The 60-second read
Morrow logged 133 FMLS closings in the 12 months through September 2026 at a median of $249,000. It's a small market with direct I-75 access, close to the airport.
Here's the unusual part: the housing stock skips a generation. About 45% of recent sales were built in the 1960s and 70s, and 34% were built 2015 or later. So you're usually choosing between an original ranch and a nearly new townhome. Two very different products at similar prices, which is why the median moves slowly. The 2025 annual median was $232,500, a little under 2022's $235,000.
What the housing stock actually is
Morrow's stock splits into two eras. About 45% of homes sold were built in the 1960s and 70s, mostly ranches on established lots. Another 34% were built 2015 or later, much of it townhome product. The 1980s and 90s, the default decade in most of Clayton County, are only 8% here.
The middle half of sales runs $183,500 to $295,400, with typical homes between 1,300 and 1,904 square feet at a median of $160 per square foot. The median home took 40 days to go under contract, and sellers averaged 96% of list price. Translation: you have time to think, and room to negotiate.
