Canton, GA housing market data

Updated September 2026 · Source: FMLS, compiled by the Terence Richardson Group

What it means

Canton is Cherokee's seat and its northern growth front. Bridgemill and Great Sky carry the volume. Downtown's revival is adding a walkable core to what was long a pure-subdivision market.

Over the trailing 12 months, Canton recorded 1,545 closed sales at a median price of $500,000. Median days on market: 35. That's about 5 weeks from list to contract, so buyers have room to compare and negotiate. The average close-to-list ratio was 96.3%, so the typical seller gave up about 3.7% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $380,000 to $470,000. That's up 24%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.

How often do listings fail to sell in Canton?

34.6% of Canton listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 819 withdrawn or expired against 1,545 closed.

That means about 1 in 3 of those listing attempts ended without a sale, after the prep, the showings, the waiting. Each relisting counts separately, so this measures attempts, not homes. Pricing and the first two weeks have a lot to do with which group a listing lands in, and it's the number listing agents almost never show you.
