize.

Age of home correlates with pricing outcomes, though not monotonically. Homes built 1950–1979 (225 sales) achieved the strongest 12-month median sale-to-list at 99.04%, despite carrying the lowest 12-month median price of any era at $475,000. The 2000–2009 cohort (60 sales) was the weakest at 97.45%, and the 1980–1999 cohort (296 sales, the largest era group) landed at 98.65%. New construction (2020+, 23 sales) came in at 98.31% with a 12-month median DOM of 28 days — slower than the 2010–2019 cohort's 9-day median, suggesting that newer product is not automatically the fastest-moving.

Bedroom count produces a clean pricing-power gradient. Four-bedroom homes (251 sales, 40.2% of the market) posted the strongest 12-month median sale-to-list at 99.20% and the fastest 12-month median DOM at 12 days. Five-bedroom homes (122 sales) followed at 99.02% and 14.5 days. Three-bedroom homes (180 sales) came in at 98.00% and 15 days. The ≤2-bedroom segment (22 sales) was the weakest at 96.36% with a 39.5-day median DOM. The 4-bed/2-bath combination specifically — 139 sales, the single largest beds-baths cell — achieved a 12-month median sale-to-list of exactly 100.0%, the strongest reading in the entire beds-baths matrix. The 5-bed/3-bath cell (46 sales) also hit 100.0%. The weakest beds-baths cell with meaningful volume is 4-bed/Other-bath (16 sales) at 95.51%.

HOA status is associated with both faster sales and stronger pricing outcomes. With-HOA properties (337 sales, 53.7% of the market) recorded a 12-month median sale-to-list of 98.95% and a 12-month median DOM of 11 days. No-HOA properties (290 sales, 46.3%) posted 98.16% and 16 days. The with-HOA cohort also carried a higher 12-month median price ($640,000 vs. $487,000), a 31.4% gap. This is a correlation in the observed transactions, not evidence that HOA status causes higher prices — the two groups likely differ in age, size, and location within the ZIP.

Days on market is the strongest single predictor of where a sale lands relative to list. The DOM distribution is heavily front-loaded: 214 sales (34.1%) closed within 7 days, 107 (17.1%) in 8–14 days, and 51.2% closed within 14 days. At the other end, 107 sales (17.1%) took 64 days or longer. The middle of the distribution is comparatively thin — only 20 sales in the 29–35 day bucket and 27 in the 36–42 day bucket. This is a barbell: a large mass of very fast transactions and a substantial slow tail, with relatively little activity in between. The fast cohort is dominated by 4-bedroom homes (12-day median DOM, 99.20% sale-to-list) and 3-bed/3-bath configurations (10.5-day median DOM, 99.25% sale-to-list). The slow cohort is dominated by ≤2-bedroom homes (39.5-day median DOM, 96.36% sale-to-list), 1-bath homes (61-day median DOM, 95.25% sale-to-list), and Townhouses (36.5-day median DOM, 96.28% sale-to-list).

Subdivision-level listing data adds a forward-looking layer. The current-month subdivision snapshot for 30062 shows 16 subdivisions with active inventory but zero recorded closings in the snapshot month, so sale-to-list ratios are unavailable at that level. What the snapshot does show is median list price and median DOM for active listings. The fastest-moving active subdivisions are Hunters Trace (19-day median DOM, $900,000 median list, 7 active listings), East Park (23 days, $633,750), and Newcastle (25 days, $649,999). The slowest are Cedar Forks (161 days, $560,000), Creekside Bluffs (151 days, $999,000), and Chestnut Creek (103 days, $164,000). The spread between the fastest and slowest active subdivisions is more than 140 days — a reminder that ZIP-level medians mask enormous submarket variation.

What this means in practice. Buyers in the $350–400K band and in the ≤2-bedroom, 1-bath, and Townhouse segments have the most observable negotiating room, with median sale-to-list ratios in the 95–96% range and DOM medians well above the ZIP norm. Sellers of 4-bedroom, 3-bath, and 5-bedroom homes — particularly those with HOA amenities — retain the strongest pricing power, with median sale-to-list ratios at or above 99% and DOM medians in the low teens. The barbell shape of the DOM distribution means that pricing a home correctly at launch matters disproportionately: homes that miss the first two weeks are far more likely to land in the 64-day-plus tail, where the median sale-to-list ratio is materially weaker.

Median price did not track volume. The 12-month median sale price is $550,000, but monthly medians ranged from a trough of $490,000 in January 2026 to a peak of $680,000 in July 2026. The July figure represents a 19.3% month-over-month increase — the largest single-month price move in the window — and was followed by an 18.5% month-over-month decline in August to $554,500. That kind of swing in a single ZIP is more consistent with a shift in the mix of homes that closed than with a broad repricing of the market. The 3-month median price comparison (most recent three months vs. the prior three) shows a 7.2% increase, and the 6-month comparison shows a 10.1% increase, so the medium-term trend in the median is upward even though the most recent month pulled back sharply.

The spread between the peak and trough monthly medians is wide. The $680,000 July 2026 median is 38.8% above the $490,000 January 2026 median. Over the full 12-month window, the median price span change is 6.1%. That combination — a modest full-window change alongside a very wide intra-year range — is the signature of a market where the composition of closings shifts materially month to month, not one where every home is repricing by 38%.

Volume and price moved in opposite directions at the extremes. January 2026 was simultaneously the trough volume month (32 sales) and the trough price month ($490,000). May 2026 was the peak volume month (71 sales) but not the peak price month — that was July 2026 (44 sales, $680,000 median). The strongest price month was a below-average volume month, and the strongest volume month was a mid-range price month. This is consistent with a market where high-volume months are dominated by mid-priced resale activity, while low-volume months can be skewed upward or downward by a handful of large transactions.

What can and cannot be concluded. The observed pattern — a winter volume trough, a spring volume peak, and a summer price peak — is a single-year observation. The dataset does not contain multi-year history, so it cannot confirm that this pattern repeats annually. The 12-month window does show that the ZIP's median price ended the period 6.1% above where it started, with the 3-month and 6-month comparisons both positive, which is the most defensible statement about direction. The sharp July-to-August median decline of 18.5% is a single-month move and should not be read as the start of a trend without additional months of data.

Bedroom count is the second lever. Homes with two bedrooms or fewer (22 sales) had a 96.36 median sale-to-list and a 39.5-day median DOM, the weakest and slowest of any bedroom tier. Three-bedroom homes (180 sales) were only marginally better at 98.00 and 15 days. Four-bedroom homes — the largest single tier at 251 sales, 40.2% of the market — cleared at a 99.20 median sale-to-list in a median of 12 days. Buyers shopping the small-home end of ZIP 30062 are negotiating in a materially softer pool than buyers shopping four-bedroom inventory.

Bathroom count tells the same story at the extremes. One-bath homes (12 sales) had a 95.25 median sale-to-list and a 61-day median DOM — the largest observed discount and the longest observed marketing period of any bathroom tier. Five-bath homes (41 sales) moved in a median of 9 days at a 99.02 median sale-to-list. The gap between those two tiers is roughly 52 days of market time and about 3.8 percentage points of price concession.

What sells fastest

Speed in this ZIP is concentrated in a narrow set of characteristics. The 214 sales that closed within 0–7 days represent 34.1% of all transactions; 51.2% closed within 14 days and 66.5% within 28 days. At the other end, 107 sales — 17.1% — took 64 days or longer.

The fastest-moving segments in the data:

• Five-bath homes: 9-day median DOM across 41 sales.
• Homes built 2010–2019: 9-day median DOM across 18 sales (small sample).
• Three-bed / three-bath homes: 10.5-day median DOM across 20 sales.
• HOA properties: 11-day median DOM across 337 sales, versus 16 days for the 290 no-HOA sales.
• Four-bedroom homes: 12-day median DOM across 251 sales — the highest-volume fast segment in the ZIP.

The slowest: one-bath homes (61 days, 12 sales), two-bedroom-or-fewer homes (39.5 days, 22 sales), townhouses (36.5 days, 28 sales), and homes built in 2020 or later (28 days, 23 sales).

Where buyers can find relative value

Relative value here means a combination of below-median price, below-median price per square foot, and enough transaction volume that a buyer is not bidding against a thin market.

The 12-month median price per square foot for the ZIP is $218. Townhouses posted a 202 median price per square foot across 28 sales — the lowest of any property type — while condos posted 245.5 across just 6 sales. Single-family homes sat at 219 across 589 sales. On a per-square-foot basis, townhouses are the only property type trading meaningfully below the ZIP-wide figure with a sample large enough to matter.

By era, the 1950–1979 cohort (225 sales, 36.0% of the market) had a 475,000 median price and a 99.04 median sale-to-list — the strongest sale-to-list of any era — while the 2000–2009 cohort (60 sales) had the weakest at 97.45. The 1980–1999 cohort, the largest at 296 sales (47.4%), sat at a 585,000 median with a 98.65 median sale-to-list and a 13-day median DOM.

The 400–450K band is the single most liquid price tier in the ZIP at 76 sales (12.1% of all transactions), and its negotiation profile is genuinely mixed: 22 sales closed at list, 12 closed 4% under, and 7 closed 2% under, but 6 closed 10% under and 3 closed 12% under. That is a band where a well-prepared buyer can occasionally capture a double-digit discount, but the modal outcome is still at or near list. The 450–500K band (63 sales) is similar: 21 at list, 11 at 6% under, 8 at 4% under.

The 350–400K band (45 sales) shows the widest discount tail of any mid-market tier: 5 sales at 10% under, 7 at 8% under, 4 at 6% under, and 5 at 4% under, against 10 at list. Buyers targeting that band should expect to negotiate.

What buyers should watch

Three specific segments deserve attention rather than generic caution.

First, newer construction. Homes built 2020 or later (23 sales) had a 1,150,000 median price and a 28-day median DOM — the slowest of any era — with a 98.31 median sale-to-list. Newer product is not moving faster than the resale market in this ZIP; it is moving slower.

Second, the 2000–2009 cohort. Sixty sales, an 854,500 median price, and a 97.45 median sale-to-list — the weakest sale-to-list of any era. Buyers in that price and vintage bracket have the most room to push.

Third, the 750–800K band. Eighteen sales, and the distribution is unusually polarized: 5 at list, 4 at 4% under, 2 at 2% under, but also 2 at 10% under and 1 at 12% under. Thin volume plus wide dispersion means pricing is genuinely uncertain in that band — an opportunity for a patient buyer, a risk for one who anchors to a single comp.

So what: A buyer in ZIP 30062 should target townhouses, one-bath or two-bedroom-or-fewer homes, and the 2000–2009 vintage cohort if the goal is maximum negotiating room, and should treat the 400–450K and 450–500K bands as the most liquid — and therefore most competitive — entry points. Newer construction is not the fast lane it is often assumed to be.

The segments that clear closest to asking are four-bedroom homes (99.20 median sale-to-list, 251 sales), five-bedroom homes (99.02, 122 sales), and the 1950–1979 vintage cohort (99.04, 225 sales). Two configurations hit a perfect 100.0 median sale-to-list: four-bed/two-bath (139 sales) and five-bed/three-bath (46 sales). Those are the two most reliably at-list configurations in the dataset.

What receives discounts and what sits

The discount side is equally specific. One-bath homes (12 sales) had a 95.25 median sale-to-list and a 61-day median DOM. Two-bedroom-or-fewer homes (22 sales) had a 96.36 median sale-to-list and a 39.5-day median DOM. Townhouses (28 sales) had a 96.28 median sale-to-list and a 36.5-day median DOM. Homes built 2020 or later (23 sales) had a 28-day median DOM. Homes built 2000–2009 (60 sales) had the weakest era-level sale-to-list at 97.45.

The four-bedroom/other-bath configuration (16 sales) had a 95.51 median sale-to-list — the weakest of any beds/baths combination with a meaningful sample — despite a 670,000 median price and a 12-day median DOM. That combination of fast marketing time and deep discount suggests sellers in that configuration are pricing optimistically and then correcting.

Velocity by ZIP and subdivision

ZIP 30062 is effectively a single-city market: all 627 sales are in Marietta, so there is no cross-ZIP velocity comparison available within this dataset. Subdivision-level data is a current-month snapshot (October 2026) of active listings rather than closings, and every subdivision in the snapshot shows zero homes sold for that month — so subdivision liquidity cannot be measured from closings here. What the snapshot does show is where listings are sitting.

The fastest-moving active subdivisions by median days on market are Hunters Trace (19 days, 7 active listings, 900,000 median list, 262.48 median price per square foot), East Park (23 days, 4 listings, 633,750 median list, 174.32 per square foot), Newcastle (25 days, 3 listings, 649,999 median list, 189.29 per square foot), and Walton Reserve (29 days, 3 listings, 999,000 median list, 227.76 per square foot).

The slowest are Cedar Forks (161 days, 3 listings, 560,000 median list), Creekside Bluffs (151 days, 3 listings, 999,000 median list, 286.26 per square foot), Chestnut Creek (103 days, 3 listings, 164,000 median list), Hickory Bluff (96 days, 5 listings, 540,000 median list), and Easthampton (82 days, 3 listings, 1,059,000 median list).

Note the pattern: the two slowest subdivisions by DOM — Creekside Bluffs and Easthampton — are also among the highest-priced, at 999,000 and 1,059,000 median list. The high end of this ZIP is where listings age.

Does pricing matter more in certain segments?

Yes, and the price-band negotiation data makes it visible. In the 400–450K band (76 sales), 22 closed at list and 12 closed 4% under — a tight cluster. In the 350–400K band (45 sales), the distribution is flatter and the discount tail is longer: 10 at list, 7 at 8% under, 5 at 10% under, 4 at 6% under, 5 at 4% under. In the 1M+ band (70 sales), 16 closed at list, 11 at 2% under, 11 at 6% under, and 8 at 8% under — but also 3 above 20% over list and 3 at 2% over. The luxury band has both the deepest discounts and the largest premiums in the dataset.

New construction versus existing housing

Homes built 2020 or later (23 sales) had a 1,150,000 median price — the highest of any era — but a 28-day median DOM, the slowest, and a 98.31 median sale-to-list. Homes built 2010–2019 (18 sales) had a 1,100,000 median price, a 9-day median DOM, and a 98.62 median sale-to-list. The 2000–2009 cohort (60 sales) had an 854,500 median and the weakest era sale-to-list at 97.45.

The newest stock is not the fastest-selling stock in this ZIP. The 2010–2019 vintage is.

HOA dynamics

HOA properties (337 sales, 53.7% of the market) had a 640,000 median price, an 11-day median DOM, and a 98.95 median sale-to-list. No-HOA properties (290 sales, 46.3%) had a 487,000 median price, a 16-day median DOM, and a 98.16 median sale-to-list. HOA properties carried a 31.4% higher median price and sold five days faster with a modestly stronger sale-to-list. This is a correlation in the observed transactions, not evidence that an HOA causes higher prices — HOA communities in this ZIP simply tend to be newer and larger.

So what: A seller in ZIP 30062 with a four-bedroom, two-bath home built between 1950 and 1979 is positioned in the strongest combination the data supports — high volume, at-list pricing, and fast marketing time. A seller with a one-bath, two-bedroom-or-fewer, or townhouse product should plan for a 36-to-61-day marketing period and a 3-to-5% concession from list. A seller at the top of the market — above roughly 1,000,000 — should expect the longest marketing times in the ZIP, with active listings in Easthampton and Creekside Bluffs sitting 82 and 151 days respectively.

By price band, the highest-volume tiers are 400–450K (76 sales, 12.1%), 500–550K (75 sales), 450–500K (63 sales), 600–650K (52 sales), and 550–600K (50 sales). Together those five bands account for 316 of 627 sales — just over half the market sits between 400,000 and 650,000.

By configuration, four-bedroom homes are 40.2% of sales (251), three-bedroom 28.8% (180), five-bedroom 19.6% (122), six-bedroom-or-more 7.9% (49), and two-bedroom-or-fewer 3.5% (22). Four-bed/two-bath alone is 139 sales (22.3%) and four-bed/three-bath is 96 sales (15.4%).

Where homes are sitting

The DOM distribution is bimodal. 214 sales closed in 0–7 days (34.1%) and 107 took 64 days or longer (17.1%). Only 20 sales landed in the 29–35 day bucket and 18 in the 50–56 day bucket. This is not a market with a smooth 30-to-45-day norm — it is a market that either clears in under two weeks or grinds past two months.

The segments most likely to grind: one-bath homes (61-day median, 12 sales), two-bedroom-or-fewer (39.5 days, 22 sales), townhouses (36.5 days, 28 sales), and 2020-or-later construction (28 days, 23 sales).

Where negotiation margins are largest

The largest observed concessions cluster in the 350–400K band, where 5 sales closed 10% under list and 7 closed 8% under, against 10 at list. The 1M+ band (70 sales) shows the widest absolute dispersion: 16 at list, 11 at 2% under, 11 at 6% under, 8 at 8% under, 2 above 20% over, and 3 at 2% over. The 400–450K band is the most disciplined, with 22 of 76 sales at list.

Configuration-level margins: four-bed/other-bath (16 sales) at 95.51 median sale-to-list, three-bed/other-bath (4 sales) at 89.60, and two-bedroom-or-fewer/other-bath (1 sale) at 89.61. Those last two are too small to act on individually, but the four-bed/other-bath pattern across 16 sales is worth noting.

Competitive and underserved segments

The most competitive segments — fast, at-list, high volume — are four-bed/two-bath (139 sales, 12-day median DOM, 100.0 median sale-to-list) and five-bed/three-bath (46 sales, 15-day median DOM, 100.0 median sale-to-list). Winning listings in those configurations requires pricing precision, not negotiation skill.

The underserved or unusually slow segments are one-bath homes (12 sales, 61-day median DOM, 95.25 median sale-to-list), two-bedroom-or-fewer homes (22 sales, 39.5-day median DOM), and townhouses (28 sales, 36.5-day median DOM). These are small pools, but they are pools where listings sit and where a specialist could differentiate.

Where market shifts are occurring

The 12-month median price moved from a 490,000 trough in January 2026 to a 680,000 peak in July 2026 — a 19.3% month-over-month move in July, the largest single-month swing in the window. The August 2026 median was 554,500, down 18.5% from July. The three-month median (June–August 2026) is 7.2% above the prior three months, and the six-month median is 10.1% above the prior six months. Over the full window, the median price span change is 6.1%.

Volume moved the other way. The first three months of the window (September–November 2025) averaged 53 sales per month; the most recent three (June–August 2026) averaged 47 — an 11.4% decline. Peak volume was 71 sales in May 2026; trough was 32 in January 2026.

So what: An agent building a business in ZIP 30062 should concentrate on four-bedroom, two- and three-bath single-family homes between 400,000 and 650,000 — that is where more than half the transactions and the most reliable at-list outcomes live. The listing-side opportunity is in the slow segments: one-bath, small-bedroom, and townhouse inventory, where a 36-to-61-day marketing period and a 3-to-5% concession are the norm and where sellers need realistic pricing guidance. The pricing environment is volatile at the top — a 19.3% single-month swing in July followed by an 18.5% reversal in August — so luxury listings need current-month comps, not trailing-six-month averages.

Liquidity by price band is concentrated between 400,000 and 650,000, which together hold 316 sales. The 400–450K band is the single densest at 76 sales.

Lower acquisition prices and per-square-foot entry

The lowest median price points in the dataset: two-bedroom-or-fewer homes at 284,500 (22 sales), one-bath homes at 260,000 (12 sales), townhouses at 351,000 (28 sales), and the 1950–1979 vintage cohort at 475,000 (225 sales). The lowest median price per square foot is townhouses at 202, against a ZIP-wide 218 and a single-family 219.

The 1950–1979 cohort is the only low-price segment with substantial volume: 225 sales, 36.0% of the market, a 475,000 median price, a 99.04 median sale-to-list, and a 14-day median DOM. It combines the largest sample of any era with the strongest era-level sale-to-list — meaning it is both liquid and priced close to asking.

Where discounts are largest

The largest observed sale-to-list discounts by configuration: four-bed/other-bath at 95.51 (16 sales), three-bed/other-bath at 89.60 (4 sales), and two-bedroom-or-fewer/other-bath at 89.61 (1 sale). By era, the 2000–2009 cohort at 97.45 (60 sales) and the pre-1950 cohort at 92.86 (3 sales). By property type, townhouses at 96.28 (28 sales) and other types at 90.55 (4 sales).

The 350–400K band shows the deepest discount tail in the mid-market: 5 sales at 10% under, 7 at 8% under, and 4 at 6% under, against 10 at list.

Older housing stock and geographic concentration

Older stock is a defining feature of this ZIP. Homes built 1950–1979 are 36.0% of sales (225) and homes built 1980–1999 are 47.4% (296). Together, pre-2000 construction is 83.4% of the market. Homes built 2000 or later are 16.6% (101 sales).

Geographic concentration is total: all 627 sales are in Marietta, ZIP 30062. There is no sub-ZIP variation to exploit.

Price trends and asking-versus-clearing variation

The 12-month median price span change is 6.1%. The three-month median is 7.2% above the prior three months and the six-month median is 10.1% above the prior six months. The peak month was July 2026 at 680,000; the trough was January 2026 at 490,000. The most recent month, August 2026, was 554,500.

Asking-versus-clearing variation is widest in the 1M+ band, where 70 sales produced 16 at list, 11 at 2% under, 11 at 6% under, 8 at 8% under, 3 above 20% over, and 3 at 2% over. That is a band where the spread between the highest and lowest clearing prices relative to list is roughly 40 percentage points.

What this dataset cannot tell an investor

This dataset does not contain rental rates, income, expenses, vacancy, financing costs, or holding periods. Rental yield, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, and total return cannot be calculated from it. Nothing here should be read as a statement about investment performance.

So what: The observable characteristics most worth further investigation are the 1950–1979 vintage cohort (225 sales, 475,000 median, 99.04 median sale-to-list, 14-day median DOM — the deepest liquidity combined with the strongest at-list pricing of any era), the townhouse segment (28 sales, 351,000 median, 202 median price per square foot, 96.28 median sale-to-list — the lowest per-square-foot entry with the largest observed concession), and the 350–400K band (45 sales with the deepest discount tail in the mid-market). The 1M+ band (70 sales) shows the widest asking-to-clearing dispersion in the dataset and would require property-level underwriting rather than segment-level assumptions. All of these are starting points for diligence, not conclusions about returns.

3. HOA properties carry a 31.4% median price premium and sell 5 days faster. With-HOA median price was $640,000 versus $487,000 without; median DOM was 11 versus 16. This is a composition effect as much as anything — HOA subdivisions in 30062 skew newer and larger — but the DOM gap is the more actionable number: HOA-governed inventory moved roughly a third faster at the median.

4. New construction is the slowest-selling age cohort despite the highest price. Homes built 2020 or later posted a $1,150,000 median price across 23 sales but a 28-day median DOM — slower than 1950–1979 (14 days), 1980–1999 (13 days), and 2000–2009 (14.5 days). The 2010–2019 cohort, by contrast, was the fastest in the entire dataset at 9 days across 18 sales. Both samples are small, but the direction is consistent: the newest product is not the quickest to clear.

5. Four-bedroom, two-bath homes are the only large segment closing at 100% of list. Across 139 sales — the largest single beds/baths cell in the dataset — the median sale-to-list was 100.0. The adjacent four-bed/three-bath cell (96 sales) came in at 98.5. That 1.5-point gap on nearly identical bedroom counts suggests the second bathroom is being priced in but not bid up.

6. Bedroom count drives price far more steeply than bathroom count. Moving from ≤2 beds to 6+ beds multiplies the median price roughly 4.3x ($284,500 to $1,227,500). Moving from 1 bath to 6+ baths multiplies it about 7.1x ($260,000 to $1,850,000) — but the bath ladder is built on tiny cells (12 one-bath sales, 14 six-plus-bath sales). The reliable read is the bedroom ladder, where every rung has at least 22 sales.

7. Above-list closings are concentrated in the mid-to-upper bands, not the top. The 1M+ band recorded 3 sales above +20% and 16 at list across 70 transactions. The 600–650K band recorded 7 sales at +2% and 3 at +4% across 52 sales — a tighter, more competitive cluster. Meanwhile 350–400K had 10 sales at exactly list and only 1 above +2%. Bidding competition in 30062 peaks in the 600–650K range, not at the luxury ceiling.

8. The 500–550K and 450–500K bands show near-identical list-price discipline. 450–500K: 21 of 63 at list. 500–550K: 17 of 75 at list. But 450–500K had 11 sales at −6% versus 10 in 500–550K, and 500–550K had 11 at −4% versus 8. The two bands behave almost identically on negotiation despite a $50,000 price gap — buyers are not treating them as separate markets.

9. Subdivision asking prices span a 6.5x range within one ZIP. Active-listing medians run from $164,000 in Chestnut Creek to $1,059,000 in Easthampton. Median $/sqft does not track that ladder: Creekside Bluffs asks $286/sqft at a $999,000 median list, while Easthampton asks $191/sqft at $1,059,000. The most expensive subdivision by list price is not the most expensive by unit area.

10. Subdivision-level days-on-market diverges by more than 8x. Hunters Trace shows a 19-day median DOM on a $900,000 median list; Cedar Forks shows 161 days on a $560,000 median list; Creekside Bluffs shows 151 days at $999,000. Cedar Forks is the anomaly worth flagging — mid-priced inventory sitting five times longer than a subdivision asking 60% more. All subdivision figures are current-month snapshots with 3–7 active listings each, so treat them as directional.

That divergence is visible month to month. The window opened at a $522,500 median in September 2025, bottomed at $490,000 in January 2026 on just 32 sales — the trough for both price and volume — then recovered through spring, peaking at $680,000 in July 2026, the largest single-month move in the window at +19.3%. August 2026 gave back much of that, printing a $554,500 median, down 18.5% from July. The last month's median sits essentially at the 12-month median of $550,000.

Volume tells a steadier story than price. Sales ran 54, 48, 56, 56 across the first four months, collapsed to 32 and 36 in January and February, then surged to 69, 65, and 71 in March through May — the 71-sale May reading is the window's peak. The most recent three months (June, July, August) averaged 47 sales, below the 53-per-month opening pace but above the winter trough.

The practical read: the 30062 market is absorbing fewer transactions at higher prices, with a July spike that August did not sustain. Negotiation behavior remains the anchor — 57.6% of the 623 transactions with a recorded list price closed below list, 25.7% at list, and 16.7% above. That split has been stable enough to treat as the market's baseline posture. Nothing in the 12-month window supports a directional call beyond the current pattern of thinning volume against firming medians.

Are home prices in ZIP 30062 rising or falling? The 12-month median rose 6.1% from the start of the window (September 2025) to the end (August 2026). The most recent three months averaged a median 7.2% above the prior three months, and the last six months ran 10.1% above the prior six — though the most recent month-over-month move was -18.5%, reflecting the July 2026 peak of $680,000 giving way to August's $554,500.

How fast are homes selling in ZIP 30062? The 12-month median days on market was 14.0. 34.1% of sales went under contract within 7 days, 51.2% within 14 days, and 66.5% within 28 days; 17.1% took 64 days or longer.

What is the median price per square foot in ZIP 30062? The 12-month median price per square foot was $218.00, against an average home size of 2,984 square feet.

How much do buyers negotiate in ZIP 30062? Of the 623 transactions with a recorded list price, 57.6% closed below asking, 25.7% closed at list, and 16.7% closed above list. The 12-month median sale-to-list ratio for single-family homes was 98.7%.

Which ZIP 30062 price band has the most sales? The $400,000–$450,000 band was the dominant price band, accounting for 12.1% of the 627 sales. The $500,000–$550,000 band was a close second at 75 sales, and the $1M+ tier accounted for 70 sales.

What property type dominates ZIP 30062? Single-family homes made up 93.9% of sales (589 transactions), with a 12-month median price of $565,000. Townhouses were 4.5% (28 sales, median $351,000), condos 1.0% (6 sales, median $362,500), and other types 0.6% (4 sales).

Do homes with an HOA sell for more in ZIP 30062? HOA properties had a higher 12-month median sale price of $640,000 versus $487,000 for non-HOA homes — a 31.4% gap — and sold faster, with a median of 11 days on market versus 16. HOA homes were 53.7% of sales (337 transactions) versus 46.3% (290) without.
