Lake Arrowhead, Waleska GA

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

Lake Arrowhead is a Waleska community in Cherokee County. The FMLS archive we maintain shows 808 closed sales here since January 2020. That's enough to read this market on its own numbers, not Waleska averages.

Over the trailing 12 months, Lake Arrowhead recorded 100 closed sales at a median price of $500,625. Median days on market: 66. That's about 9 weeks from list to contract, so buyers have room to compare and negotiate. The average close-to-list ratio was 96.7%, so the typical seller gave up about 3.3% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $336,000 to $451,450. That's up 34%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.

As of September 2026, the pace here has been measured. That usually gives buyers room to negotiate. For sellers, week-one pricing discipline is the difference-maker.

TRG proprietary data

How often do listings fail to sell in Lake Arrowhead?

56.9% of Lake Arrowhead listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 132 withdrawn or expired against 100 closed.

That means nearly half 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.
