How often do listings fail to sell in zip 30297?

35.4% of zip 30297 listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 63 withdrawn or expired against 115 closed.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.
