The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell housing market is leaning towards balanced right now, though it still has some competitive aspects. Prices are seeing small increases, and homes are taking a bit longer to sell than they did last year. Buyers have more choices, but new homes aren't coming onto the market as quickly.
The median price for a home in this area is $429,000. That's a slight increase of 0.9% from the previous month and up 1.9% compared to the same time last year.
Homes are staying on the market for 52 days on average. This is a bit longer than last year, when homes sold slightly faster. This means buyers have a little more time to make decisions.
There are 28,899 homes listed for sale in the area, a 1.9% increase over last year. However, fewer brand-new listings are appearing, down 2.6% compared to last year. More homes are available overall, but new options are slowing down.
Nearly 23% of homes have also dropped their prices. This means almost one-quarter of sellers are adjusting their expectations to attract buyers.
If you're a buyer, this could be a good time to look, as you might find more options and less pressure to make a super-fast decision. Sellers might need to be realistic about pricing to stand out.
